Selected pictures from the AKA factory.
The workbench where the Excaliburs are assembled. It may look like a mess, but
they know where everything is. Looks alot like my workbenches. The phenomenon is called
"Tool Equilibrium" all the tools gravitate to their natural spot, which is not necessarily
where they should be.

This is how Excaliburs start out. It is an extrusion of aluminum that is about
10 feet long. the bars are cut to length and then machined to spec.

It's made from scratch Most everything is made from scratch. Here some grip frames are being milled out of a chunk of aluminum. They get two grip frames per plate.

Here are some finished up waiting to polish.

Annodizing. After all the holes and air passages are drilled out and the body is
machined, all the aluminum components are sent out for anodizing. Here are some Excalibur bodies that are back from the anodizer.
