7.62mm, Velodog 5.6mm and special hunting cases for smokeless powder. During this period the factory manufactured single and double barrel hunting rifles in 12, 16 and 20 gauges. In subsequent years manufacturing began of 7.9mm military rifles and ammunition for 9mm government handgun.
The factory was severely damaged several times during WW2, but was always rebuilt and continued functioning. In that period the factory got a new name – Prvi Partizan and became government owned.
