Fabryka Broni "Łucznik" – Radom Factory Tour (ad-free)
🕑 Added 2023-06-23 12:00:02 +0000 UTCFabryka Broni originally dates to 1925, when it was set up as a factory to make small arms for the Polish military. It was occupied be German forces during World War Two and on the post-war Communist years it was designated Factory 11 - it's products are identified by an oval around the number 11. It reverted to a state-owned metalworks company in 1990, but went bankrupt in 2000 and was taken over by a private concern. It is currently under private ownership and produces the MSBS Grot for the Polish military (and export sales), as well as Beryl rifles, various handguns, and other small arms. When I visited Poland I had the chance to visit, and the factory was happy to let me film a tour of the operation. This is a really cool look at how small arms factories operate; most such factories do not allow this sort of filming. Thanks to FB for the opportunity!

A rare visit, this kind of industry is very secretive, especially the chrome plating of the barrel bore is a trick that many factories don't get right. That stock of old jigs and tools may be worth of gold some time, if the new CNC systems get hacked through the net.

The blend of old school and high tech in the same factory is very satisfying.

Just got done working on my Mini_Beryl A great gun. I also used one of their hammer forged barrels for a Russian TULA AK parts kit. They are top-tier AK parts and guns.
