    Default Which Guns are made in USA?

    Which Guns are actually made in the USA? About 20 years ago, I began only buying GM or Chrysler cars new or used. I know Chrysler was owned by Mercedes when I got my Charger but I couldn't help myself. The last gun I bought, the Walther PK380 was made in Germany but owned by S & W. It's getting hard to buy American anymore. But is any guns actually made be American hands?

    robinson arms.
    Arsenal AK's
    Henry repeating Arms
    S&W
    Bushmaster
    Olympic arms
    how many more you want??

    FWIW

    I have come to the point in life, where i'm more concerned about reliability vs. where it's made. a good foregin car or forearm(OOPS)FIREARM (dooh) will be in my possession quicker than a sloppy mfg gun or car made in America. Which BTW has come to mean North America encompassing
    CehNehDeh and Old Mexico.

    I knew I would get some flack for the MIA, unions and all; but I think it's still a better option than sending the dollars overseas.

    I hope you don't take this stance on everything, or you will be walking around naked. That a lot of exposure for Mr. Snuffalufagus.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    Well those dollars have to come back at some point or they're useless ... and the unions do more damage to America than foreign companies.

    But I'm not likely to talk you out of your "Only Buy American" stance ... and frankly as far as firearms go, at least the American gun companies aren't trying to ruin America (can't really say that for the car companies).

    Bill Ruger is dead and S&W are owned by pro gun American folk instead of statist Brits now, so there's really nothing to worry about there. Plus Americans make better guns than cars anyway.

    You should be able to find plenty of American made guns to fill your safe.

    Heck yeah! I'm not going to take a chance on another union made forearm. My entire left arm has never worked quite right ...

    If US made guns were of inferior quality, I'd agree. If I was into tupperware pistols I'd probably go with Glock, for example. But with Colt, Springfield, S&W, Remington, and Ruger, nearly all of my needs can be fulfilled domestically. I do really want a Sig, so someday I'll have a total of 3 foreign firearms.
    A plan is just a list of things that don't happen.
