A look inside the Kalishnokov factory

[scottsvillesol]

I was looking around a website the other day and found this. It's kind of a tour of the Izmash AK plant. The article is written by someone who's first language is not English (I would assume it's Russian) but it is written in English, just not perfect.

Also FYI there are some questionable ads on the site it may not be sfw just because of the ads.

anyway here's the link

Firefox with NoScript, Ad Block Plus, and Flashblock showed me no ads on the site.

Nice photos, plant looks pretty decent, but I guess sexism still lives over there:

Attaching a butt to an almost finished gun. Women can perform the task!

I also liked this one:

A barrel is connected with a rod. There are special tools to do this, but some specialists use only a hammer.

Ah, the AK armorer's kit

When was this written:

Today their average salary is 16 thousand rubles (530 USD).

Seems really low unless its per week, if its per day I need work there!

...justification for the guys at CAI?
