I’m really impressed with American ingenuity in the shooting industry. I’ve been seeing awesome products developed & made in the USA. I have 2 I want to show off if that is permitted and maybe mention a couple of others. I’m almost finished redoing my reloading shop using products produced by Inline Fabrication. The quality and pride put into his work is amazing. The exact opposite you see from China. Probably everyone has heard of and seen his products, but maybe there are a few that haven’t seen them in use.
The 2 main products I’m making use of here are his wall organizer system and quick change press & accessories mounts. Hope the pics are self explanatory.
Gotta push the Giraud case trimmer also. Made in USA with pride & quality.

I'll complement you on your plan to buy American. Thats something that all of us should try to do. But its going to be a challenge. Theres just too much of our manufacturing that has left our Country and I expect Biden & Harris to give even more of it away.

I like your room and benches!

Sorry for going all political on you.

Don’t worry about the political stuff. It’s a reality. Trump was bringing more back, but like you I expect that to change. Thanks for the compliment. What I was hoping to show is how his quick change system helps me do more with a smaller space. If you see the pic with press, priming tool,& bench vice; I can install them in less than a minute on that flat back plate you see. An example would be swapping out the priming tool to the vise and going to work on an ar10 or ar15 platform. Also I had shelves where I have his wall organizer. It’s a big help keeping stuff separated and more difficult to turn over than the shelf.
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas!
 
I love buying American. The only thing I like better is buying old used American at a good price from a individual. I’m a poor though and kinda curious, what you do with your old Chinese stuff?

I’m also don’t have the ability to buy without patience and budgeting. my stuff made in China like the Hornady tools in the pic I plan on selling. I don’t think I can sell on here. I mostly just looked, read, & learned at 1st. Just recently I’ve been posting more. I think you need 100 messages to sell.

on Hornady; I think they have a very good engineering team and maybe the best marketing team in the industry. My dislike of my hornady tools is in addition to being made in China (could be wrong) they are the only steel in my reloading shop that rusts easily.

my wife is a garage sale junkie and occasionally she’ll find just what you described.

Firearms people I find to be fair and for the most part honest.
As I’ve slowly been upgrading my reloading equipment I’ve noticed so many shooters instead of relying on mass produced equipment have either developed brand new ways of doing things while many, many others have developed improvements over the older versions of tools. I think it just me opening my eyes and looking, because it’s been going on for a long time. While reading I run across Neil Jones, Harrell’s, etc. They definitely are not new! I started reloading for accuracy ~ 45 years ago then got so busy with work & family I was away from it for a long time until about 5 years ago When I stopped working.
I agree on Firearms people. They are some of the people who are the backbone of what made America great. Not people looking for everything to be given to them.
