American Flag Featured Image for American Made Guns

In your search for a firearm, you may notice that many of the top brands such as Glock and Beretta are foreign-made firearms. Although many of these foreign gun makers now have manufacturing facilities in the United States, you may be looking for a genuinely American-made firearm to add to your collection.

When you are looking for a new firearm you can purchase it anywhere as long as they are allowed to be selling them. For many of the top firearm brands,  Federal Firearms is listed as an authorized local gun store on their websites.

Some of the top gun manufacturers are located right here in the U.S., including:

Mossberg: Shotgun Master

Mossberg has been around for over 100 years providing high-quality firearms. Founded in 1866 in Sweden, Mossberg came to the U.S. at the age of 20. After a few jobs working for other gun makers and after World War I, Mossberg established his success with The Brownie .22 pistol.

After the launch of The Brownie, the company’s success continued to grow. During World War II, Mossberg secured a contract from the British and U.S. Military for guns and gun parts. After the War ended, Mossberg introduced their well-known Mossberg 500 pump-action shotgun in 1960.

Currently, Mossberg builds a wide selection of rifles and even offers a handgun. That being said the shotgun remains at the forefront of their firearm offerings. The Mossberg shotgun is a popular option with hunters, military members, law enforcement, and citizens looking for a self-defense weapon.

Remmington products can be found in some of the big box stores as well as your local gun store. However, most big box stores will not have the knowledge and care that smaller local businesses will have.

Remington: Triple Threat of Firearms

Founded in 1916, Remington is the oldest gunmaker in America. Eliphalet Remington founded the company believing that he could provide a better gun than what the market offered at the time. He first designed a flintlock rifle that launched his business into a success.

In today’s market, Remington offers everything from rifles to handguns. They are known for their rifles and shotguns, such as the Remington 700 rifle and the 870 shotgun. This shotgun is extremely popular with hunters. The Armed Service has also used the 700 as a reliable sniper rifle for many years. Remington also owns Bushmaster and Marlin. Remmington carries other non-firearm products that you can purchase pretty much anywhere, however, your best bet finding one of their rifles will be your local gun store.

Sturm, Ruger & Co.: Concealed Carry Champ

Sturm, Ruger & Co. was founded in 1949 in Connecticut by Alexander Strum and William Ruger. This company is now known as Ruger. Ruger is the manufacturer of one of the most popular rimfire guns globally, the Ruger 10/22. Their MK series of .22 pistols are also the most popular rimfire handguns.
