Talking Lead goes to Maximus Arms to check out the process of making a 1911 from scratch, and to have some fun:
I like Talking Lead because they don’t take themselves too seriously.
3:20 – MMMMM lost wax casting
5:38 – For a company I’ve never heard of, they sure look like they are doing well in the 1911 game. I find this surprising because I don’t know anyone with a non major brandname 1911.
19:57 – This guy better never show up to work hungover or tired. That day would be his last.
I really had no idea there was such much dirty hands on labor involved in making 1911s.
Thoughts?
Remington had some pretty high tech equiptment back in 1969! I figured a lot more would have been done by hand in the initial stages.
