    FN Mfg. Tour

    Making of FN M16. I don't know if this is a dupe, searching found no results.

    Very nice. I never realized companies did that much QC checking! Good to know!

        Yeah, I think the tight QC is why Colt and FN are considered Tier 1 AR-15 manufacturers and everyone else is tier 2 at best.

          I loved the "if the barrel isn't straight, she bends it a little until it is" part.
          I hate people that are full of hate.

            The bending will actually make the barrel stronger and more resistant to bending. Its a process known as strain hardening.

              It would be nice to get my hands on a semi-auto FN lower!

                  Not wanting to threadjack (much), but there's a german video regarding H&K manufacturing and quality control too.



                  Probably a dupe, but whatever. They also do very thorough quality control of their weapons. Personally, I'd be disappointed if either of these companies didn't commit so much time to QC.
