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.

Had this less than a year, maybe 150 shells through it. Excellent condition, runs like a top, I just like my Beretta better. I added weight to the stock and forend (1 inch stainless rod), I can remove if desired. Includes all shims, chokes and manual. Pretty sure I still have the box. https://www.franchiusa.com/semi-auto-shotguns/affinity-3-sporting $850 in the Hendersonville/Goodlettsville area.

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.

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.

From a budget perspective, that logic applies. If budget isn't a concern, throwing in a rimfire can along with another, since they are relatively cheap, also makes sense. My first can purchase, I bought 5, including a rimfire can. Buying them in batches, if you have the means, is the way.

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 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.

Except cars lol

Low single digits at best. All kinds of people would say they support it. But peoples’ budgets are tight. I just don’t think we’d see it at the cash register. That’s not to say you can’t be successful as an American brand. You certainly can. But the quality has to be there - especially at a price premium.

Wish I had the space for it. That would definitely be one to put up for posterity. Very nice!!!
