I used to have a Miroku,Japanese .22 rifle.The same gun from the same factory was sold in the USA called Browning
Consumer sentiment is a strange thing.
My Harley[AMF]Had many Japanese parts.
My Triumph was half made in Thailand.




Should buy a real American Henry rifle their motto is "Made In America or not made at all" every part of their rifle is made in USA from American sourced steel and wood. The quality is outstanding from their most expensive $3,400 original engraved series 44-40 to their basic little $360 22 lever action rifles.

I've got 2 Harley Davidsons now and have visited the headquarters, museum and engine plant in Wisconsin and the assembly plant in Kansas City Mo, the other plant is in Pennsylvania. The plant actually forms, welds and paints the tanks frames and fenders from American made steel. Of course some parts like the suspension forks and shocks are supplied by Showa a Japanese company and Harley of course does not make things like ball bearings so they buy them from quality suppliers who may or may not make them in the U.S. But to say well see that small part right there is from a supplier therefore Harelys aren't American made is very weak indeed.

And this buyer's "sentiment" is that I want an original product that is what it says it is not a Triumph emblem on a Bonneville that was made in Thailand. That's why my next Triumph would be a Thunderbird because they are still actually made in England and therefore are the real thing. Even if they might have some German bearings or Japanese shocks.
