I have six Mosin-Nagants of various flavors: 1917 M91 Russian; M44 Hungarian; M44 Polish; 1936 M91/30 Modified; 2 Chinese M44. Plus one Polish P64. Only American is a new SCCY CPX-2.
 
Palolosj Are you sure I thought New York seceded from the union and became a socialist country or am I thinking of California, :scrutiny:
Then again maybe I'm reading into the future.:uhoh:

Made in Deer Park NY. Just came back from chilin' several days in Flushing NY. Great place if you can get used to low flying passenger jets.
 
Just because it has a FAMOUS American MFG name, doesn't mean it's made in America:
Assembled here, American based factory, outsourced.
Anyhow just off the top, I guess I have about 5 foreigners maybe 7.

Thats pretty cool, I would count that as US.

Ive wanted a Savage Enfield for a looooooong time, but just cant stomach adding .303 to my ammo dump. Someday, Ill pony up for a BSA .22, though!

That reminded me to change my Englishman to an Indian, its a .410 Ishapore.....

Mauser built rifles for Turkey, They are considered a Turkish rifle. The Finns captured rifles from Russia and marked them with the Finn [SA] army stamp, they are considered Finn rifles.
This one was built by Savage, remarked by New Zealand so, I consider it NZ.

I have a Colombian Mauser. I’ll have to take a picture of it.

Yep. But it is a rack rifle for training, not an issue rifle for an individual soldier or trainee. Thus it falls under a different accounting system, which requires a different set of markings..

Correct. But this is the only NZ marked rifle I’ve ever had my hands on.
 
Hmm... I had to think about this one for a bit. I’ll say the US is well represented, along with friends from Germany, England, Czech Republic, Spain, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, Brazil, Austria, Russia, Japan...I think that’s about it.... oh, I usta have a Filipino and a French pistol, too.

Stay safe!
 
Sig P6 ('01), pair of P228s ('94), Sauer 38H, CZ PCR, Spanish Star BM, .380 Russian Makarov, ...S&W M&P .22 (made by Walther).
"More than one ;) " AK clone, LE #5 "Jungle", two Romanian M-69 Trainers.

You might actually have a French handgun if you own an 'early' Post-war German handgun. "Hautrhin" etc. Most of you know this.

Hmmm...nearly all of my firearms are foreign, mostly German, a couple Czech, one from Belgium and one from Italy. I have an AR that's American made and a couple of Rugers. I imagine my Mossberg 500 was made here.
 
I've noticed in reading over the threads that European semiauto handguns are very prevalent. Makes me wonder if the 1911 and the love of revolvers somewhat retarded the development of the semi's by U.S. companies .
Also does anyone know if any of the Browning products are made here or do they all come from Japan? I think the Buckmarks are made in Utah but what about the rifles.

Were the FAL and G3 generally superior to the M14, yep.

FAL....maybe..... but I have a real problem with that unprotected rear sight just hanging out in the breeze. Waiting to be dropped on a hard surface and being bent or broken. It's amusing the way the Army kept changing the rules in the middle of the game while moving the goal posts at the same time.... until they finally found a way for the T-44 ( M-14 ) to beat the T-48 (FAL). The G-3? Forget it. Horrible trigger, empties ejected so forcefully they can and did occasionally injure the soldier to your right. Even worse that a 14 on full auto. Doesn't tell the firer it's empty. No thanks.

We have two T-48s in the museum that were actual trials guns, along with several T-44s in various stages of their evolution.
 
Wait, so my Sig P226 was made in New Hampshire? And my VP9 was assembled in Georgia from parts made in germany?

I guess I have one gun made in japan (Howa) and the rest in the US.

I'm hard pressed to think of a foreign company that could make a revolver as good as a Colt or Smith& Wesson.

Seriously?

I’m hard pressed to think of a Colt or Smith & Wesson that comes close to a Korth. Maybe an original Registered Magnum, but that’s it.

As far as a shooter is concerned, I give Korth the edge over all of them.

I've seen a Korth, way over my price point, more of a custom gun and while I've never handled or shot one I doubt if the quality, fit and finish could be better than my Colt Python or a M27 Smith.
In addition for the price of a Korth you should be able to swap out barrels like on my Dan Wesson.:p

Interesting.

I’ve got a lot of Pythons and have had multiple M27’s. Sorry, but they are nowhere near a Ratzeburg Korth in terms of quality and fit and finish, not to mention strength and durability.
