Some data points and a question.................
I've seen the chrome barrel hubs (1st generation?) both pressed and threaded (generation 1.2?)
Were the 2nd generation barrels stainless or nickel plated? I've been told both and would love an authoritative source to chime in.
Bullseye hasn't changed their product line since the '70s, but I'm not sure what or how much is in production. When last I spoke with them they were churning through a warehouse full of existing inventory.
