The Overall Process of REVOLBER
1. Forging - This is used to make the majority of iron and steel parts.
2. Casting - This process is often used to make small parts, especially those of complicated shapes.
3. Machining - This is a process that uses machine tools to finish parts that were made using forging
and casting processes. Rifling is also made by machining processes.
4. Stamping - This is a more modern technology and is used to make parts out of sheet metal, e.g.
trigger guards, parts of sights etc.
5. Woodworking - Used to shape stocks for firearms from raw wooden blanks. In modern days, stocks
are also built of other materials, so this is no longer as important as some of the other processes
above.
6. Metal treatments - There are many types of metal treatments. Applying protective coatings to
various components, rust proofing, heat treatment hardening of certain components etc. all fall
under this category.
7. Assembly - Taking all the components and putting them together to build the firearm
8. Testing - All reputable manufacturers perform testing of their products to make sure that they are
reliable and can withstand normal usage. In some countries, proof testing is mandatory by law
