Small Arms Commission Quest

Reader mode
well, we are only choosing for the armies. I'm sure the rest of the good contestants can find a position on the open market :)
 
Having a cold weather lubricant as a further block to rifle production is foolishness. Moreover, this is the 1880s-1890s we don't really have any oils that work well in cold environments aside from say, refined sperm whale oil which brings with it cost and problems with regards to sourcing it, or the source being interdicted in wartime. In addition there is the problem of storage as it will not keep like petroleum derived oils.

At most make a note for the army to look into it and move on.

[X] Make a strong recomendation that a less temperature sensitive lubricant must be found. The change of lubricant can happen even after the rifle is issued.

That's reasonable.

For all that voted according to my proposal,there is a small grammar mistake in it.

It should read:

The change of lubricant can happen even after the rifle is issued.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Repeating Rifle Commision Stages Six and Seven
  • Threadmarks
    • Having finally settled on the Arbatescu, the design is immediately put into production by the state arsenal system. Rather, it would be but there was a three week delay when some of the tooling jigs intended for the Joachimsthal arsenal accidentally got sent to the state artillery factory in Kaštela (which doesn't even make anything under 20cm, making the mix-up even more mystifying.)

    After this, production is a breeze, with ammunition plants establishing packet facilities as well, and in general production actually exceeds expectations slightly thanks to just how easy the Arbatescu is to make. With the delays at the Joachimsthal plant, total production by the end of Fiscal Year 850 (or slightly less than six months production) is about 175 000 rifles, and a little over one twenty hundred million rounds of ammunition. This comes out to, at 1 Thaler 75k a rifle, and 2 thaler 15 for 300 rounds of ammunition, 262 500 Thalers for the rifles, and 840 000 Thalers for the Ammunition, or 1 102 500 Thalers total for the year's production. Mrs. Arbatescu received another 200 000 thalers for her services to the crown, while Abram Topani collected 300 000 thalers.

    Furthering the shipping woes the train cars carrying finished rifles have occasionally been sent to the wrong places, with cavalry units being sent long rifles when carbine production hasn't even begun. Needless to say, by the end of FY 850, only the 1. Garde-Infanterie-Division and the Infantry divisions of the Fürst zu Kreißch's III Korps were fully equipped with the Arbatescu rifle, with the rest of the Gardekorps and II Korps beginning the transition process, and total conversion including cavalry and artillery carbines (totaling some 1 530 000 rifles and carbines) should be complete by the end of FY 855, with production scheduled to taper off through FY860 to replace current reserve arms.

    Needless to say, with the Gardekorps and III Korps extremely happy with the rifle, you've somehow dodged a bullet and can move on with your life.

    That's it. You guys lucked out and didn't roll anything that would cause an issue for production and integration that was actually your fault.
    So March's competition starts Friday and will be Self-loading Pistols.
