In this episode of GunVenture®, Season 1: An up-close look at some of the oldest known metalworking processes, including the forging and casting of firearms, at Ruger and Smith & Wesson. Plus, Ryan continues the forging fun at a local bladesmith's workshop.
From the Arizona desert, the snowy mountains of Oregon, or wherever else Tom’s plane will go, follow the GunVenture Team as they explore the world of shooting - From hunting to target shooting, and everything in-between. Tom, Chris and Ryan also manage to fit in a few side trips: It might be a visit to a brewery, shooting machine guns, or even off-roading in a Jeep. Whatever it is, you KNOW it’ll be fun!

Damn I felt my beard grow an inch or two from that forging scene! I used to work at a factory and shown on "How it's made" I really wish we would have looked half as badass as these guys, they didn't even really want to show us or how our product was REALLY made.

The people operating the forging press also are skilled at charbroiling steaks and hamburger patties during their lunch break!

Some of those old screw machines are hard to beat if you are running high volumes of the same part over and over again. Just because it doesn't have a computer on it doesn't mean it isn't accurate or efficient.

...I took the complete tour on 17 October 1996 - from the forge to the Custom shop...still have of one the ceramic 'stones' from the one of the parts tumblers - the guide said we could have one as a souvenir...marked mine w/the day/date...almost 25 years ago...

John Moses Browning made his first gun at 11 years old. So don't let the CNC machines and huge forging equipment concern you.

Thats because you are in the U.K. Gun and 2nd amendment culture is not part of your history.

@@ayazmohmand1780 not necessarily you can hammer forge a block of steel to desired specifications and then use that block as a template and then mill it out. Like old ak47 were made by milling a block of steel

They keep saying quality control. I just got a S&W 686 talo. The sideplate is jagged and doesn't creat that smoothe seam. I called and they told me 5-6 months for turn around time. If they have quality control, how the hell did this firearm even leave the factory. Poor (craftsmanship) quality control. Love the gun but now i have to send it in to get it fix.

The new Model 19 "Classic" is a piece of garbage! Aluminum barrel sleeves, MIM parts, and no fitting. Either make the gun as it was made, or don't make it at all, Smith & Wesson! Stop with the big con job!

Damnn did they lower the price with all those down grades?
