Half of the Weatherby rifle assembly crew at ATEK Manufacturing in Brainerd, Minn., is in this photo. At left, Marie Jabs completed the safety fitting of a rifle, which will then go to the inspection station. At right, Cheryl Wynn selected a barreled action to take back to her stock assembly station, where she will complete assembly of the rifle. At rear, Linda Nygren put together bolts at the bolt assembly station. All of the employees are cross-trained, and all perform every step of the manufacturing process.
