[@vincentlok8894]

Imagine if the original designer in the 1800s could see that 150 years later his rifle was still being made and sold, and made with such wonderous machines!

It's amazing to see how much the machines actually do for a firearm that still looks handmade...also humbling to think that at one point, this firearm was primarily made by hand!

[@grinchyface]

oh no the lever action was never hand made. It was hand finished, but industrial machines and patterns did the vast majority of the rough work. They were just powered by steam and patterns instead of electricity and NC programs. Part of the reason why these guns are hand fitted still is because they weren't exactly designed for automated manufacturing. They require the hand fitting process to be safe and frankly to function properly, unlike the most modern designs that are meant to basically come out of the machine, undergo coating, and then relatively unskilled assembly to be ready. There's beauty in both of the approaches for sure, but I am personally a bigger fan of the modern :D

[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

The lever action isn't obsolete, it's role is just more specialised. It's essentially a completely mechanical semi-automatic, meaning you can change around the cartridges(provided they are the same diameter) with little worry of if the blowback operation is actually going to function. They're usually faster to cycle than a bolt action, even if they're slower than most semi-autos. They're comparatively simple to repair, to the point where someone who has no experience with gunsmithing could repair one in a pinch. Unlike a blowback operation firearm, their action is near silent, meaning a suppressor and a subsonic cartridge can make it rather stealthy in most circumstances, and almost inaudible under the right circumstances. As stated before, they're not obsolete, merely more specialist and often overlooked.

[@jhorn64]

As a gun nut I find that era of firearm design to be fascinating as the jump was rapidly made from muzzle loaders to self contained cartridge breech loaders to lever action to bolt action all within the span of a few decades, everyone was trying to one up each other to make a more efficient and effective rifle

I believe it was 2006 that the last of the winchester model 1894 lever actions was made up north. I ordered one from my local gun store. It is a beautiful Trailsend edition. Octagon barrel, crescent 🌙 butt stock, case hardened fixtures. When the rifle arrived, my local dealer said if he hadn't already quoted me a price of 600 dollars, he would have doubled it because a few weeks before it arrived the last ones made by Winchester in the USA was finished. They are made in Japan now. I don't know if the trailsend is even made at all. I have never fired it for all intents and purposes it's brand new.

I worked for a major gun manufacturer making gun barrels. I wish they had the tools this company did. Loading those steels bars by hand sucked. That said, I think the process was way faster than shown here.

[@alexejvecera6317]

I think they slowed it down to let us see how it's done

[@spazmaticaa7989]

@@alexejvecera6317 I really don't think they did. It seemed like a reasonable speed, but where I worked I think it was faster. Then again, this manufacturer is doing multiple barrels at the same time. Where I worked they drilled 4+ barrels at the same time, then machined them to be placed on an auto forge where the rifling was cut, and the barrels final diameter was set before being cut and shipped to another building for finishing and assembly. The method used in this video I think would be slower for individual barrels because they have to force a cutting tool through a tight hole, vs. pressing down and pulling the cutting tool at the same time. Edit: it had been a while since I saw the video, and got the rifling section very wrong. They don't use the same machine for rifling as drilling.

[@loquat44-40]

By the standards of a mass manufacturing like ruger, some of it is a little antiquated, but still very good and maybe even a superior gun is made by the older methodology. Modern barrels are often hammer forged and ruger uses advanced casting techniques for the receiver-action and maybe the lever. A lot of MIM is used for the smaller parts. ''Metal injection molding (MIM) is a metalworking process in which finely-powdered metal is mixed with binder material to create a feedstock. The feedstock is then solidified and shaped to produce the final product. ''

The flute on the gun drill is not there to deliver “high pressure oil,” it's there to remove the chips. The oil is fed through tiny passages running through the drill's body, where it emerges at the tip via small round holes. The oil does not break down the metal shavings, that is in the design of the drill's tip. The bore reamers oil themselves in the same manner. The spin of a bullet does not make it more aerodynamic. That is due to the shape of the bullet, itself. The spin “improves the stability of the projectile, improving both range and accuracy.” (Wiki on rifling) What you show, as an action, is called the frame. The action consists of the frame with all its internal components. The “action” does not take a trip to a “metal treatment plant.” The frame is sent to a heat treatment plant, where it's case-hardened in this instance. The bath is not a “hot water bath,” it's molten salts. It is quenched in water after heating in the salts. I'm going to stop here, as you really do need to hire someone with technical knowledge before making these videos.
