Between guns made in Turkey and parts from China it sure would be reassuring to know that all the workers (not executives) in Bloomfield NY still have their jobs.

I think there are plenty of valid reasons to be suspicious of the Made In USA label, but given all the public displays of China’s honesty and integrity over the last couple of years doesn’t it seem ironic to ANYONE that no one here is questioning the honesty and integrity of the Made In China label?

They do! Once the cost of manufacturing a product in the USA gets too high, they send it to, guess where, where the manufacturing cost is maybe 10 percent of what it costs to make here. Funny, the company charges us the same price while the CEO still gets his fat salary.

Look at the American vehicles with a lot of imported components. At least some of the Benjamin/Crosman items are assembled here with some domestic components.

If over 50% of the product is made in the US, or the components are assembled in the US, then it can be labeled
" made in the usa" ....Lots of ways for companies to get around labeling....
If you recall, just a few years back, GM made a public statement that they were proud to say 95% of there vehicle parts were made outside the USA !! Yet they advertise american made....

Not any more. The FTC rules state a product must be “all or virtually all” made in the US.
Complying with the Made in USA Standard
Do you promote your products as “Made in the USA”? Under the law, some products must disclose U.S. content. For others, manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content need to know about the FTC’s Made in USA Labeling Rule and Enforcement Policy Statement...

All,
The Marauder is made here in Upstate NY in our Bloomfield facility. The rifles are comprised of parts both foreign and domestic. LW barrels are from Europe and our barrels are made right here in house. We also make the pressure tubes and trigger packs here in our CNC machines. The breech is sourced from local vendors as is the valve and other parts. There are some parts from China like the gauge, O-rings fill nipple among others.
The final assembly and testing is all done here in NY. I hope that clears up any confusion.
