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. $1975 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

Carried it once or twice, may have opened a single package. Still has factory edge that you could shave with. Comes with the complete kit. Got too many blades so I’m downsizing. For Specs: https://www.benchmade.com/products/273fe-2-mini-adamas? SOLD $180 cash FTF, will ship located in Spring Hill/Franklin

I have this bundle priced $1200-$1600 BELOW MSRP. Plus I have it listed as OBO as well.

I have the cheap version of this shotgun with the synthetic stock. Absolutely love it. This is priced to move. I would but it myself had I not made 2 big gun purchases in the past week.

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

Just came across this. For a couple more cents per round for brass case: ATS Ammo 7.62x39mm 124gr FMJ

If it is the same quality (assuming both are decent quality), I'm still paying the 10% to help Mary Sue in TN have a job vs. some third grader in Zingzang Factory No. 38.

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.

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.

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.

meanwhile, the drawer in your desk:

I can almost hear the faxtones.

I've lost track,,,did this already come up?

Themed metal lunchboxes.

These don't show too often and this one is in near mint condition. This Remington 742 woodmaster is as clean as you see them when you happen to find one. This will come with the attached scope.

Man I've enjoyed watching him over the years.

Strategic Edge I do believe .. if it doesn't sell I may be contacting you down the road .. just getting into long range shooting and seeing how I like it before I get a nicer build .. starting w a basic Rem 700

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