Interesting video on making ammo in a third world country

[cavedweller60]

I thought some folks here would find this interesting. Can anyone explain what they are doing during the priming phase starting at around the 12:10 mark? The charging portion directly following that is interesting as well....no need for an Ingenuity trickler here.

Just a guess but it looks like he's dropping in a small bit of metal to serve, I think, as the primer's anvil. Maybe Berdan primers in a non-Berdan case?

The first thing that popped into my mind was a berdan type priming system. Obviously the primer pocket is different but it could definitely be an anvil.

i like the charging method to. wonder what powder that is.

I like how everyone has his own unique toe, foot, knee, hip action running the machines while sitting on

now i know what to do with that mess when i forget to close the gate on the powder measure. hahahaha.

take a good look at the labels on those boxes and steer clear of those brands!!!!! hahahahaha

 

[Fuj]

I seen that video, and wonder how many fingers are swept up at the
end of the day. As a Tool maker, the bulk of my money was made
working around punch presses. I see a lot of stupid sh!t going on.....

What country is this operation in?

 

[cavedweller60]

What country is this operation in?

I would guess Pakistan or Afghanistan.

 

[Bob3700]

Making ammo to be used against?

 

[Kracken McGraw]

I hope my 9mm CCI Blazer Brass ammo is not made like that.

 

[AccelR8]

What country is this operation in?

The white box says "made in..." but I can't read the country on this tiny screen. Looks to me like it says Serbia but I know that's not right.

 

[jackieschmidt]

Probably Pakistan.

You Tube is inundated with Pakistani shops making everything from cast iron crankshafts to fire arms cartridges, and fixing just about anything, with the crudest of tools and procedures.

This is one of my favorites.

I like where they take an engine block that is broken and build a fire around it and cast a new pour onto the existing block to repair the cracked or missing piece. What could possibly go wrong with that?

 

[jxb]

All so they can go out in the square and shoot them up over their heads without a thought about where they might come down.

Or maybe its the priming compound and there assembling the primer???????
looks round and grey. longer than dia.

That's a jaw Crusher for aggregate. The bearings last a very long time. Runs at a slow rpm. At the bottom is what's called "the toggle plate"....it gets the wear and is the safety valve if a peice of steel gets in there.

I've changed a few....

Dave back in my youth, we had a customer called TenTex Alloy. The smelted Silico Manganese and Ferrous Manganese. They had two large rock crushers similar to that. One crushed the ore, the other crushed the finished product into small chunks to ship out.
The oldest one had all Babbit Bearings on about an 12 inch diameter shaft instead of the Roller Bearings. I learned how to pour and scrape in large Babbit Bearings working on that thing.

The two huge flywheels on each side were about 8 feet in diameter. I don’t know what the horsepower of the big electric motor that ran that thing was, but it had about a 5 inch diameter.pulley shaft.

We had a baby jaw Crusher long ago. 18"X24"
When a rock was to big to go through, we talked to it with a sledgehammer until it fit.
When we converted to electric we ran a 50hp on it. Compression crushing takes way less hp than impact crushing.

I have some experience pouring babbitt bearings in the 60's also..On the shafts of the winches for a Sauerman Sand Drag.
