Most readers may not have been to Scona, Sweden. In fact, the original English author of this article has not been to before, but later the author received a visit invitation from Spuhr, a company specializing in the production of rifle scope seats and other gun-related accessories and upgrade kits. In his opinion, this trip and visit are very meaningful, so let me introduce it to you below.
The famous rifle scope mirror holder
Hibernberg was founded in 2007 when the company's founder, Hakan Hibernberg, worked as a firearms technician at Aimpoint and provided several product solutions for the company. For example, the Twist installation base and the MPS installation base were the products that were collaborated in that year.

After that, many units have known about the various extraordinary solutions Mr. Hiber as a firearm technician. Soon after, some military units with special combat missions began to seek the help of Mr. Hipber. Over the years, Hiber has cooperated with law enforcement and armed forces around the world and various related equipment manufacturers, especially in Europe. It is no exaggeration to say that many of the military and police sniper teams with very high levels use Hiber's mirror seats.
For example, in many international sniper competitions, we can see that many high-precision sniper rifles used by participating teams are equipped with the mirror seats of Hiber. Especially for sniper rifles, the mirror seat, as a bridge connecting the firearm and the scope, is an indispensable part of the sniper system. It can be said that the quality of the mirror seat is directly related to the advantages and disadvantages of the sniper result.
CTR-02 5.56mm rifle, using the Hiberl ISMS mirror seat, Zeiss' V8 scope is installed, and Emboeing's red dot scope is installed on the side. This configuration is very suitable for participating in three-gun competitions and other products are designed according to customers' military needs, while others are designed by Hiberl based on its own experience in shooting, participating in shooting competitions and hunting, such as their ideal scope installation system (IdealScope MountsSystem, referred to as ISMS).

In Hibern's Company, most of the product parts are produced by our company themselves to maximize control of all links in the production process, thereby ensuring the highest accuracy and quality. Today, Hibern employs about ten employees, and other productions are highly automated.
Below is the main text of the visit and travel notes of Hiber Company:
Hiber Company's storage area, with a special area and box to store all items. At the same time, you can see that the aluminum alloy waste generated by the CNC CNC machining center can be recycled, which is in line with the ISO9000 quality system certification. The product processed by
CNC has not been processed in subsequent processing and belongs to the newly launched slim hunting mirror seat series by Hipber Company. Figure 7 is a finished illustration from the previous TFB Firearms blog.

In addition, each component produced by Hiber has a unique production code, and use this code to track raw materials and other information. If there is some problem with the future product, then this production code can be used to trace back to batches that may have potential problems.
processing and manufacturing code
In addition, the reason why Hiber has only a dozen employees is that Hiber's production is highly automated. The company has several CNC machining centers, and uses industrial robots and conveyors to complete the conveying. With the continuous work of these mechanical equipment, Hiber brand brackets and other gun accessories are continuously produced.

Below is the speech I saw on social media: "I still remember it freshly. Previously, Mr. Hiber had complained that it was necessary to install different scopes on different tactical platforms. What I saw is already a company. Hiber can provide a large number of carefully designed mirror seats to meet the needs of all users and all platforms, and this has now become the main advantage of Hiber."

is a semi-finished product preserved by Hipber Company. Since Hibern did not know what surface treatment the customer would choose in the end, and was unwilling to choose anodized or wrongly colored products, Hibern chose to save semi-finished products so that they could quickly release installation mirror seats that meet the requirements according to their needs. In the picture below
, except for the scope and other standard parts, other black-shaped products are manufactured by Hipber to be installed on various firearms and systems.
Himber's product display has an M4 carbine model with M203 grenade launcher (Part 3). This rifle is equipped with a Hiberine grenade launcher scope mounting mirror seat and an Aimpoint scope installed. With optical sight assist, the 40mm grenade can be easily launched into the windows of the far target.
, and the official description of Hiber Company is: "Most grenade launchers have sight scales on the side. There is a problem that after setting the scale , soldiers cannot read the number of scale set at this time when aiming (if the scale is set to 300 meters, then the value of 300 cannot be seen when aiming), and they cannot adjust according to the actual situation. . Therefore, soldiers can see how much the setting value of the watch scale is at this time when aiming and can adjust it. In addition, tritium tubes or luminous paint can be added and RDS sights with night vision design can be used to ensure that they can also be adjusted in low light conditions. "
The picture shows the Benelli MR1 rifle, using the mirror seat of the Hibernberg company. It can be seen that the scope is very low and can be adapted to the stock and shooter.
Hakan Hiberl was holding a HK MP5 submachine gun model with upgraded parts of Hiberl. You can see that the top of the receiver is designed with Picatinny guide rail for installation of optical sights, and the butt stock and handguard guards have also been modified.
The picture above is a modified and upgraded rifle. The original author of this article tried to use the modified and upgraded G3 rifle to shoot. It turned out that even under very high pressure and time was tight, it could be easily shot. The prototype products of these modified parts were 3D printed using glass-filled nylon, and there were no problems after firing 8,000 rounds of ammunition. Units such as the Swedish Army have purchased this system and are currently mass-producing military contracts.
Product display
Hyber Company ISMS ideal scope installation system. You can see that in addition to the traditional telephoto optical sights, other equipment are also installed. Among them, the Thermal module is actually just a display model manufactured by Hiber Company. When using this system, users can build or reconfigure their own mirror seat installation system according to their own needs.

The bottom cabinet is an NVG installation system designed by Hipber Company. NUM-14 or TARSIUS16 night vision device can be installed. At the same time, single-cylinder night vision devices such as PVS-14 can also be installed.

This is a relatively rare product, suitable for HK's MP5 submachine gun, and the aluminum alloy is coated with soft touch paint. Unless a customer makes such a request, this product will not be mass-produced, and the hole-shaped interface system on the side is developed by Hipber Company itself.

In most cases, people will use camouflage coating, but the method adopted by Hiber is to perform anodization treatment. At the same time, we can see that the product in the figure below is engraved with "NATOStockNumber (NSN)".
