For a firearm to be effective, it needs to be reliable, durable, consistent and accurate. When finished parts have burrs or other defects, the detrimental impact it has on the gun is severe. With Swiss machining, you avoid these issues and provide a product that can be trusted when needed most.
Details matter when manufacturing firearm components
Precise machining is an important component when manufacturing gun parts. When producing firearms, attention to detail is critical. Parts and components must be made with extremely tight tolerances to make sure that the finished part consistently meets design specifications. If these requirements are not met, the weapon will function improperly or not at all.
When manufacturing firearm parts, there are local, state and national regulations that need to be met. These regulations ensure that each part made is safely and reliably.

It is not surprising that the manufacturing of firearms comes with standards that are needed to produce a functioning product. NomuraSwiss turning machines provide a highly accurate, precise, rigid and stable solution to make sure these standards are achieved. Through Swiss machining, firearm manufacturers can produce complex part geometries, often common in the firearms industry.
A firearm can be a heavy investment, and you want to make sure it consistently fires correctly and accurately. Surface finish is one of the main factors when manufacturing firearm parts. According to the article from Machining Firearm Components by Industrial Machinery Digest:
“Surface finish is key for firearm chambers because of the need to accept the incoming cartridge, which determines the accuracy of the rifle and the load being fired on target.”
Having a smoother finish results in less friction and wear and tear, extending the life of the weapon. Manual finishing processes are time-consuming, lack finish consistency and add to the cost of production, overall affecting the quality of your finished product. NomuraSwiss machines circumvent these challenges completely. Due to the rigid structure, chatter and vibration are reduced, accuracy is increased and tool life is extended, which results in finer finishes and more consistent parts. Nomura machines can sustain tolerances as tight as .0001in for the entire duration of a run, requiring no attention from the operator.

When it comes to manufacturing firearm components, accuracy and precision play a crucial role in determining the success of the finished part. NomuraSwiss provides the consistency and attention to detail necessary to create a part that is reliable, accurate and efficient. This provides an effective solution to the defense industry by creating finished products that can be relied upon.
