Alpo Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Have not watched the video yet, but just looking at the picture, I'm pretty dang sure that's an 1866, not an 1873. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Did anyone notice that they NEVER show the gorilla that installs the mag tube cap? Interesting video though, thanks Buckshot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 No wonder the 1873's cost so much. That's a lot of fancy machining going on. If it weren't for the Italian clones, I think a lot of us would be doing something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting video though, thanks Buckshot! And over torque all of those soft factory screws. On the other hand, Guido the Gorilla may have been covering the SAA clone assembly line at the moment of filming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 BB, thanks for the post. Very interesting to watch, especially the amount of CNC work (and programming) involved. Added the URL to my library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Devil Dale Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Nice video. They skipped the forearm milling operations, which are eccentric and therefore MUCH harder to machine than the buttstock. And the color case hardening process wasn't what I expected, But still interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 The steps involved are exactly the same for the 1866 and 1876 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
