Captions paid for by
Discovery communications
3
00:00:52,965 --> 00:00:54,655
Narrator: in the late 1800s,
4
00:00:54,655 --> 00:00:56,068
The american military
5
00:00:56,068 --> 00:01:01,206
Tried modifying bicycles to help
Infantrymen cross rough terrain.
6
00:01:01,206 --> 00:01:03,482
Cyclists
Continued experimenting,
7
00:01:03,482 --> 00:01:07,344
And the first mountain bike
Was created in 1978.
8
00:01:07,344 --> 00:01:11,068
The popularity of mountain
Biking has grown ever since.
9
00:01:13,689 --> 00:01:15,793
Mountain bikes
Are specially designed
10
00:01:15,793 --> 00:01:17,862
To perform on rough terrain.
11
00:01:17,862 --> 00:01:19,862
They have a suspension
To help keep the wheels
12
00:01:19,862 --> 00:01:21,689
In contact with the ground,
13
00:01:21,689 --> 00:01:24,172
Deep-treaded tires
For added traction,
14
00:01:24,172 --> 00:01:27,379
And powerful disc brakes
For safety.
15
00:01:27,379 --> 00:01:31,103
At the core of a mountain bike
Is the small, robust frame.
16
00:01:31,103 --> 00:01:34,758
It needs to be lightweight
Yet highly durable.
17
00:01:34,758 --> 00:01:38,241
The factory uses a test bench
To simulate the effects
18
00:01:38,241 --> 00:01:41,758
Of repeated impacts and
Vibration on the bike frame.
19
00:01:41,758 --> 00:01:43,000
Three days of testing
20
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,172
Can simulate 10 years
Of intensive use.
21
00:01:47,172 --> 00:01:50,448
The frame is made
From tubes of aluminum alloy.
22
00:01:50,448 --> 00:01:54,344
Aluminum is lighter than steel
And cheaper than carbon fiber,
23
00:01:54,344 --> 00:01:58,413
And it won't burst like carbon
In case of a large impact.
24
00:01:58,413 --> 00:02:02,068
They cut each tube
To the required length.
25
00:02:02,068 --> 00:02:04,724
They use jigs
To get consistent dimensions
26
00:02:04,724 --> 00:02:06,724
And precise cutting angles.
27
00:02:06,724 --> 00:02:10,172
This will be extremely important
When they assemble the frame.
28
00:02:13,448 --> 00:02:18,275
Each model and size of frame
Has its own welding jig.
29
00:02:18,275 --> 00:02:21,379
They start tack-welding
The tubes in place.
30
00:02:21,379 --> 00:02:24,137
Then they proceed
With the final welding.
31
00:02:24,137 --> 00:02:27,862
It's a delicate step
Because the tubes are very thin.
32
00:02:29,413 --> 00:02:30,689
After welding,
33
00:02:30,689 --> 00:02:33,413
The aluminum frame
Will undergo a heat treatment.
34
00:02:33,413 --> 00:02:36,068
First, the frames
Will be heated intensely,
35
00:02:36,068 --> 00:02:38,689
Then quickly quenched
In a cool bath.
36
00:02:38,689 --> 00:02:41,448
This makes the metal
Easier to work with.
37
00:02:41,448 --> 00:02:44,068
This next step is necessary
38
00:02:44,068 --> 00:02:46,965
Because slight deformations
Are created in the frame
39
00:02:46,965 --> 00:02:48,965
During welding.
40
00:02:48,965 --> 00:02:52,172
Using precise measuring
Instruments and a rubber mallet
41
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:54,137
To avoid denting the metal,
42
00:02:54,137 --> 00:02:57,379
A technician ensures the frame
Is perfectly parallel
43
00:02:57,379 --> 00:02:59,413
To the alignment table.
44
00:02:59,413 --> 00:03:02,172
It's not easy
To align the shorter tubes,
45
00:03:02,172 --> 00:03:05,827
So he uses a longer rod
For this task.
46
00:03:05,827 --> 00:03:07,482
After alignment, the frame
47
00:03:07,482 --> 00:03:10,413
Will be heated one last time
To harden the aluminum.
48
00:03:12,310 --> 00:03:15,344
Once the aluminum exhibits
The right mechanical properties,
49
00:03:15,344 --> 00:03:17,862
It's ready for boring.
50
00:03:17,862 --> 00:03:19,172
This crucial procedure
51
00:03:19,172 --> 00:03:22,103
Makes the inside
Of the hole perfectly straight
52
00:03:22,103 --> 00:03:25,896
And aligned with the frame's
Geometric design.
53
00:03:25,896 --> 00:03:29,103
In the painting department,
They spray auto-grade paint,
54
00:03:29,103 --> 00:03:32,172
Which then dries in an oven
For 20 minutes.
55
00:03:34,241 --> 00:03:36,551
Next they use ink transfer tape
56
00:03:36,551 --> 00:03:39,896
To apply the logo
On the bicycle frame.
57
00:03:39,896 --> 00:03:42,068
After that logo dries
In the oven,
58
00:03:42,068 --> 00:03:44,862
They will finish
With a clear coat of varnish.
59
00:03:44,862 --> 00:03:46,758
Everything must be perfect.
60
00:03:46,758 --> 00:03:49,862
When buying a new bicycle,
Most mountain bikers
61
00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:53,517
Pay very close attention
To the quality of the paint job.
62
00:03:56,344 --> 00:03:59,689
The bicycle is ready
For the final assembly.
63
00:03:59,689 --> 00:04:02,586
The assembler starts
With the rear shock absorber,
64
00:04:02,586 --> 00:04:06,620
Which contains oil to dampen
The suspension movement.
65
00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:08,241
This way, the suspension
66
00:04:08,241 --> 00:04:12,034
Doesn't bounce up and down
Uncontrollably after an impact.
67
00:04:12,034 --> 00:04:15,551
The stiffness of that dampening
Is adjustable by the rider.
68
00:04:15,551 --> 00:04:19,862
The assembler links the shock
Absorber to the seat stay.
69
00:04:21,586 --> 00:04:22,827
He installs the handlebar
70
00:04:22,827 --> 00:04:24,827
And the stem
On the steering column.
71
00:04:27,689 --> 00:04:30,655
Next he installs
The rear brake caliper.
72
00:04:30,655 --> 00:04:33,965
This is a hydraulic brake,
Actioned by brake fluid
73
00:04:33,965 --> 00:04:36,206
That travels
Through a hydraulic hose.
74
00:04:36,206 --> 00:04:38,793
It's positioned on the frame
In such a way
75
00:04:38,793 --> 00:04:41,758
That anchoring clips
Don't restrict its movement.
76
00:04:41,758 --> 00:04:44,620
Now it's time
To install the crankset
77
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:46,827
And the derailleurs.
78
00:04:46,827 --> 00:04:49,206
These are useful
On technical terrain,
79
00:04:49,206 --> 00:04:50,620
Where quick gear changes
80
00:04:50,620 --> 00:04:54,965
Are key to successfully
Maneuvering trail obstacles.
81
00:04:54,965 --> 00:04:57,517
He installs the rear wheel.
82
00:04:57,517 --> 00:05:01,034
It's equipped with 10 cogs
And a disc brake.
83
00:05:01,034 --> 00:05:03,827
Its deep-treaded tire
Will grip the ground
84
00:05:03,827 --> 00:05:06,241
Of treacherous mountain paths.
85
00:05:06,241 --> 00:05:09,000
Now he screws in
The front brake caliper.
86
00:05:12,413 --> 00:05:16,172
It takes about an hour to fully
Assemble the mountain bike.
87
00:05:16,172 --> 00:05:18,965
The fork
Provides the front suspension...
88
00:05:21,379 --> 00:05:24,344
...While the rear suspension
Is connected to the rear wheel
89
00:05:24,344 --> 00:05:26,758
Through a system of pivots
At the back.
90
00:05:26,758 --> 00:05:29,448
As the wheel and pivots
Move back and forth,
91
00:05:29,448 --> 00:05:32,275
Their movement is dampened
By the shock absorber,
92
00:05:32,275 --> 00:05:35,275
Helping to keep the wheel
In contact with the ground.
93
00:05:36,896 --> 00:05:38,620
Mountain bikes are engineered
94
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:41,655
To withstand the demands
Of off-road riding.
95
00:05:41,655 --> 00:05:44,482
Precise manufacturing
And testing
96
00:05:44,482 --> 00:05:47,896
Also ensure that the mountain
Bike will survive years of use
97
00:05:47,896 --> 00:05:49,827
And abuse.
98
00:06:01,517 --> 00:06:02,517
Narrator:
In many parts of the world,
99
00:06:02,517 --> 00:06:04,103
Rice is the main grain.
100
00:06:04,103 --> 00:06:05,896
In fact, it is a food staple
101
00:06:05,896 --> 00:06:08,137
For nearly half
Of the planet's population.
102
00:06:08,137 --> 00:06:09,689
Native to asia,
103
00:06:09,689 --> 00:06:12,620
It has been grown and consumed
For thousands of years.
104
00:06:12,620 --> 00:06:16,172
But today, machines do much
Of the harvesting and processing
105
00:06:16,172 --> 00:06:18,517
In order to feed
The enormous demand.
106
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,965
These perfectly formed
Kernels of rice
107
00:06:23,965 --> 00:06:25,724
Are essentially a crop
108
00:06:25,724 --> 00:06:28,931
That has been allowed
To go to seed.
109
00:06:28,931 --> 00:06:31,482
After about 150 days of growth,
110
00:06:31,482 --> 00:06:34,586
The rice seed
Is ready for harvest.
111
00:06:34,586 --> 00:06:37,000
Machinery strips it
From the stalks
112
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,724
And also suctions out
Some of the empty husks.
113
00:06:42,896 --> 00:06:47,586
Trucks transport the rice
To storage facilities.
114
00:06:47,586 --> 00:06:51,206
They empty it into a grated
Opening at the receiving pit.
115
00:06:51,206 --> 00:06:54,517
The grates filter out some
Of the larger stalks and debris.
116
00:06:59,379 --> 00:07:00,724
From the pit,
117
00:07:00,724 --> 00:07:03,862
A chain conveyor moves the rice
Up to storage silos
118
00:07:03,862 --> 00:07:05,724
And into warehouses.
119
00:07:08,517 --> 00:07:10,551
Inside the storage facilities,
120
00:07:10,551 --> 00:07:13,344
Fans blow air
Through the mountain of rice
121
00:07:13,344 --> 00:07:16,068
To lower the moisture content
Substantially.
122
00:07:18,482 --> 00:07:20,482
With the rice
Sufficiently dried,
123
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:22,931
It's on to the processing plant.
124
00:07:22,931 --> 00:07:25,068
Here, a probe vacuums up samples
125
00:07:25,068 --> 00:07:27,931
From both the front and the back
Of the massive truckload.
126
00:07:30,413 --> 00:07:34,000
The probe delivers the samples
To a lab.
127
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,586
A technician first
Tests the moisture content
128
00:07:36,586 --> 00:07:39,482
To confirm that it's on target.
129
00:07:39,482 --> 00:07:42,275
He then transfers batches
To a sifting bin
130
00:07:42,275 --> 00:07:45,517
To screen for bugs.
131
00:07:45,517 --> 00:07:48,379
He switches on a heat lamp
To wake them up.
132
00:07:48,379 --> 00:07:51,931
He shakes the rice
And scrutinizes.
133
00:07:51,931 --> 00:07:55,206
He also examines the tray
Underneath for tiny bugs
134
00:07:55,206 --> 00:07:57,551
That may have fallen
Through the holes.
135
00:07:57,551 --> 00:08:00,413
If he finds just one moth
Or beetle,
136
00:08:00,413 --> 00:08:05,034
The entire 5,500-pound truckload
Of rice will be rejected.
137
00:08:06,724 --> 00:08:09,482
Next the rice falls through
Perforations
138
00:08:09,482 --> 00:08:11,034
In rolling cylinders,
139
00:08:11,034 --> 00:08:14,275
Screening out the straw
Which spills over the side.
140
00:08:14,275 --> 00:08:17,965
The next machine sifts
Out the remaining straw bits
141
00:08:17,965 --> 00:08:20,000
And any weed seed.
142
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,827
It also suctions out
Empty rice husks.
143
00:08:22,827 --> 00:08:27,103
They're lightweight and
Pulled out with a weak vacuum.
144
00:08:27,103 --> 00:08:29,931
Finally, they remove mud balls.
145
00:08:31,551 --> 00:08:33,000
Free of contaminants,
146
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,931
The rice now spills
Between two rubber rollers,
147
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,758
One moving
Faster than the other.
148
00:08:38,758 --> 00:08:41,068
This shears off the husks.
149
00:08:42,517 --> 00:08:46,896
The rice and empty husks then
Cascade into another machine.
150
00:08:46,896 --> 00:08:50,413
This is a demo version
Of the actual production one.
151
00:08:52,482 --> 00:08:54,827
Weak suctioning
Pulls out the husks
152
00:08:54,827 --> 00:08:57,482
To separate them
From the heavier rice.
153
00:09:04,862 --> 00:09:07,862
The dehusking process
Misses a few kernels,
154
00:09:07,862 --> 00:09:11,965
So next giant sifting machines
Screen out that rice.
155
00:09:11,965 --> 00:09:13,310
Still in husks,
156
00:09:13,310 --> 00:09:15,482
It's bigger and doesn't pass
Through the holes
157
00:09:15,482 --> 00:09:17,551
In the shaking trays.
158
00:09:17,551 --> 00:09:21,068
They dehusk that rice
And mix it with the rest.
159
00:09:25,586 --> 00:09:29,413
Grinding machines now mill
The rice to remove the bran.
160
00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:34,034
The bran spills
Out of perforations
161
00:09:34,034 --> 00:09:36,862
And is recovered
For use in cattle feed.
162
00:09:38,482 --> 00:09:43,586
With the bran removed, the rice
Goes from brown to white.
163
00:09:43,586 --> 00:09:45,931
The final grinding polishes
The rice
164
00:09:45,931 --> 00:09:47,758
To give it a pearly sheen.
165
00:09:50,206 --> 00:09:52,724
This is the unmilled brown rice.
166
00:09:52,724 --> 00:09:56,517
And here it is
With the bran removed.
167
00:09:56,517 --> 00:10:00,517
During milling,
Some rice kernels are damaged.
168
00:10:00,517 --> 00:10:04,275
This spinning, dimpled cylinder
Now separates the broken kernels
169
00:10:04,275 --> 00:10:06,034
From the whole ones.
170
00:10:06,034 --> 00:10:08,344
The broken rice kernels
Fall into the dimples
171
00:10:08,344 --> 00:10:09,551
Of the cylinder,
172
00:10:09,551 --> 00:10:12,862
And from there,
Into an internal catch pan.
173
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:14,931
They'll be used
To make cereal or beer.
174
00:10:17,482 --> 00:10:20,965
The whole rice now
Moves through a color sorter.
175
00:10:20,965 --> 00:10:24,448
Computerized cameras analyze it
For dark imperfections
176
00:10:24,448 --> 00:10:27,896
And signal air nozzles
To blast them out of the mix.
177
00:10:29,413 --> 00:10:33,758
Of course, there's also a market
For unmilled brown rice.
178
00:10:33,758 --> 00:10:35,448
Now ready for packaging,
179
00:10:35,448 --> 00:10:37,827
A scraper
Moves it across a table
180
00:10:37,827 --> 00:10:41,448
And into plastic tubes below.
181
00:10:41,448 --> 00:10:43,931
Hot jaws seal the tubes
At both ends,
182
00:10:43,931 --> 00:10:46,413
And this rice is in the bag.
183
00:10:48,689 --> 00:10:52,241
Brown or white,
Short or medium grain,
184
00:10:52,241 --> 00:10:54,724
There are plenty of options.
185
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:10,689
Narrator:
Different types of rifles
Load the gun in different ways.
186
00:11:10,689 --> 00:11:14,758
A lever-action rifle has,
As the name implies, a lever,
187
00:11:14,758 --> 00:11:17,275
Which you move downwards
To load the ammunition cartridge
188
00:11:17,275 --> 00:11:19,793
Into the gun's chamber.
189
00:11:19,793 --> 00:11:21,551
When you pull the lever back up,
190
00:11:21,551 --> 00:11:26,620
It cocks the hammer
And the gun is ready to fire.
191
00:11:26,620 --> 00:11:28,793
This italian company
192
00:11:28,793 --> 00:11:32,310
Makes exact reproductions
Of the renowned winchesters
193
00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:36,931
Produced in the u.S.
Starting in 1866.
194
00:11:36,931 --> 00:11:40,379
These lever-actions
Were a game-changer in that era,
195
00:11:40,379 --> 00:11:42,862
Because you no longer
Had to reload your rifle
196
00:11:42,862 --> 00:11:46,586
One cartridge at a time.
197
00:11:46,586 --> 00:11:48,034
To make the barrel,
198
00:11:48,034 --> 00:11:50,689
The long tube through which
The ammunition shoots,
199
00:11:50,689 --> 00:11:53,310
The factory starts
With a bar of solid steel
200
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:56,551
That's one inch in diameter.
201
00:11:56,551 --> 00:11:58,551
A computer-guided circular saw
202
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:00,896
Slices it
Into barrel-length pieces.
203
00:12:06,586 --> 00:12:08,655
Next a computer-guided drill
204
00:12:08,655 --> 00:12:11,862
Bores through the center
Of each barrel-length bar.
205
00:12:13,758 --> 00:12:16,379
The drill is fluted,
Which provides a channel
206
00:12:16,379 --> 00:12:19,586
For a continuous high-pressure
Flow of cutting oil.
207
00:12:19,586 --> 00:12:22,965
This breaks down the metal
Shavings as the drill advances
208
00:12:22,965 --> 00:12:25,034
From one end
Of the bar to the other
209
00:12:25,034 --> 00:12:27,206
Over the course of five minutes.
210
00:12:29,620 --> 00:12:33,758
A reamer gradually widens the
Bore to the required diameter.
211
00:12:33,758 --> 00:12:36,241
This takes 15 minutes.
212
00:12:36,241 --> 00:12:37,655
The diameter of the barrel
213
00:12:37,655 --> 00:12:40,448
Is what determines
A firearm's caliber.
214
00:12:45,413 --> 00:12:48,931
A rifle gets its name
From the next operation.
215
00:12:48,931 --> 00:12:52,137
This specialized tool
Rifles the barrel,
216
00:12:52,137 --> 00:12:54,965
Meaning it carves
Spiraled grooves
217
00:12:54,965 --> 00:12:57,827
Into the barrel bore's
Smooth walls.
218
00:12:57,827 --> 00:12:59,724
This process takes twice as long
219
00:12:59,724 --> 00:13:02,793
As drilling
And reaming combined.
220
00:13:02,793 --> 00:13:05,931
The grooves in the barrel put
A spin on the cartridge's bullet
221
00:13:05,931 --> 00:13:07,931
As it exits the gun.
222
00:13:07,931 --> 00:13:10,034
Like the perfect pass
Of a football,
223
00:13:10,034 --> 00:13:12,517
This spin stabilizes the bullet,
224
00:13:12,517 --> 00:13:14,965
Rendering it more aerodynamic.
225
00:13:14,965 --> 00:13:18,620
That makes the shot more
Accurate over a long distance.
226
00:13:20,103 --> 00:13:23,103
The next machine mills
The outside of the barrel.
227
00:13:23,103 --> 00:13:26,000
This particular model
Has an octagonal barrel,
228
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,344
So the machine mills
Eight sides.
229
00:13:30,586 --> 00:13:33,413
Another machine then
Makes threads on the back end
230
00:13:33,413 --> 00:13:36,068
So the barrel can later screw
Into the adjacent part
231
00:13:36,068 --> 00:13:37,241
Of the rifle.
232
00:13:40,551 --> 00:13:44,655
A local foundry, meanwhile,
Forges the rifle's lever.
233
00:13:44,655 --> 00:13:49,724
Workers feed solid steel bars
Into a small furnace.
234
00:13:49,724 --> 00:13:51,517
The furnace temperature,
235
00:13:51,517 --> 00:13:54,206
A blazing 2,200 degrees
Fahrenheit,
236
00:13:54,206 --> 00:13:57,206
Softens the steel
In a matter of seconds.
237
00:13:57,206 --> 00:14:00,000
While the bar is still red-hot,
238
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,482
They place it in a die and stamp
It with a press to bend it.
239
00:14:12,655 --> 00:14:15,379
Then two more pressings
In a different die
240
00:14:15,379 --> 00:14:18,965
Form the bent bar into
The basic shape of the lever.
241
00:14:24,586 --> 00:14:25,931
A fourth pressing,
242
00:14:25,931 --> 00:14:28,172
Against a razor-sharp die
This time,
243
00:14:28,172 --> 00:14:30,000
Trims the perimeter.
244
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:39,137
The roughly shaped lever
245
00:14:39,137 --> 00:14:43,689
Is now ready for machining
In the rifle factory.
246
00:14:43,689 --> 00:14:47,482
There, a computer-guided mill
Works at it for eight minutes.
247
00:14:47,482 --> 00:14:50,896
It meticulously shaves off
Bits of steel
248
00:14:50,896 --> 00:14:53,551
Until the lever's shape
Is perfected.
249
00:15:02,724 --> 00:15:06,379
The mechanical section of
The rifle is called the action.
250
00:15:06,379 --> 00:15:10,103
Like the lever,
It's forged out of a steel bar.
251
00:15:10,103 --> 00:15:12,310
Then, over the course
Of an hour,
252
00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:14,413
It's machined to specifications
253
00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:17,551
By 100 different
Computer-guided tools.
254
00:15:21,965 --> 00:15:24,000
This operation
Not only finalizes
255
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,275
The action's external shape,
256
00:15:26,275 --> 00:15:29,965
It also hollows out areas
For the internal components,
257
00:15:29,965 --> 00:15:32,379
Namely the rifle's
Lever-activated loading
258
00:15:32,379 --> 00:15:35,655
And firing mechanism.
259
00:15:35,655 --> 00:15:37,862
But before that assembly
Happens,
260
00:15:37,862 --> 00:15:41,620
The action takes a side trip
To a metal treatment plant
261
00:15:41,620 --> 00:15:44,793
Where it undergoes
A two-step process.
262
00:15:44,793 --> 00:15:48,482
First it's submerged for three
Minutes in a hot-water bath
263
00:15:48,482 --> 00:15:51,724
With special salts
Which harden the steel.
264
00:15:51,724 --> 00:15:54,137
Then a quick dip
In a second bath,
265
00:15:54,137 --> 00:15:59,379
Where a coloring chemical gives
The steel an antique finish.
266
00:15:59,379 --> 00:16:02,172
The action now returns
To the gun factory
267
00:16:02,172 --> 00:16:04,862
To rejoin the rifle's
Other components.
268
00:16:16,206 --> 00:16:18,034
Narrator: the action is
The middle section of the rifle.
269
00:16:18,034 --> 00:16:20,206
The barrel screws
Onto the front of it,
270
00:16:20,206 --> 00:16:23,103
While the gun's wooden handle
Attaches to the back of it.
271
00:16:23,103 --> 00:16:26,551
When you pull the trigger,
The hammer hits the firing pin.
272
00:16:26,551 --> 00:16:27,965
This strikes the cartridge,
273
00:16:27,965 --> 00:16:30,586
Igniting
The explosive primer inside.
274
00:16:30,586 --> 00:16:35,517
The blast propels the bullet
Out of the barrel of the gun.
275
00:16:35,517 --> 00:16:38,034
To assemble
The rifle's firing mechanism,
276
00:16:38,034 --> 00:16:41,620
Workers first attach the trigger
And the hammer spring
277
00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:44,413
To a larger component
Called the trigger guard.
278
00:16:44,413 --> 00:16:48,206
Then they connect the hammer
Itself with a tight-fitting pin.
279
00:16:48,206 --> 00:16:50,482
The hammer spring
Provides resistance,
280
00:16:50,482 --> 00:16:53,931
Allowing the hammer to hit
The firing pin hard enough
281
00:16:53,931 --> 00:16:56,517
To fire the cartridge
After it's cocked.
282
00:16:56,517 --> 00:16:58,551
Taking the action,
283
00:16:58,551 --> 00:17:02,482
They insert the bolt
Containing the firing pin,
284
00:17:02,482 --> 00:17:05,448
Then the firing pin extension.
285
00:17:05,448 --> 00:17:08,448
This wedge piece links
Those two components.
286
00:17:13,413 --> 00:17:16,172
They insert the trigger guard
Into the action,
287
00:17:16,172 --> 00:17:18,137
Coaxing it
Into the correct position
288
00:17:18,137 --> 00:17:21,413
With a few taps of a mallet.
289
00:17:21,413 --> 00:17:24,448
They attach the lever
Underneath the trigger guard.
290
00:17:27,344 --> 00:17:29,655
They mount a spring
On each side of the lever
291
00:17:29,655 --> 00:17:31,137
To put tension on it.
292
00:17:35,379 --> 00:17:38,862
Then finally, they connect the
Lever to the firing mechanism
293
00:17:38,862 --> 00:17:41,034
With two sets of links.
294
00:17:41,034 --> 00:17:43,896
To cock the hammer and prepare
To pull the trigger to fire,
295
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:47,241
You pull down the lever,
Then pull it back up.
296
00:17:47,241 --> 00:17:50,655
After firing, you move the lever
Up and down again
297
00:17:50,655 --> 00:17:52,413
To eject the spent cartridge
298
00:17:52,413 --> 00:17:56,344
And reload and cock
For the next shot.
299
00:17:56,344 --> 00:17:57,896
They finish assembling
The action
300
00:17:57,896 --> 00:18:00,172
By attaching side plates,
301
00:18:00,172 --> 00:18:01,965
One of which
Has a side-loading gate
302
00:18:01,965 --> 00:18:04,379
For inserting the cartridges.
303
00:18:04,379 --> 00:18:06,827
The action
Has two threaded holes --
304
00:18:06,827 --> 00:18:11,034
One for attaching the magazine
To that holds the cartridges
305
00:18:11,034 --> 00:18:13,448
And the other
For attaching the barrel.
306
00:18:13,448 --> 00:18:16,448
Its threaded end
Requires some top filing
307
00:18:16,448 --> 00:18:19,103
In order to meet the various
Strict specifications
308
00:18:19,103 --> 00:18:21,137
Set out by the proofhouse.
309
00:18:21,137 --> 00:18:24,793
The proofhouse is responsible
For ensuring that firearms
310
00:18:24,793 --> 00:18:28,000
Conform to
All manufacturing regulations.
311
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
To attach the barrel
To the action,
312
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,275
They lock the barrel in a vise,
313
00:18:32,275 --> 00:18:34,931
Then screw the action
On to the threaded end.
314
00:18:37,413 --> 00:18:39,620
They use various tools
And gauges
315
00:18:39,620 --> 00:18:42,862
To ensure the two parts
Are perfectly aligned
316
00:18:42,862 --> 00:18:45,689
And that the lever closes
Completely when pulled up.
317
00:18:48,758 --> 00:18:51,310
Next they insert what's called
A check cartridge
318
00:18:51,310 --> 00:18:54,689
Of the appropriate caliber
Into the chamber.
319
00:18:54,689 --> 00:18:56,551
This checks the internal spacing
320
00:18:56,551 --> 00:19:02,000
To ensure the ammunition feeds
Correctly and fires safely.
321
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,758
Then they mount
A temporary stock
322
00:19:03,758 --> 00:19:05,517
On the other end of the action
323
00:19:05,517 --> 00:19:07,413
And send the rifle
To the proofhouse
324
00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:10,482
For performance
And safety testing.
325
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:13,896
There, technicians
Place it in an enclosed chamber,
326
00:19:13,896 --> 00:19:17,758
Load ammunition,
And fire twice.
327
00:19:25,206 --> 00:19:27,413
The proofhouse
Hand-punches markings
328
00:19:27,413 --> 00:19:30,379
Onto the bottom of the rifle.
329
00:19:30,379 --> 00:19:34,586
These markings, recognized by
The european economic community,
330
00:19:34,586 --> 00:19:36,000
Officially certify
331
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
That the firearm
Functions properly and safely.
332
00:19:44,344 --> 00:19:47,206
The gun factory contracts
A woodworking company
333
00:19:47,206 --> 00:19:50,344
To produce the rifle's stock.
334
00:19:50,344 --> 00:19:53,448
It's made from a block
Of walnut.
335
00:19:53,448 --> 00:19:56,344
First workers trace a template
336
00:19:56,344 --> 00:19:58,758
That's in the basic shape
Of the stock.
337
00:20:03,379 --> 00:20:05,413
They saw along the trace line.
338
00:20:14,448 --> 00:20:16,275
This gives them a starting form,
339
00:20:16,275 --> 00:20:18,724
Which computer-guided machines
Then refine.
340
00:20:21,413 --> 00:20:24,482
A mill progressively
Carves the detailed profile
341
00:20:24,482 --> 00:20:26,862
With a series
Of different tools.
342
00:20:30,413 --> 00:20:32,896
Then they mount the stock
On a lathe,
343
00:20:32,896 --> 00:20:34,620
Which rotates it
Against a sander
344
00:20:34,620 --> 00:20:37,655
To smooth the surface
And perfect the shape.
345
00:20:41,206 --> 00:20:43,896
The stock has two holes
In the back
346
00:20:43,896 --> 00:20:46,965
To which they attach
An endpiece.
347
00:20:46,965 --> 00:20:50,620
The woodshop stains
And varnishes the finished stock
348
00:20:50,620 --> 00:20:52,586
And sends it to the gun factory,
