CONTRIBUTORS.France has been one of the major producers of the world s.22s. For some reason France was also a major producer of 6 m/m Flobert cartridges. Perhaps indoor shooting enjoyed a larger degree of use than in the U.S.A. Again, we have a history of mergers which today means fewer manufacturers.
