You have no idea of the BS & redtape & extra cost involved with dealing with US makers .
I do , as I have Imported Rifle actions & barrels for a few yrs , 5 yrs ago , no problem , But now its virtually to expensive & lenghtly in time ( redtape ) .
So now I look at actions & barrels from the UK & Germany , instead of the US ( Surgeon & Bartlein ).
Imagine that you are looking at buying a canted base for your LR Rifle , the mount is made outside the US , so you think , NICE , no problems , only to be told that it use's US made torq screws , and as such they cannot supply , NOW thats really mind bending stuff , of which , NO one inside the US ever knows about , hears about or has to deal with .
I have said this before , a lot of stuff is being made out side the US , due in most to the US requirements on Exporting .
I thank GOD , that AI rifles are made in England & S&B are made in Germany , every day .

At first it really pissed me off as well that we had that much red tape importing US made gear that it became impossibly to get hold of. But because of this and the weak £ more and more is now made outside the US and we are beginning to get a manufacturing base back in this country again which can only be a good thing.
I do now make an effort to by UK made goods or source from the EU as I need a consistant supply. I'm not in any way anti USA but you can't get away from the fact that this only started during the WOT and we are your allies.
I think as with a lot off media you don't hear the full story. I've not a clue which other countries are in Iraq other than UK and US as the media don't report it and I suspect in the US many don't know the UK are involved!
