Yes...Dean-DGR

Yes the rebuild facilities and the soldiers sanded more cartouches off then anyone else did.:(

Yes indeed, and that's one reason why the post WWII stocks started out "beefyer". For subsequent rebuilds.

Yes, and at some arsenals - it seems they used the roughest horse shoe rasp they could find to do it.
