It seems that as often as not the barrel weight numbers got polished off during fitting and finishing. That is another reason Headrick and I feel they applied to the rough pairs of tubes from the tube suppliers.

I would take a guess that more smallbore Foxes were barreled in #3 weight barrels than any other. At least that is what i have seen the most.If they were building a gun without specific weight wanted.I have never seen a set of Krupp barrels with weight stamps. Bobby
