Many thanks for that KG .I've owned a couple of Manlichers that had the hammer forged barrels & never really understood how it was done.

All times wasted wot not spent shootin
The next mystery to solve is why the Roto 1911 hammer forged barrels are so soft and so sentitive to wear. (beware of $60 barrels; they come in 5, 6 and 7" length)
My guess is that they skip the heat treatment needed by a 1911 bbl, I think Para-Ordnance treat theirs to 40-42 Rockwell...
