About 7.62mm

​

Some objects carry more than their shape.

They carry weight, memory, and stories that only reveal themselves when you slow down and put something together by hand. 7.62mm exists to bring those memories back.

 

We are a small, veteran-run family business based in the UK, creating self-assembly display model kits and commemorative pieces that are designed to be built, finished, and admired — not rushed, not automated, and certainly not forgotten.

​

Made by Veterans, Built by You

Every item we produce is designed and made by veterans in the UK.
We understand the importance of accuracy, proportion, and detail — because for many of us, these forms were once part of daily life.

​

Our self-assembly kits are supplied as carefully designed 3D-printed components, produced in PLA and delivered in sections for straightforward assembly. Glue and dowels are included; sanding and painting are intentionally left to the builder. Why? Because the act of building is part of the point.

​

Many customers choose to personalise their kit with colours, markings, or regimental details, turning it into a replica that reflects their own service history. It’s a process that rewards patience and care — and often sparks conversations that might otherwise never be had.

 

More Than a Model

These kits are not toys. They are decorative display models, intended for adults aged 18 and over, and for display purposes only. They cannot be repurposed or adapted for any functional use.

​

They are supplied as kits to be assembled and finished by the customer, then mounted or displayed as a finished piece — something to be looked at, remembered, and quietly appreciated.

Since we started, they’ve become particularly popular as gifts for military dads and grandads: projects built together, hands busy, stories flowing.

 

 

Why “7.62mm”?

The name is a subtle nod rather than a headline.

For those who recognise it, 7.62mm refers to a familiar calibre associated with service rifles of an earlier era. For others, it simply reads as what it is: a precise measurement, quietly technical, and rooted in history.

Much like our work.

​

Quietly Connected

7.62mm operates independently to Oaths of Allegiance, with a focused range dedicated solely to veteran-made display kits and commemorative pieces. While we are connected by values, people, and craftsmanship to our wider work elsewhere, this site exists to give these items a clear and appropriate home of their ow
