How Indian flintlocks are made

bornintheussr · Aug 5, 2024

Was googling "udaipur r.g.m.co" because that's what's stamped on the barrel of my musket and came across Facebook page of the manufacturer. From what I understand they supply guns to Veteran Arms, Access Heritage etc. There's few videos and very typical India sweatshop pics. Entertain yourself ...

One thing I've noticed about Indian manufacturing is that they often use their bare feet to hold parts etc. This also extends to cooking street food.

Tell me how different that is from a smith's shop 250 years ago, or even most today?

They make a fairly nice product given their workspace. I’ll take those hard working folks over the non-working ones we have here. All day long.

Never tried holding parts with my feet...may have to give it a try.

Step back in time and see how things were done in the days of old. Not that it’s a bad thing at all. I totally respect these guys and their work!

They are just building them HC like alot of folks on here want. Ya can't get much more HC than that.

These men are working to support and supply their lives. They are not trying to live off the Government I salute them for being good men

Doesn't give me the warm fuzzies seeing their dirt floor production shop. OSHA would have a field day if they operated that way here. I've seen other videos how they reclaim metal from all kinds of sources, most of which is inferior to anything produced here or elsewhere.

I agree 100% with jd945043, but I wouldn't want to shoot one of their guns. Guess I missed pics of the QC and proofing departments.

Fun to see! Wow! The China shops that make the swords are similar; no OSHA, sandals, no goggles, etc. amazing. Thanks.
