Offer of Entire Production Line for Small Arms Handgun Ammunition Manufacture & Assembly ( NOW SOLD ): THIS INFORMATION IS NOW FOR CUSTOMER TECHNICAL REFERENCE ONLY.
Circa 1950-1970’s (refurbished) & new or near new machinery for cartridge & projectile production and assembly and packaging of small arms cartridges
We have an entire handgun ammunition production line which includes not only the assembly and packaging of complete ammunition from components but also for the production of handgun projectiles and cartridge cases as well. This provides the potential new owner complete independence of production which, beyond the offer, is attractive in itself. Pictures (31) of the entire line are available upon request or can be e-mailed if you wish.
The production capacity of this ammunition line for an 8 hour shift is 25,000 cartridge cases, 25,000 projectiles, and 28,000 complete rounds of ammunition. Running at a maximum capacity of 3 shifts per day, the output is 75,000 cartridge cases, 75,000 projectiles and 84,000 complete rounds of ammunition in a full 24 hour period, flat-out.
The machines are simple to operate, which lowers requirements for worker qualifications. A typical shift involves 13 workers per shift, plus a shift leader and a tool setter. The universality and flexibility of the machines allows for quick set-up without long delays in production.
So far to date, the production machinery line has been used to manufacture the following calibers of components & complete ammunition:
7.65 Browning
7.65 LUGER
9mm Browning (9 x 17)
9mm Makarov (9 x 18)
9mm LUGER (9 x 19, 9mm PARA)
