Abstract:In small arms manufacturing the lock dimensional chain final link precision is secured with manual file fitting and removing the tolerance intentionally left on the recoil lugs. The manual process reduces the contact stiffness of the lock components, and the final link dimension (between the cylindrical gauge end that simulates a cartridge, and the breeching lock face) set during the assembly is distorted when the breech lock components are exposed to shot impact loads. For this reason, the cylindrical cartrid… Show more
