Re: what is this?
Before the Czarist Government fell in Russia, the A.H. Fox Gun Co. was building magazines for the Russian Mosin Nagant rifles. Information is in the book, Munitions Manufacture in the Philadelphia Ordnance District, by William Bradford Williams, 1921.

Re: what is this?
@researcher - That's good stuff! I did see that they did something for the springfield armory too- I guess the armory either had their own barrel browning procedure which Fox was required to employ or Fox concocted a special browning formula specific to the armory. The specifics are noted in the contents of an envelope found with the other stain/mercury doping and browning recipes. Thanks for the info.
