Except for one or two sophisticated machines, it looks like every October Revolutionary Tractor Factory #47 that you’d see in a war movie. Mad props to the guy sitting in the refrigerator with the rifles as they torture test them. A compare-and-contrast tour of the Colt manufacturing facility for the M4 would be fascinating.
Notes From The Bunker
“That day the plant tested two types of nano-coating” – That I was not expecting to see.
“A barrel is connected with a rod. There are special tools to do this, but some specialists use only a hammer.” – That’s more like it!
“Today their average salary is 16 thousand rubles (530 USD).” – Cripes I hope that’s not annually…
Forgot to add… Very cool article, thank you for the link!
Very interesting essay, thanks.
My favorite: “Collegues are waiting for a verdict heart aflutter.”
Awesome!
For a tour of Colt, see the Combat Tactics Magazine Vol 9, #2, Fall 2011. (Surefire.com)
Mostly it’s from the handgun side, photo-wise. Turns out Colt still has machines from when JMB(!) was working with them, just with different power systems.
