How was it cut ? edit

It would be good to have an explanation of how these things were made - seems like it would be a pretty complex engineering operation. Any machinists out there ? Rcbutcher (talk) 13:46, 11 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Citation for wide use on 4.5" and larger caliber guns edit

How would one go about even finding a citation for the wide use of this design on 4.5" and larger caliber guns? I think finding a reasonable number of guns that use this mechanism would be reasonable, but that just proves those guns use it. Perhaps it should be reworded? Or should one add citations to each of those guns that use it? 192.24.210.36 (talk) 11:52, 11 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
