I don't know what this has to do with anything. What generation of people do you think moved all the manufacturing overseas the last 50+ years? Here's a hint- it wasn't young people.

I had bought a box of 1911 holsters from WWI&II. I tried everything until someone pointed out Lexol ,spray bottle from Walmart. It may be in automotive. Spray holster and let sit for half a day then again if needed. works great on leather jackets and anything leather.

When I got older I thought that you really had to be a mean kin to get a spanking from your Grandmother. My Mother on a few occasions took me from church and spanked me then we returned to church with tears running down my cheeks

Will do. So far I’ve only taken it out once and love it. I shot 300blk, both subs and supersonic, 5.56 and 9mm. I know your not supposed to because of fouling but I shot a couple mags of .22 as well. That made me want a .22 suppressor now! I did buy several muzzle devices and a piston mount while I was waiting for the approval. This makes shooting much more enjoyable and shooting a suppressed pistol is just plain fun! -southernasylum

For those in my age group. Saturday morning cartoons!!!! The only day you could get cartoons! Assuming you didn't have chores first.

My step brother and I got into a scuffle one day and my step dad sent us out to get 2 short peach tree limbs and one long one. He said, "y'all wanna fight, get after it until I say stop." The long one was for him when we just stood there not wanting to hit each other, he used it for motivation.

This happened even at church.

Beautiful 42 yr old rifle. Extremely hard to find. Made in 1981. Excellent condition. Comes with 1 box of Factory Ammo. $2650 Realistic trades considered only. No ARs.

Up for sale in a Remington Nylon 66! One of the most iconic .22LR rifles around, and this one is threaded 1/2x28mm for your favorite muzzle accessory. Extremely light semi-automatic rifle, weighing in at only 4 pounds! It was really way ahead of it's time considering when they were released in 1959. The tubular butt stock magazine holds 12 rounds of .22LR. My friend did the threads in his machine shop by turning down the barrel, installing a bushing in place with red locktite, then threading the bushing. You wouldn't even know looking at the threads that that is how this barrel was done. Over 200 rounds fired, no issues with baffle strikes on my suppressor. Pictured with a Silencerco Sparrow, not included but I can let you shoot it some suppressed at Nashville Armory's Range if you like. This is one of the quietest .22lr semi-auto rifles I have shot. Surface pitting on both side of receiver and top of receiver, some wear on barrel/receiver, scuffs stock all over. Originally this gun was sitting in a closet unassembled when my best friend bought his house. He fixed a part on it, threaded it and sold it to me to pay for some other firearms. Price drop to $300! SOLD PENDING MEET! Located in Nashville, TN

Hey all! Here’s my 1921 production Colt 1911. This was made for the civilian market. For its age the pistol is nice and tight. Rifling is great as well. Blueing is worn as to be expected for its age. looking to trade for other wartime 1911s or a M1 Garand/ Carbine or cool lever guns. Thanks and god bless

Up for sale is the Civilian version of S&W's M1917 used by the U.S. Military in WWI and WWII, as evidenced by the S&W Insignia on the left side of the frame and lack of U.S. Army/U.S. Property markings on the butt of the revolver. The gun was originally blued and would have been worth a lot, but someone decided to nickel plate the gun, and gold-wash the cylinder/trigger/hammer and throw away those lovely, beautiful plain walnut grips in favor on plastic burnt oranges one so here we are today haha. Finish is rough with the pitting as seen, but this is a shooter for sure! I have shot about 100 rounds through her so far, she is a lot more accurate than I am. Chambered for the .45 ACP round, can be shot with moon clips or you can just drop the rounds in and shake 'em/poke them out with a pencil. Located in Nashville, TN. $300 dollars takes it.

Sten used by resistance

Less than 25 percent probably more like 10 percent People talk the talk but very rarely walk it My parents used to tell me always buy made in the USA but of course now that's so muddied up with assembled in the USA etc it takes work to find true made here items

I got back from the garage and I have two silver 1911 standard guide rods. I will be happy to give you one of them. Just send me a message when you would like to meet up at say Top Gun and I will be there.

Drums, guitars, singers, writing your own music. Not like all this current garbage that will be forgotten in a week. I watched about 10 minutes of the Grammy nominations last night because the wife had it on. ugh...

You have great taste!

Us: Look me in the eyes and tell me you aren't buying more shoes, makeup, and useless trinkets that will not feed us or protect us.

Thanks @Dawg1998 FYI, I'm not sure you'll remember me, but I purchased a Noveske flaming pig off you several years ago. For everyone else, good guy, deal with confidence.

Pm sent!

I’m in Nashville all tomorrow! Pm if interested

Interested in this ammo as well as the 223 and not far from your area Pm me and we can work out a time/place

I'm interested in seeing pics of the 700 SPS for sure.

If ya’ll haven’t been to the recently opened Thompson Station Armory, do yourself a favor and go check it out! Jonathan has great taste in firearms, optics and accessories … could not be more hospitable especially for a gun store. His store has unity fast mounts in stock, Aimpoint, Eotech, holosuns, magnifiers, etc.. in stock. Got to hold a Q mini fix today chambered in .300BLK and was wowed with the execution. He even has the famed honey badger in stock and I’ve never been able to hold one and appreciate the innovation. He has several high end brands and models that you just don’t see every day: HK, B&T, Q, Christensen, Proof, etc.. The highlight was holding the insanely cool B&T folder that looks like a mini briefcase and folds out into a SBR. Why do I take the time to write this? Well if we don’t support local business then they fail. A dollar spent with a local business circulates 2-3x more than if we do business with a large retailer or out of state.

I’m enjoying these answers while I think about a discussion in the benefactor lounge. I’ll maintain very few people are willing to pay pennies more for anything. I know we are talking about products, but all one has to do is look at the bellyaching anytime fuel or groceries go up. I believe the majority of Americans would balk at the idea of purchasing something at a 10% or higher price point, just to buy American, regardless of the product. People don’t want to pay 10% more put food in their mouths or gas into the automobiles that take them to earn their livelihood. I doubt they’re willing to pay a premium for anything else.

Channellock claims their pliers and screwdrivers are 100% American made, while they claim their sockets are made in Taiwan and wrenches are Spanish. I assume they are telling the truth. I started having problems with Craftsman pliers years ago (while they were still supposedly American made) and got a couple Channellocks. I never looked back. All their stuff is affordable (a bit more expensive than the cheap Chinese stuff, but way cheaper than Snap-On etc.). I am no mechanic and use them for basic stuff (screwdrivers/sockets/pliers/wrenches), but they have held up well. I think they fill the role of old-school Craftsman tools.

I like most of what Mike Rowe says. I do make an effort to buy American when it's possible and reasonable. I've been shopping for tires, I'll need 2 vehicle's worth this year and I intend to buy some made in the US. Tirerack.com typically lists country of origin, though I'm not likely to buy from them. We also bought new washer/dryer a couple years ago and paid a little more for made in USA. $100 for jeans or a hoodie is pretty steep in my opinion. Other stuff, a "made in USA" tag will influence my decision.

That more applies to the modular cans. Instead of buying 10 dedicated cans, you can buy 2 and a pile of accessories to get the same outcome and since the accessories aren't NFA items, it makes things a bit easier and less time consuming. Once you have them, cans are super low maintenance.

It’s getting harder to see with tools. Fluke says they’re made in the US but I’m pretty certain my meter is made in Malaysia. For channel locks I’ll give the Germans my money, knipex take a beating daily and are most comfortable in my hands. I think I’m on the side of BigK where I do care but it’s hard to do the legwork. And unfortunately if it’s a one off tool that I rarely use and need quick I’m going with the cheapest I can find until it breaks and needs replacement/upgrade.

When the economy was genuinely better, more people probably would've spent a little extra for US made because they could afford to. Nowadays people's budgets are tighter than ever so they are ultimately price driven and country of origin isn't even a thought.

I sometimes go out of my way to avoid buying anything Chinese, but sometimes, it's unavoidable. Occasionally, China makes superior stuff.

A MARLIN LEVER ACTION COLLECTOR NEEDS THIS!!

I just buy what I want/need. I very seldom give any thought to where it was made. I’d rather not buy crap made in China, but that would require a lot more effort than I’m willing to put in it.

Fine, if we're goin IT

I can almost hear the faxtones.
