ROFL!!!!
You ever look at a 240, or M9, maybe the Nelli M4 and I could go on and on. Maybe you should go back to the drawing board on that answer.</div></div> FNH-USA builds the M240 and M249s in Columbia, SC and is stamped on the left side of the receiver. Just double checked one of my 240's right now, but my M249's aren't marked with any manufacture location. Look here:
http://www.fnmfg.com/ The M9 on my hip is stamped "ACKK., Maryland-Made in USA". I have no idea on the M1014, but Benelli has a US branch too. It's been a while since I had one of those, and I don't remember what they're stamped.
I'm not involved in weapons procurement, so I don't know first hand the finer points of the laws and rules involved, but this is something that I've read and heard several times but it might only have been for certain procurement contracts.
Of course, I could be completely misinformed on the matter and therefore full of shit and guilty for passing on something that is actually just a rumor. As I said above, "Learn something new every day."
