Some of this I will have to answer when I get into the office later today.
Our rationale for batch vs individual testing is primarily one of cost and loss of productivity. I mentioned in another thread that if we could raise prices something like 3-5% we would be able to cover the cost. It would slow us down considerably, but we could do it.
For now I can also tell you that we buy our barrels from either Wilson or Shaw, depending on the build. We specify what material to use and we have certified Material Data Sheets for each specified steel.
Tomorrow I will let you know the testing results.
Thanks for your interest in CD Defense products,
