Where are guns being made these days?

[storm shadow]

I've been wondering where all the gun manufacturer's are currently having their guns made.

NOTE: There is a huge difference between where a gun is made versus where the company is geographically located that owns that assembly plant.

Actually, it could be all over the world anymore (one-worldism sound familiar to anyone as predicted in the bible?)

For example: Raw metal for part is mined in country A. Then shipped to country B for smelting, refining and processing. Then metal ingots are shipped to country C for casting, stamping and machining. Then part is shipped to country D for final assembly for sweat labor wages. Then gun is shipped back to country A to be sold. However, the company that is responsible of all of this is half a world away in country E!!

Yep, the list is quite long; with many different countries involved. I would
have to give the subject much thought, before I could sit down and list 'em
all~!

 

[El Tejon]

My guns hail from Brazil (Springfield 1911s), Croatia (Springfield XD), and China (Norinco SKS).

Though legally my SKS is now a US-made weapon, per Title 18 of the United States Code, Chapter 44, Section 922(r)

Ironically, many of the places that are big into manufacturing, are the places trying to ban them the most.

 

[TallPine]

My understanding was that Ruger handguns are made in Prescott AZ

 

[Dravur]

I have a Penguin 2000C

Made in Antarctica. Made by penguins.

I also have a 40 Megawatt Phaser.... Made on a planet in the Rigel system.

And the BFG2000, made in DOOM!

[Shear_stress]

What Browning firearms are currently made in the U.S.? And where?

I believe the Buckmark is made in your homestate of Utah. The Pro9/40 are made in South Carolina by FNUSA.

 

[Car Knocker]

I believe the Buckmark is made in your homestate of Utah.

I wonder who makes it? Browning doesn't manufacture anything, AFAIK.

 

[scout26]

Springfield- Springfield, MA

Uhhh, nope. It's a muesem http://www.nps.gov/spar/



Springfield Armory (the company that actually makes firearms are in Geneso, Illinois http://www.springfield-armory.com/contactus.php in the Rock River (aka Gun) valley, along with several other manufacturers like Les Baer, Rock River Arms, and Armalite. At least for now, if Gov Blago and Mayor Daley have their way, they relocate with they well paid manufacturing jobs to out of state. I've heard that the potential negative economic impact of them being forced out of state to be somewhere around $20 million per year. And Illinois is about to default on some of it's bonds and other loans. Not to mention the whole budget mess we're in.

You can get even pickier outside of what country it's produced in

MY AR: Olympia, Washington

For example, while Olympic Arms is based out of Olympia, they have at least several vendors that do machining and similar services all over the state. I know someone that routinely gets orders from Olympic Arms for work on components.

Most companies are set up like that and few do 100% in-house production as it would be pretty expensive. Most subcontract out major components like barrels and various specialty work like swaging, grinding, mold and casting work, anodizing and coatings, etc. Many subcontract out of state or even out of country for certain stuff.
