On the same vein Pete, the Vickers Lugers were made from DWM parts left over from WW1. They sold approximately enough parts for 6,000 guns (not 10,000 as I incorrectly remembered). So how many spare parts were sitting around?

I know that in manufacturing waiting on one part to build 1,000 guns is far more costly than to have extra parts in bins laying around.
