American Made….
« on: April 27, 2009, 02:38:43 AM »
If a Crosman Storm XT gets a Turbo Tune plus a GRT III trigger, what percentage would a "Made in China" springer become American made.  Furthermore is the stock from an American wood and/or do the stocks come from America once assembled in China.  I guess the metal has alot to do with the equation as well.



Gamo Shadow Sport (.177)
GRT III Trigger
Stuffed Butt Stock
Guitar Sling
AO 4-16x40mm Center Point  
Crossman Premier Hollow Point (7.9 gr)

It will never, IMHO, be American made.  I knew a guy who dropped a VW bug body on a 60's Corvette chassis and motor.  We didn't call it a Corvette.

It becomes a tuned Chinese gun.lol. My B26 has Macarri, Weihrauch and British custom parts, so is this an intercontinental gun?
