I would also buy their rem 870 knockoff before I would buy a actual rem 870. I would buy a Norinco mak 90 over any of these 'American' made Ak's in a heart beat. Like their SKS's for example, and they're a Chinese company. Norinco makes some of the best quality AK's on the market, they also make other quality firearms. Because, is it really cheaper to buy Chinese-made parts several times over buying a higher priced quality part just once? 'Buy once, cry once' as the saying goes when trying to save money. It's too bad USA uses China as a basis for comparing prices, but never quality. So why would Americans even compare our quality products to China? We shouldn't.Ĭhinese manufacturing techniques are a lot less stringent compared to US standards and tolerances. Aerospace, aviation, automotive or the electronics industry don't, so why should firearms be any different? Ever heard the saying 'German engineering?' You won't hear Germans comparing their products to China. There's a reason not many Countries use China as the standard for manufacturing of quality products. Buy quality so you only buy once, you'll support American businesses, and you'll have something to be proud of.

I don't think anyone here is dogging on you, we're just trying to bring you into the light. design, engineering, marketing, machining time, overhead, it all costs money, and as the saying goes, it costs money to make money. My Centurion CMR I had on one of my rifles cost $300. On average, I think most CalGunners probably spend on average $250+ on their hardware. If you think $130+ is expensive, you've got another thing coming.

But Not to mention if you buy something U.S made, you're supporting an American company and you're voting with your dollars. I work in manufacturing (not claiming I'm an expert) but I see VAST differences in fit, finish, tolerances, and even all the way down to the metallurgy itself when dealing with Chinese castings vs American Castings (We only buy Chinese if we're in a huge rut and need to get product out the door, Luckily we have a cast upgrade department for that exact reason).
