Pretty interesting 8+ minute video ( film) from 1918. "Manufacturing the Model 1917 Bolt-Action Rifle". For your viewing pleasure. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=39wM-lzDWE4

That was very interesting, thank you.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Interesting! Slushing the rifles was applying cosmoline?

That was great! Repeating the same action over and over is almost as good as CNC.  Interesting! Slushing the rifles was applying cosmoline? Yes.

Some of the workers (for example the guys doing the barrel straightening) were wearing ties!

Thanks for posting. Very interesting indeed. Notice all the belt driven stuff? That was once almost the norm in industrial settings like that. Reminded me of the paper mill my paternal grandfather worked in for 42 years ( 1916-1958) where it seemed like every moving thing in there was belt driven. Even had stuff upstairs running off a big long belt that came up from below through two slots in the floor. The main power was a rotating shaft downstairs that ran stuff on both floors.
