Springfield Armory SA-35

Yes but Les Baer, Rock River Arms, and Lewis Machine & Tool (LMT) were all in the same State as well and nobody believes any of these are forging SA’s parts. 2 of the 3 have jumped boarders in recent years thanks to unfriendly conditions in Illinois.

You are absolutely spot on. I didn’t realize LMT, RRA, and Baer forged in house and honestly forgot they were Illinois based (or formerly were)

Its sad that so many good companies are having to relocate.

Its been my experience with auto parts, clothing, etc. that when companies use foreign made items, if they're proud of where they're from, i.e., Sweden, Germany, etc., they will indicate as such.

If it just says "made with imported parts" you can be pretty darn sure it's made in China.
