S^VA.GH AHMS COKPOHATiOST August 22, 1919. Mr* Horace Kephart,xu . .Outing Pubxishirig 0o.\ A 141 w. 36th ^t., VUi4V6^^Eu \i ,ir A i Haa-So-ife-Gity. v ^* WIL. UxKjuu^ Dear Mr« rKephart; Please pardon the delay in answering your very interesting letter of the 11th. As usual, my personal corres pondence is shockingly delayed. I am mighty glad that you find that the accuracy of the Model 1919 rifle is so good. Here at the factory we are almost hypnotized "by these barrels because they al!J. seem to do so well and because the tendency to unaccountables, especially at ranges over 50 yards, is reduced so. Going to a four-groove barrel for a lead alloy bullet is flying in the face of match rifle precedence, as you know. We have not any radical theory developed yet to explain why this barrel should shoot better than the standard sis-groove barrel or than the special handmade barrels with larger and varying numbers of grooves. We merely stumbled on to this fact empiri cally in our experimental work and proved it out by a lot of shooting and checking. Of course, our inspection on our barrel job has always been exceedingly rigid, but we watch our cutters and our bore and rifling dimensions with just as much care and our maximum and minimum inspection limits are just as small in our other .22 calibre, rim-fire barrels as they are on the I.H.A. barrel. The barrels of the Model 1903 Model 1912 and Model 1914 rifles were capable of mighty good work and built up qmite a reputation. At 25 yards there is not much to choose between them and the H.R.A., but as the ranges increase.the I.H.A. groups apace mo^ee-and the number of unaccountables is very materially less. Both of your criticisms are perfectly correct. The feed from the magazine in the Model 1919 really ought to be perfect. There is no excuse in an action of this exceedingly simple construction for any malfunction in feeding, but the use of a detachable box magazine seams to be absolutely necessary in order to parallel as far as possible with the .22 rim-fire cartridges with the multiple loading of the military rifle. Consequently, we are confined to magazines of the general type of the Lee and the present one is the most successful that we have been able to work out. It should be reliable in feeding, but is liable to deforma tion more easily than it should be and when a magazine gets out of shape it will cause failures to feed. Also, the question of carrying a box magazine, in which outside lubricated bullets are used,is not especially convenient or satisfactory, but we do not
