The Strategic Importance of Manufacturing in America

In this video, Austin, lead engineer and owner of Griffin Armament, dives into the significance of American manufacturing and the current state of the industry. He explores major CNC brands like Mazak, Haas, Okuma, DMG Mori, and Doosan, highlighting their crucial roles in metal manufacturing and the reality that many of these crucial components are made outside of the United States. Austin also emphasizes the need to revive American pride in innovation and celebrates the often-overlooked contributions of manufacturing workers as the unsung heroes of our nation.

I hope you can continue making great reliable products. PlIt’s been tough finding new employees for every business. Keep your manufacturing in the US. I ordered a Bushwacker 46 nine months ago. I’m still patiently waiting for the best.

People know me for the youtube channel. What people dont know is i am a supervisor of the CNC department of a incredible Aerospace company. Machining is the best career someone can get into. There is always work and the world is always progressing. If you are looking into a career and or career change, machining i would highly suggest. I love my job and i love everything involved in the machining world. Great video guys

I am an apprentice CNC machinist that runs two Okuma mills and I'm learning a DMG. I work in a tool and die shop. I started as a Tool and Die apprentice but as part of my tool and die apprenticeship I did a rotation in the CNC department and turned out to be pretty good at it and they asked me to stay and so I did, now even though I'm just an apprentice I run my two Okuma's on the night shift by myself. We rarely make the same part twice due to the nature of our shop. I'm glad that an old timer taught me the importance of mastering the setup process early. We use FCS a lot but often times we have to revert back to a normal vice that has to be indicated to zero.
Where I work we don't really use lathes but I did have some exposure to the lathe in school and I really enjoyed it. I hope later in my career I get more opportunities to work with cnc multi axis lathes and mill turns.
My goal is to eventually work in the gun industry. I'd come work for Griffin but unfortunately you guys are on the opposite side of the big lake =(

Tons of machine shops here in Oklahoma. We are the manufacturing capital of the united states. A lot of shops are struggling because of the Biden administration’s stranglehold on the oil business. Maybe outsourcing to a company here might be beneficial. I’ve been a machinists for over 25 years. Tons of talented people here. Probably one of the most 2A supporting states in the union.

Also support local small business

Great video. Great company. I was hoping to see you making a DUAL-LOK™ PSR™ (OTB) 7 SUPPRESSOR (7.62MM) in FDE. I have been trying to buy one. From Griffin armament using factory direct for the past few months.

Any plans for more hub compatible 5.56 suppressors? I love the idea of the explorr but I hear the flash capability is lacking

[@GriffinArmamentOfficial]

The flash isn't too bad on the Explorr lineup, but it's certainly not marketed as a flash-hiding suppressor. However, our Explorr 300 line does better at hiding flash on 5.56 platforms than the Explorr 224. As of now, these are our only hub compatible 5.56 suppressors

[@kylhstand]

@@GriffinArmamentOfficial really? I was always told a larger bore would equal larger flash

[@shcusmc]

Surprised I didn’t see Rick in this video. Was he moved to a different role or no longer with the company?

[@GriffinArmamentOfficial]

Oh don't worry, he's still here! Catch him walking past the camera at 1:09 haha. Also at 3:26

[@shcusmc]

@@GriffinArmamentOfficial good! Rick is a great guy, and definitely one of the highly skilled Americans Austin talks about in this video.

[@austingreen3888]

@@shcusmc Yes he is, we were just kind of shooting from the hip with the video, I was just trying to communicate a need for more manufacturing people, because we have been training and hiring a lot of people lately.

[@settlesmachiningtools8671]

[@GriffinArmamentOfficial]
