The craft gun is made up of 56 parts and can perform 8 actions:

(1) The bottom fire plate cover can be opened and closed; (2) The rotating head chuck bolt can clamp the flint; (3) The nose can be positioned in the standby and safety position; (4) Use a wrench to rotate the runner shaft to demonstrate the winding action; (5) The ejector lever can be used to push the ejection load; (6) The trigger retainer can be fired by pressing it; (7) The push lever can be withdrawn; (8) The cap of the gunpowder bottle can be opened.

Craftsmanship and steps

The production of the Pocket Craft Gun is carried out in 5 steps:

(1) Formulate processing technology;

(2) Prepare materials according to design and process requirements;

(3) Prepare tools according to the production process;

(4) Handmade;

(5) Assembly and commissioning.

To make this pocket craft gun, the author first worked out a reasonable processing technology. For example, in the production of the runner winding wrench, due to the small size of the workpiece and the cylindrical part of the wrench, the hand twist clamping is used to make it, which is both firm and convenient for rotating the roller file. However, if the material is cut according to the actual size, it must be clamped inverted in the processing, so that it is easy to clamp the surface of the workpiece that has been processed, so the blanking can be slightly longer, and the clamping handle is reserved. In terms of processing difficulty, the difficulty of the square hole is higher than that of the shank. In line with the principle of easy first and then difficult, the handle should be processed first and then the square hole. When processing, the copper rod is first clamped in the hand twist, and leaned against the wooden stake, swinging up and down with a flat file while rotating, rolling the file out of the shank, and then drilling the hole after the head file out the shape of the wrench.

Then use a sharp file to expand into a square hole, and finally cut off the shank for clamping. The method of adopting the reserved clamping handle has greatly facilitated the processing of the workpiece, and the method of holding the workpiece by hand twisting and utilizing the wooden pile to support the workpiece to rotate the roll file is adopted simultaneously, so that the machining accuracy of the rotating surface of the workpiece is guaranteed, and the method of drilling first and then expanding into a square hole makes the processing of the square hole simple and easy. The importance of machining technology can be seen from the machining method of the wrench, and a reasonable process flow can improve the quality of the workpiece and save time.

Next, it is necessary to prepare materials according to the design and process requirements, such as the model and specifications of brass plates, tinplate, steel plates, spring wires, and the variety and color of wood must meet the requirements in order to ensure the quality of parts.

After the raw materials are prepared, tools should be prepared according to the needs of the production process, mainly using 6 types of tools:

Measuring and marking tools - steel plate rulers, calipers, marking needles, sample punches, etc.;

Clamping tools - table vise, flat vise, hand vise, as well as various color pliers, hand twists, etc.;

Cutting tools - guillotines, scissors, carving knives, hacksaws, assorted files, taps, wrenches, electric drills, etc.;

Soldering tools – soldering irons, solder, flux, etc.;

Observation tools – magnifying glasses, microscopes;

Special tools – crank for winding springs, grooved plates and mandrel for rolling barrels, etc.

Directions:

(1) Barrel rolling

First of all, select the tinplate according to the requirements of the drawing, and after marking the line according to the size of the drawing, use the guillotine to cut the material. Then select the appropriate steel wire mandrel and the corresponding grooved plate according to the inner diameter of the barrel, clamp the tinplate between the groove plate and the mandrel bar, and use a wooden hammer to gently hammer it along the axial direction of the mandrel back and forth. Be careful not to use too much force each hammer to avoid hard breaks, and be careful not to scratch the surface of the tinplate. Finally, it is straightened and shaped by hand.

(2) Spring winding

According to the requirements of the drawing, select the steel wire used to make the spring and crank. Clamp the wire in the middle of the cardstock to expose your head, and then clamp it vertically to the table vise with moderate grip force. After clamping the fork at the front end of the crank handle, rotate the crank handle, and wrap the steel wire around the crank handle, and the number of turns wound is more than the number of turns required by the drawing. Because the spring will rebound after relaxing the rocker, the winding spring must be shaped and measured, and the parameters can be used only after the parameters are qualified.

(3) The production of a rotary lighter

Many parts of the runner lighter need to be carved, such as the rope patterns and decorations around the wheel cover and the inscriptions, etc., which are carved by hand, while the rotor shaft and the pear column at the lower part of the machine head are rotated and rolled by twisting the workpiece by hand. When the runner shaft is riveted and fixed after passing through the machine base, it should not be riveted to death, but should be able to rotate. The thread of the clamping bolt of the machine head chuck is made of tapping with taps and dies. According to international practice, the firing device of the pocket classical craft gun must cancel the firing function, so the gun did not make a lighter wheel, and the fire transfer hole between the primer plate and the chamber of the gun chamber was not opened, and only the action of the runner shaft rotating and winding was retained.

(4) The production of the butt

Before blanking, the butt should be made with tinplate according to the actual size, so that it can be proofread at any time when both blanking and engraving, which can not only ensure the processing accuracy but also save time. When blanking, the outer contour of the butt is roughly formed, and then the barrel groove on the upper part of the butt and the through groove on the lower part are opened, and then the receiver groove in the middle is chiseled through. Because the mahogany is brittle, when opening the cassette slot, a row of through holes should be made first, and then cut through with a carving knife. After the butt is assembled in place with the barrel, receiver, through barrel, and trigger, the pin hole is drilled and fixed with a pin. Then the shape of the butt is carved and a runner lighter and nameplate are installed. According to the style of the work, the butt is not painted or polished, but retains the original color and texture of mahogany. The gun does not use too much decoration, and the hand-carved inscriptions in the flower font are seemingly inadvertently elevated to the artistic taste.

The gun has two innovations in structural design: one is the open integral barrel receiver, which solves the problem of strength and safety; The second is the overall retainer trigger, which solves the problem that the trigger retainer of the previous pocket craft gun is too small, and the finger cannot reach into it to pull the trigger, and the gun can be fired by pressing the trigger retainer, achieving the perfect unity of shape and function. The gun is well proportioned, comfortable to hold and can be fired with one hand.

———— the dividing line————

Jews in America had a hard time at first. In the early days of the United States, there were some European Jews who came to beg for a living. However, the number was very small, mostly Jews from Spain and Portugal. Most of them are not highly educated and do not know how to do business. Later, in the 18th century, many German Jewish immigrants came, but they didn't have much money. Like us Wenzhou people in China, we first walked the streets and alleys and did small business. Later, I saved some money and opened some grocery stores, tailors, textiles and clothes. But these people value education and have a high level of education. So the development is relatively fast.

Jews are not smarter than the Chinese, but they have built a networked social structure first through religion and later through economic interests and culture. This makes them infighting, but in general they can still help each other. The persecution of them by anti-Semitic forces has in some ways made them more united. This spirit of mutual assistance is only comparable to Wenzhou people and Chaozhou people.

Later, Eastern Europe was anti-Semitic, and many Jews fled to the United States. Although these Eastern European Jews were very different from the Jewish immigrants who arrived earlier in terms of language, appearance, and even doctrine, the old Jewish immigrants still spontaneously contributed money and effort to settle them. German Jewish immigrants who engaged in petty business hired Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe to help them find a bowl of food. At that time, such a group of small owners and young men were not qualified to carry shoes for WASP.

Later, some hawkers and shopkeepers changed their careers and opened banks. Now it sounds a little incredible. However, at that time, the threshold of the bank was very low, and relatives and friends could open it with some money, which was easier than the current Zhejiang people to raise money to speculate in houses and build small hydropower and small coal kilns. At that time, many so-called banks were in bankers' backpacks, similar to today's leather bag companies. The Lyman brothers, who were selling cotton at the time, moved from the south to New York and opened a bank. And the clothing sellers Leber and Goldman Sachs were also forced to move to New York to open a bank out of fear of catching up with the fashionable wives. Afraid of his wife and afraid of two banking families, it is also a good story. Their bank's main customers are basically the petty traders as well. Because the threshold for banks was low at that time, there were many failures. Jewish banks were not in the United States at the time.

In the thirties of the 19th century, the United States was engaged in infrastructure construction as much as China is doing now. But the United States was poor at that time and needed to borrow money from European banks. At that time, the position of the United States in the world was the same as that of China in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and it was a place with relatively high investment risks. Most European banks are on the sidelines. German Jewish bankers and native German Jewish immigrant "bankers" saw an opportunity to support the construction of railroads and canals in the United States. The result, of course, is very profitable. Auguste Belmont, Joseph Seligman of the New York branch of Rothschild Bank, Philip Lehman, Jules Baker of Lehman Brothers and Marcus Goldman of Goldman Sachs, and Jacob Brown of Kuhn & Co. Jacob Schiff was a major player in this investment, or rather speculation. These Jews and Jewish banks were launched in this wave of investment. Although some of these people were on the periphery of the Rothschild family, and some were born as small merchants, it is said that these families formed a life-and-death alliance in this extremely risky investment, and they have been fighting together ever since.

Then the Civil War broke out, and the Jew Judah P. Benjamin became Secretary of War and then Secretary of State[xv]. Naturally, these families would not give up such a good opportunity, and they all made a fortune soon. In all fairness, the war money from these banks is not too black. And Rockefeller, Morgan and others, who rose through this war, simply robbed the national wealth of the two governments of the North and the South. After another partnership, Goldman Sachs and other Jews became more closely connected, and like most alliances, they naturally married each other to strengthen their relationship, eventually forming a vast Jewish network. This ever-expanding alliance of chaebol families is called Ourcrowd. ”
