This video details a failed attempt at stamping a firearm component using a 120-ton hydraulic press. Mark Serbu, owner of Serbu Firearms, highlights the critical importance of precise material alignment and die design in sheet metal stamping. The demonstration showcases common pitfalls, such as misalignment leading to skewed parts, and the challenges of achieving complex bends with simple dies. Serbu emphasizes that learning from failures is integral to the engineering process.

This video, hosted by Shane, a professional gunsmith and instructor, details the evolution of firearm manufacturing. It contrasts traditional forging and machining with modern techniques like polymer molding and Metal Injection Molding (MIM), highlighting the advantages in speed, cost, and design flexibility. The discussion covers specific components like the Fab Defense AGR-47 grip and touches upon platforms like the Glock, M14, and M1A.

This analysis of the BSD VSS Vintorez reproduction, presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, highlights significant manufacturing challenges and potential pitfalls. McCollum expresses skepticism regarding the project's timeline and viability, drawing parallels to past failed reproductions. He emphasizes the complexity of the VSS's striker-fired mechanism and six-lug rotating bolt, contrasting it with simpler designs. The use of B&T's 3D-printed suppressor and an original Russian top cover on the prototype are noted, alongside BSD's inexperience with critical processes like metal stamping and heat treatment.

This YouTube video, titled 'Diabolus - Yet Another Look!', is a re-upload from 2021 after the creator's channel was demonetized. It aims to address questions arising from a previous video about "Stamping." While the specific firearm model 'Diabolus' is not a standard designation, the context of addressing user questions after a previous video suggests a review or in-depth look at a firearm or firearm-related topic. The mention of "stamping" could allude to manufacturing processes, serialization, or legal compliance related to firearms.

This guide details the process of stamping a firearm receiver using a hydraulic press, as demonstrated by Mark Serbu. It covers material preparation, the stamping process itself, and inspection of the finished part. The video highlights the advantages of stamped steel over machined aluminum for firearm receivers, emphasizing durability and manufacturing efficiency. Instruction is provided by a professional firearm designer and manufacturer.

This video showcases the development and testing of the AK-50 prototype by Brandon Herrera. It details the transition to a stamped receiver, custom trunnion machining, and a recoil buffer system, demonstrating the firearm's destructive potential with .50 BMG rounds against various targets.
