10/22 being made in China?

[3dmark]

I heard on the weekend from a fairly reliable source that the 10/22 production has been moved to china.

Anyone else heard this ?

I would question the reliability of your reliable source.

I would question the reliability of your reliable source.

The only 2 sources I'd trust right about now would be: Michael O Fifer and Yin Jiaxu There's no way that's happening.. Not that I overestimate Ruger's altruism or underestimate corporate greed, but Chinese-made guns cannot be sold in the US. It's the law. You know, the US - the biggest gun market in the world? Yeah, those guys.

Gimme 5. I'm gonna set the cruise control on my Winnabego, go make a sandwich, and I'll do some fact checking as soon as I get back.

Everything is made in China.

They make a 10-22 clone in China or they did. They sold for about $50 bucks less then a real 10-22 at the time.

Everything is made in China.

New guns sold in the US are not. It's the law.

Everything is made in China.

What isn't, soon will be!

Was the guy who told you that behind a counter?

Likely meant Asia in the Philippines by Armscor. It's a 10/22 clone.

 

[3dmark]

LOL

Nope not behind a counter. Just telling you what I was told.

Didnt say I believed it.

I thought they were made at Chernobyl. Isn't that why they glow in the dark?

The H&R Pardner Pump Compact / NP1-2S1 / Blued / 3in Chamber / Drilled / Tapped for $239.00 IS made by Norinco for the U.S. It is available from The Gun Dealer in N.B. I have one and no problems as yet. They are in stock as of last weekend.

I doubt it, the aftermarket upgrade companies would stop investing in Ruger then
