Thank you.
I have three questions to be accounted for in any alternative theory:
1. The alternative requires witness marks as an essential element of production. Account for the samples observed without witness marks.
2. The alternative has witness marks struck on barrel and receiver at different times. Account for the observed perfect single-strike witness marks.
3. The barrel-making process has been described by a person who participated in the work. Explain why you discount this person's testimony.
Please, please, find documentation or other contemporary evidence to support your contentions!
