anyone in our machine shop as most expect polished floors and equally polished lathes and mills and it ain't happening. Just trying to allocate time to stop all the machines and clean up is hard. And most people believe we use CNC machines and just push a button. And that ain't so either. If all our guns were just alike then we could just CNC the parts but every gun is different. That is why they call them custom guns. And every gun and every part are hands on work. No CNC at all. These lathes and mills are used 8 to 10 hours a day 6 days a week and there is seldom a time when all of these machines are not running. I had to come in early before the guys got here to take pics of the machines. And like I mentioned above I have added 2 lathes and another mill since most of these pics were taken. So the secret is out and now you know.
