1st 1045 steel issued to forge shop on 1/24/42 and barrels started coming thru on 5/1/42, Ser#s at about 960,000

Just another indication that the date of engineering changes and the date of actual production are typically not the same. Here a change order was given in January and didn't show up in the actual barrels until May, four months later.
Ed, excellent information for collectors. Please keep it coming.
