You have to check criteria for "Made in USA" as it pertains to guns. I bet the standard is much lower then cars, for example.


Not much to debate. If a receiver/frame is greater than 80% complete it's a firearm and the ATF requires a serial number, manufacturer, and country of origin.

It's possible and maybe even likely that Springfield is outsourcing the forgings and a certain level of machine work, but if "Made in the USA" is on the firearm then most and the bulk of the important work was done here.


Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
