Could you explain this in more  detail?  

Harper's Ferry didn't make "production" pieces?  So  a gun wasn't able to 
shoot a projectile from the ones at Harpers Ferry?   

What is meant by "model" pieces?  Did they have to be shipped to  another 
location then for completion (which I assume is then  Springfield)?

Thanks,

Harpers Ferry only made the pattern or "model"  pieces.  It didn't make any 
production pieces.  Manufacture was at  Springfield, with some limited 
contract production by D. Nippes, and L.  Pomeroy.
