Taurus International MFG, Inc. Factory Tour

[Long_Shot]

Props to Taurus for inviting you guys, they did something 95% of fire-arm manufactures wouldn't do. They are obviously proud of what they do and are not afraid to show it.

WOW! Nice report you two! Very impressed with the Taurus plant. I am amazed at the small number of weapons in the repair area! The sceptic in me wants to think you left out a rack or two.....

Ha! The skeptic in me had me looking around to see if there were more put somewhere else. There were not. What you see in those pictures is what we saw. We were given full access to any and all parts of the entire facility. Taurus is for real!

Very cool. I am a new Taurus owner. I just got a 6-1/2" barreled S/S Judge (2-1/2" Chamber). I was looking for destructions on how to either completely disassemble it or at least remove the cylinder so I could do a thorough cleaning as the cylinder turned but not very freely. Figured shipping grease was packed in there. So I Googled it and found this site. Had to join to see the pictures and this thread is the second thread I’ve read. Very nice write-up indeed. Awesome souvenirs too. Way better than the freebie stuff at the Jelly Belly tour. So anyhow, I’m glad I joined. Seems like a nice site.

So when are you going to Brazil to have a look at the operation down there?

This CNC machine was produced by 'Eurotech'. Does Glock, H&K, Steyr, and other European manufacturers use similar CNC technology?

If they do, then how can Taurus firearms possibly be considered inferior?




This particular CNC machine is labeled 'NEXUS' 410A-2. The term, Nexus, was originally used in the 1982 cult sci-fi movie, "Blade Runner" The replicants that Deckard (Harrison Ford) hunted were called Nexus VI models. This otherwise meaningless, yet trendy term has been used as a name for health and beauty aid products as well.

They are not inferior, that's just propaganda like when the French invaded Mexico. They were all inferior until they won their independence with a big bang.

What are the other gun companies that Taurus makes parts for?

What are the other gun companies that Taurus makes parts for?

Taurus wouldn't say due to confidentially agreements with their customers. It was kind of obvious what some of them were for in looking at the parts, but I don't want to step on any toes here as they were nice enough to give us full access to their facilities.

Thank you for sharing the pics! Very impressed with their facility. Thank you to Taurus as well for opening up their doors for us all to see.
