That’s satisfying to watch. It’s like the Swiss just couldn’t help but put this whole project together like they were showing off their manufacturing ability.
I have heard Swiss chauvinists bitterly joke that if Switzerland put as much effort into actual training of soldiers as had been put into the propaganda films showing off the military, they probably could conquer half of Europe. For myself, I just appreciate the wealth of historical sources Switzerland has gifted future generations on just how sophisticated the development and manufacture of modern military arms are and were.
I was given Stgw.57 when i did my militaire basic trainning in 1975. I had it till 1985. It was a very reliable weapon, never had any trouble with it. I could see in this video that you showed the STGW.57 version of the chilean army
Salü Dale. Gratulation zu deinen Beiträgen! Ich bin jeweils sehr angetan von deren Inhalten, dem Informationswert und der Machart, inklusive der Wahl der Musik. Deine Beiträge haben eine sehr hohe Qualität in allen Belangen. Leider erzeugen die Filme auch immer eine Art Herzschmerz und Wehmut, da sie eine vergangene Zeit der kompromisslosen Qualität in der Fertigung unserer Ordonnanzwaffen, der Armee, der Industrie und auch der Schweiz im Allgemeinen zeigen. Mit Jahrgang 71 durfte ich noch das Ende dieser Ära miterleben. Ich hoffe, dass du den Standard deiner Uploads halten kannst, und keine Kompromisse für Klicks u.s.w. eingehst! Mit den besten Grüssen, ein Schweizer Büchsenmacher und ehemaliger Waffenmechaniker.
@@DaletheStgwDude There is any information about the basic tolerance requirement for this barrel, those gages are really make in tight tolerance , looks like .0005"
@@safarisauer3160 The tolerances are tight were they need to be. For example, the depth of the chamber features in relation to the breech face are toleranced 0.1mm. However, they are not in the 0.01mm total tolerance range, that would not be economically feasible. Keep in mind that these gauges were made to allow faster, more repeatable QC for hundreds of thousands of rifles. You can probably find similar gauges for other mass-produced firearms like the AK, or M16A1, etc etc.
This is like watching Dr. Pimple Popper for real men (and Carroteers) :) Sometimes I think the Swiss made the gauges and tools to a higher standard than the rifles (well, I guess that's a given really)

Tools of astonishing quality made in my hometown! Love your content and your passion for our products.

Good eye! The trunnion that was displayed at the museum with the gauge is one from the SG 510-4’s. The inspected dimensions are the same!
@@DaletheStgwDude Stgw. Dude thanks for you reply, I spoke with some chilean friends and they also have a great opinion of the Stgw 57
We don't get to see stuff like this very often. Thank you Dale!
The tools to make firearms are just as fascinating as the firearms themselves. Thanks.
Can’t agree more!!!
Another fantastic Video, THX Dale. Loved the choice of Gerry Mulligan.
Oh yes please. Thank you Dale.
Dale, thanks again for the amazing content, can't wait to see more!

Not the sorta seen often, nice.
The upper receiver is welded sheet metal constuction?
Partially. The center portion is a stamping, with machined steel inserts joined on.

@@DaletheStgwDude Sure, gages are designed for rapid inspection ( No CMM at that time).
Mmmmm, Mulligan,. Welcome to Waffenfabrik Jazz Club....
Niiiiiice.
I just realised I want more testing gauges in my life...
They are essential for ultimate bliss and authentic happiness.
@@DaletheStgwDude yes. YES! The Ultimate ' juuuuust right'. Ah, we can only strive..
I used to use guages used solely as standards to check the working grades.
Otherwise keep them in a drawer.
Thanks for the video.
