Lifetime Production Leaders

[Mike Brooks]

Hershel told me he thought he had made  about 275 rifles , that was in 2021. He said he mostly rifled the barrels until his shop burned .

I have probably seen more than 500. Never saw one that didn't have a commercial barrel on it.

Does anybody know how many Hershal House made during his production yrs. I dont remember ever reading it anywhere

Refer to my post near the beginning of the thread.

On other sites and prior threads, I can recall some listed gun production numbers that were quite impressive from some vintage gun builders.  I seem to remember (maybe R Southgate, C Kemper, and probably others) with some big lifetime numbers, but don’t remember what they were.  Who were/are some of the leaders and numbers for lifetime gun building production that you have heard of?

Uncle Royland serial numbered 1007 guns but he probably built at least another 100 or so that are not listed among those guns . I own a few. Not sure who ownes the book that contains those numbers but I think it is Charlie Haffner Jr as he at one time had most everything from the shop.
