I also have photos from the Merkel factory.

Here are a few.

Receiver castings.

CNC stock maker.

Stocks as they come off of the CNC machine.

I also noticed (and confirmed) that the rifle barrels used on Merkels are dove-tailed lumps... not chopper-lump as was once indicated on GSI's website. See last photo above of the shoe-lump on the barrels.
