JOBS CARRIED OUT
1. New Design of Machine Gun Barrel – Barrels of all Rifles and Machine Guns had grooved bore. German Machine Gun bore was being hard-chrome platted to increase it’s life from 6,000 to 12,000 rounds. Hard-chrome plating was not only costly but a tedious job also. Added problem for Pakistan was that the German company that was carrying out hard-chrome plating was not ready to transfer it’s technology to any one. This became a challenge not only for me but my country Pakistan also. I worked day and night on it for a few months. With the grace of Allah Soob-hanohoo wa Ta’ala I was able to give a new idea to the world, “Polygon Profile Bore” and no hard-chrome plating. This, not only increased the life of barrel to 18,000 rounds, but also reduced cost of barrel production to about half by doing away with costly hard-chrome-plating and up to 25% rejection during rejection hard-chrome-plating. German company, M/s Rheinmetall who had given to Pakistan technology for production of German Machine Gun, also adopted the Polygon Profile, invented by the writer of this blog, for German Army.
