Touring the Smith & Wesson Factory: GunVenture|S1 E5 P2
This video tours the Smith & Wesson factory in Springfield, Massachusetts, highlighting their advanced manufacturing processes for M&P pistols and rifles. It emphasizes the use of sophisticated CNC machinery with automated tool loading and measurement, as well as Computerized Measuring Machines (CMMs) to maintain extremely tight tolerances (plus or minus a tenth of a thousandth of an inch). The assembly process is described as a 'quality checkline' with multiple inspection points to ensure high-quality, reliable firearms.
