Warden Callaway Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I didn't have the sound on so I don't know the language spoken but really a nice production. And you can see the gorilla that tightens the screws! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rider Rudy Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Did you notice the hand made screwdriver? Looks to be made from a piece of file. Would be nice and hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Very nice video. I liked how he "tuned" the hammer spring - with a hammer in the vice. And seeing the process of making the guns. The music was great as well. But when the lady wash shooting, the pistol was speaking in Italian.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Dull worn files make excellent screwdrivers. Files are often made into awesome bench chisels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc X Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I loved the scenes of the primary machining processes. Could have come from the shop I retired from! I always wondered if cylinders weren't done on a big bore Swiss Style lathe, these are. Perfect way to keep everything in line. Great video, thanks for posting.

So Saith The Rooster There has to be hand finish work. Even with perfect, fresh tooling installed the best CNC out there will still leave burrs and sharp edges. Just look inside a Vaquero LOL ! The advantage Uberti has is their labor costs them a fraction of what Colt or Ruger's does so they can do more by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hey Rooster Lots more hand fitting because the parts don't necessarily fit. Doc X, Best perhaps you do a mite of research. Average wage for manufacturing in Italy is 17.9 Euro. Thats $19.72 this side of the pond. Don't see where Labor Cost in Italy is much if any cheaper than here.

Did you research what Uberti actually pays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew McCrae Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I think my first Sass Pro pistol missed the gorilla with the screw driver. I shot the plunger housing off my pistol with the first box of ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
