Line bored cylinders

On another forum someone was talking about an El Patron single action that was a competition model. Actually it was a little confusing because he also referenced USFA. He was saying that the cylinder was line bored but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be the case with an Uberti. 

Were the american made USFAs line bored?  I have an early Rodeo that has an Uberti frame and hammer but what about the later guns with all U.S. parts? I believe the Freedom Arms guns are line bored but not sure about any others, other then custom made cylinders. Just curious, thanks.

Yes on FAs.  Like you, thinking some of USFA were also.

Thanks Billy. I've seen a lot of discussions about USFA guns but never thought of or heard of them being line bored. Or Colt SAA for that matter. Most of the line bored guns I've seen info about are custom made cylinders. The other discussion just got me wondering. I would think if USFA line bored their revolvers it would be a prominent part of their advertising at the time.
