Hey RG7-

That Dominion post was not the result of Chen's article.... That intro was from the original letter to the Historical Society from the author, my Grandfather, who was a Dominion employee and then was with CA till closing. If you could put that Chen link back up as a reference, because I'm not sure if it was edited by Chen. I can tell you that most of the content of the 43-45 history is not in this article...
Yes- there is info on production of light guns and snipers. This history contains all production numbers and orders for this time period. It's a little dry but I know the numbers are correct. Talks alot about Sniper production in that their production was dependent solely on the delivery of scopes. Then goes into the factory workers, facilities, process, etc...
I'm trying to electronify all my Grandfathers papers, so I'll be happy to pass it on if you guys are interested. Most of his archive covers the 60's when LB was trying to survive..
