They were selling such rifles to a limited clientele whose concern for best possible performance would justify such expense. Of course in the interwar years, they were not exactly in a hurry to meet demanding production quotas. Sincerely. bruce.

Not as much as who they were selling the rifle to, but that they had the confidence in their barrels to pull a service rifle off the rack and the barrel would pass the star gage test rather than star gauging the barrel before it was installed.
