That was most interesting. The people walking under the suspended 10 ton barrel is interesting also, labor was cheap back then.

The guy standing on top of a ladder in front of a giant crucible of molten steel with nothing more than a metal hook that was melting as he used it to guide the molten steel into the mold.

Wow.

What was that a HK 416 cold hammer forged barrel? :)

I take it they didn’t use any MIM parts on the baby.

I like the PPE everyone wore working around molten steel and showers of splashed steel: shoes. Those were manly men indeed.
