A Tour of Chapuis Armes: Home of the MR-73 Revolver

http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons https://www.floatplane.com/channel/ForgottenWeapons/home Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.forgottenweapons.com With the MR-73 revolvers finally becoming regularly available in the US, I figured it would be really interesting to see how they are made! So, I headed over to Chapuis Armes, where the Directeur Général, Vincent Chapuis, gave me a really nice tour. Want to see? Let's go in... Contact: Forgotten Weapons 6281 N.

Thank the Director-General for this tour. I teach at a Professional Hunting School in South Africa (ZA - Zud Afrika). I am often asked about what rifles to buy (as well as in what calibers) and always answer.... 'Any 98 Mauser or its clone.' (like a Win Model 70). I will now take a close look at Chapuis, and I will consider recommending his products (especially the .375 revolver for high end clients who want a concealable backup firearm - for the local very dangerous 2 and 4 legged dangerous adversaries).

It is also very helpful to know how to pronounce Chapuis, thanks!

Could I get a "factory second"? The amount of hand labor/fitting, no matter the CDC work, is stupendous.

I don't say this very often but I was fascinated by this video.

Oh no! Ian forced to tour a French gun maker of high end guns. I imagine that the factory had to firmly encourage him to leave at the end of the day.

Many decades ago, I had a tour of the Smith & Wesson factory and was privileged to see the entire process starting with the forging of the frames and everything else that you showed. The forging process is amazing. It starts with a block of molten steel on the end of a long pole. The operator puts it onto 2 separate plates and the hammer part of the forge gives it two tremendous strikes (tons of force) that it shakes you in your shoes. I forget exactly, but I think that it went through 2 more molds that further refine the shape. Then the crude forging gets cut from the pole and then starts the machining process to remove the flashing and so on. I also toured the Dan Wesson factory and they use a cheaper Investment Casting rather than Hammer Forging. Both were very cool to see.

Did you get the chance to make a video on Chapuis‘ ROLS straight pull rifle? It seems similar to a Blaser but I’m not sure if it locks in the same way.

This an excellent video. Very good production values, clear bright picture and good sound. The company could hire Ian to make commercials :) Thanks.

Love this content. Reminds me of an ancient video detailing the (pre-kanban production line) hand-fit and hand-assembly of Porsche 356s. https://youtu.be/tbFu1r_erw0 Definitely want more factory tours, though I know from my firearm production employment that it’s pretty confidential.

The tour video will serve as the best commercial they could have hoped for. I'm not a big handgun guy (let alone a revolver guy), but now I want one of these!
