.22 StingAir Western .22/21.9gr

Love my AF. Barrels and bottle are both foreign I believe. My Talon bottle was from China. LW German barrel.

I meant all are made in America, down in the heart of Texas. Was more a response to the "only Western Airguns and AAA".

There a few that are made in America, but 100% made in America is a short list. Bushbuck, American Air Arms (I think gauges are foreign but they could be deleted) are the two exclusively USA made production rifles. In custom shops you have a couple scattered across the US but a few have gone under that existed a few years ago. Not production but custom, there is also one that comes to mind called Thomas Rifles (beautiful guns).

But AF's most important part, the barrel, is German, and the bottles are sourced largely in Asia as most CF and aluminium bottles (usually China or South Korea). I love Lother walther barrels so I'm glad they use them.

For other companies like AF that are Made in the US with parts from abroad you also have Crosman-Benjamin, Skout Airguns, and maybe I am missing some others but those are the two majors I can think of outside of AF. On custom side of USA made with globally sourced parts you have Pitbull variants, a few FT guys that make custom rifles off of Benjamin platforms, and so on.

It would be an interesting thread to list the manufacturing sources for every brand across the spectrum. The global economy dictates a lot of parts are made from different areas of the globe. Being made in one place is nearly impossible without being a wizard to be honest.
