That is an AMAZING picture of a real gun factory, producing guns. That is empirical evidence that MF made their own guns.
It’s too bad none of E.M. Reilly’s hundreds of employees didn’t bother to snap at least one pic of their gun making factory & machines.

Early on, the power for the Hunter Arms factory machinery was primarily from the race underneath the building, as was, I believe, the Ithaca Gun Co. factory.
This drawing from 1924 shows 50% of the power from steam; 50% from water

In 1896 the factory also had a "300-light dynamo, which lights the factory in the evening when the men are working overtime."
