Yes it appears they do make 1911 pattern semi's as well. I will add that to the list. Thanks.

Their SA revolver that uses .45ACP without moon clips is neat. They just space off the case just like when in a 1911 barrel. I guess they can do this because they have the ejector rod that punches the cases out.

"rifles and shotguns are on the list but mainly handguns"
Click to expand...

That was on post #1 and referred to the fact that the original starting list did have some rifles listed, but It was stated many times after that that we would limit to handguns.

I need help on that one. I cannot find verification either way.

Rock river no longer makes pistols either????????????????

It appears they do make custom 1911's. I found that jsut recently on their web site, but I can look again.
 
I believe that Coonan Arms .357 autos were made in the U.S. They have been out of production but I understand that Dan Coonan is positioning himself to start manufacturing again.

OK, but I think they should start again to be on the list. I hope the do, the more the better.:)
 
This is the way the orginal sentence was on post#1.
Rifles & shotguns are on the list but I am mainly talking about handguns.

Buckmark

I can find the Buckmark on the Browning web site with no problem. And yes it says Morgan Utah. I think the guns do say made in USA, but that can happen even when made from pre-machined parts. I still cannot find any data that says Buckmark's are completely made at the Utah facility. That means machining all the major components from raw material.
 
According to the *2007* Gun Digest, here are some more possible inclusions. Don't know if these are still in production, but the book definitely states "Made in USA".

Not in the the book but a locally manufactured (Western WA) handgun was the Alchemy Arms Spectre, which is a sort of melding between a 1911 and a Glock. I don't know that this handgun is still in production though.

Also, regarding Beretta, 2007 Gun Digest seems to think pretty much the entire Beretta line-up is American made (don't know their definition of "American made").


Accu-Tek (AT-380 II)

Enterprise (1911s)

Excel Arms (rimfire magnums)

Olympics Arms (1911s and OA-93/98 AR pistol)

Wilkinson Arms (Sherry & Linda mouse guns)

Magnum Research BFR (big bore SA revolver)

E.A. Brown (Classic Single Shot Pistol)

Sub MOA, That's the problem...at least for this list. I worked all my life for large in manufacturing companies, and I know the American made stamp does not mean all the components are made in America. It's does meet legal standards for a plant to do complete assemble using some major parts made outside the USA and then say it is "made in America". But our rules for this list are more strict.

I think Beretta makes their main components such as slides in their European plants. Yes they have a USA plant, but they never say they do complete machining at that plant.

I will check on the others you list. Thanks.
 
Accu-Tek (AT-380 II) & Excel look good, but I think they are the same company. So I will list under the Excel name..they appear to be the parent co.

Enterprise (1911s), not finding anything.

Still checking the others.

Olympics Arms yes for custom 1911's.

Wilkinson Arms (Sherry & Linda mouse guns) Not finding much.

Magnum Research, yes.

E.A. Brown (Classic Single Shot Pistol) They look to be a distributor and make some parts. Still looking. Still not seeing where they make complete handguns on site.
