Which companies' guns are still 100% "Made in the USA"?

[lysander]

A more important question might be: Which manufacturer's profits stay in the US?

I would be willing to bet that not a single manufacturer can claim anything other than 100% Assembled in the USA. I recently left the employ of a very small specialty sporting goods manufacturer...and even we ordered components from China. It is cheaper to buy 10,000 screws and 100,000 orings from China and have them flown in-country than it was to buy the same stateside...and almost as fast.

I thought that plastic Kimber frames were made in Israel.

Really Love My KAHR P9

For high-end, deep-cover, concealed carry it's hard to beat. It's very popular with CCW holders..KAHR's niche for this model.

Their biggest police sales are in New York City, where they're on the very short list for backup and off-duty guns. NYPD approved their stainless 9mms. Kahr’s in elite company.. less than five firms have made that list.

I buy American the same as I frequent mom and pop's in my neighborhood when possible. With out sourcing, I feel obligated to do what I can for the workers and companies still left.

Take Care

Great lever guns from

Henry Repeating Arms Co. http://www.henryrepeating.com/aboutus.cfm

 

[LAR-15]

Savages are made in Canada........at least the one I have is.

 

[LAR-15]

All AR-15s are US made because of the import laws.

No foreign parts that I know of.

 

[k_dawg]

Smith & Wesson uses some non-USA frames. For example, their SW99's frames are made in germany.

I've got both Marlins and Rugers. Pretty sure they are made in Connecticut, ...for sure somewhere in that region.

Also have a Rem870 bought back in 1988 that is 100% USA.

 

[R.W.Dale]

Smith and wesson is out to as I believe the barrels for the x-frame revolvers are made in germany. Also aren't some of the automatics made by walther.

 

[M.E.Eldridge]

Heritage makes single action revolvers in .22, .22 WMR, and .17.

 

[_N4Z_]

follow up.

Yep, both Marlin and Ruger are made in Conn. The Remington was born and bred in New York.

Also have a newly acquired "black rifle" that was assembled in Utah by Vector. Not 100% USA though, but some. My token Heinz 57!

 

[GTSteve03]

Mossberg?

What about Mossberg? I got the Savages wrong but maybe I can be right this time.

 

[NineseveN]

DSA (except their surplus rifles, but they just put those together with a mix of parts).

 

[mkeBob]

I believe the new Detonics USA guns are 100% made in the USA.

 

[Meplat]

Yours have been added, except for Ruger, which I already and and Daisy. I'm going to check and see if they make firearms or just BB/Pellet guns.

Daisey makes (or at least USED to make) a couple of rimfire .22's. Single shot and a repeater. Not sure if they still manufacture them or not.

 

[MudPuppy]

All AR-15s are US made because of the import laws.

Actually, just the barrels and receivers can't be imported. Any other part can be, but you must have a certain number of US made parts:

27 C.F.R. SECTION 478.38, formerly SECTION 178.38 Also known as "SECTION 922r"

This section is also refered to as the "10 parts rule." Put as simply as possible, it states that if a semi-automatic rifle that is not eligible for importation under the Gun Control Act of 1968 is assembled using imported parts, no more than 10 of the parts in the assembly can be imported.

Your tax dollars at work...

 

[MNgoldenbear]

Nesika rifles are made in SD.
(I remember hearing something about Dakota buying them tho.)

Pretty sure that's why they're here. I think they started out in WA.

 

[utahminirevolver]

My favorite, the North American Arms minirevolver is made entirely in the US, I believe.

Some products are assembled here, which is a shade better than being made abroad and totally imported, imo. I think Glocks are like that, aren't they?
Our Chevrolet Aveo is sold by General Motors, but made in Korea. I've seen Taurus PT-22s that were stamped 'made in Florida', although the company is Brazilian.

 

[OH25shooter]

Here's something to think about regarding "Made in America". How many firearms were actually designed by Americans? Wasn't the gun that won WWll, the M-1 Garand, designed by a Canadian?

 

[Gun_nut]

i balive savage is 100% usamade and i know Hi-Point firarms are

 

[Ala Dan]

+1 on the Les Baer fine firearms with NO MIM parts.

Also, Seecamp's are made here in the U. S. of A.

 

[Shootcraps]

Wasn't the gun that won WWll, the M-1 Garand, designed by a Canadian?

He was born in Canada in 1888. His family moved to Connecticut when he was a child. In 1917 he was hired at the US Bureau of Standards working with the War Department on perfecting the light machine gun.

Would that have made him an Immigrant or Naturalized Citizen? None of the bios I found mention it.

 

[c_yeager]

Actually, just the barrels and receivers can't be imported. Any other part can be, but you must have a certain number of US made parts:

Furthermore raw forgings do not count as recievers untill they have been machined, so even those forgings can be imported as long as the finish work is done in the states.

 

[00-Guy]

Other guns

Ljutic
Kolar
Alfermann
Seitz
Cole
Bowen

In the event that you don't know, they are all trap guns. (OK Ljutic made some rifles and pistols.)

 

[lysander]

How far do we want to stretch the "Made in the USA" tagline? 100% is a pretty certain number.

Where is the steel made?
Where does the wood for stocks and grips come from?
The rubber?

etc., etc., etc.
