Any of you 305 or 786 residence ever heard of a public tour at Taurus? Since they are located here I was wondering if any of you have been to their manufacturing plant.
Even though we are talking about TAURUS....  still I would like to see how the stuff is made. |

I was there a few years ago to bring a 44 mag. for repair and I was not even allowed on the property. Stopped at the gate by security guards.
I had to come back home, pack the gun and ship it overnight by Fedex for some 65 dollars. I live 30 minutes from them. So I am not sure about being able to tour the place. |

Are they actually made there? I was under the impression that they were just imported, and actually made in Brazil.

from what i understand they were making barrels for smaller calibers and parts and r&D , but best to call and ask before just showing up. not every place allows visitors.

A lot of these places are not allowing tours these days, even with a school club haven't gotten permission anywhere in east central area. It's a shame, most certainly would build business when people are stopping by to look over the process.

The president of Taurus, Bob Morrisson, shoots Trap out at Markham Park. The ATA shoots (one weekend a month IIRC) and sometimes on Wed. night, the 'Trap Club' night. He seemed like a pretty nice guy. I pulled for him more then a few times, and back when Taurus was making all the 22LR Winchester clones I kidded him that a Taurus/Win 63 rifle would make a great tip for my Trap-pulling services...he gave me $5 instead.
