COMPLETE firearms (long rifles) must meet 922r.

Very few firearms are made completely in the US anymore.


As far as the original post-sad but true. It is hard to find anything made in the US anymore.
This is a substantial reason our country is in the crapper economically.
We can thank Clinton for opening the trade avenues for a large portion of it.
The only way we can fix it IMHO is to sock foreign made good with high tariffs to where they are unattractive to purchase.
It would initially be met with quite a bit of resistance as people would not want to pay a higher price than normal for US goods but I really think that most folks would rather pay an extra dollar if it means keeping the US working.
That's why I'm glad I own a POF rifle... 100% made in the good ol US of A!
