Figured I would show this image that I got from Jon a few years back.

Example of material and working time savings through the transition from machining to formed parts in the manufacture of the German infantry rifle.

2247d/VDI-Lelirschau ! “Performance Improvement”
Total war, as is well known, requires maximum performance with minimal expenditure of human labor and materials, i.e. increased performance in every direction.
This goal is served by a VDI exhibition “Performance Improvement,” organized by the Association of German engineers. It is housed in a special Reichsbahn train
and will visit all major industrial centers in greater Germany over the next few months. Using exemplary techniques, this exhibition will demonstrate how increased
performance in the manufacture of technical products can be achieved by saving materials and labor, or by increasing production in a single unit of time.
31.5.43 (May 31, 1943
What is interesting is the multi-piece front 'H' style band.
