I've not heard of either one. Where are they? And what do they make?

Both manufacturers make ARs, among other things. Anderson is a low-cost AR manufacturer (is kinda their whole thing, been around a hot minute) in Henderson, KY, and Faxon is in Cincinatti, OH and makes ARs (as well as parts and accessories - a bit flashy for my tastes, but apparently they shoot) and 10/22-pattern rifles and associated parts/accessories (again, a bit gaudy looking for my liking, and this is coming from the guy who actually debated on powder coating his PRS rifle's barrel metallic red as a joke). Apparently Faxon has a rimfire pistol I've neither seen nor known about until I looked them up recently.

Faxon makes the ARAK rifles along with ARs. They machine all manner of AR barrels. They make Springfield Armory M1A barrels. A line of Glock pistol barrels. Tactical shotgun barrels. Ported hybrid comp barrels for 1911s. A huge manufacturer of US M4 barrels, Lone Wolf Glock slides. Oh and, those GMLRS missles being used in Ukraine for HIMARs. M270 and M242 both. Bombs of 500 pound to 2,000 pound bunker busters. Really cool stuff. They machine some gigantic parts, non weapons related. Quite a company.

Henry rifles is in the bustling metropolis of Rice Lake WI (Pop. 9K or so) which is not too far from the Yoop.

Do Desert Tech, Christensen Arms, and Robinson Arms count? Barnes Bullets is close by too.

Sig in Epping NH is 50 Miles +/-

Kahr Arms in Worcester is also 50 +/- miles as the crow flies about 60 Miles driving.

Heckler & Koch (Oberndorf am Neckar) is about 70 miles from my place.
Walther in Ulm/Donau about 80 miles.

The FN plant in Columbia is less than 100 miles, and they have announced a plant in Liberty, which is less than 50 miles.

Sig Sauer to the south, Windham Weaponry to the North.

If I did - I would shop at the factory outlet/seconds store every week....

Hey - they have them for candy, car batteries and sneakers - I can dream!

Ithaca. I live around 20 miles from Upper.

Nope. They've all been driven out of my state.

Henry Firearms of all Places, Bayonne, NJ. There are many defunct artillery and cannonball producers, during the revolutionary years, all throughout the Pine Barrens.

Same here. Woodstock to Glock is pretty close.

S&W had a facility in Columbia, MO - but I believe they have closed or moved it.

CMMG is within the 50 mile zone, and both Midway USA and Graf's Reloading Superstore (Graf & Sons) are within the radius as well.

I checked "yes", assuming New Ultralight Arms produces over 500 per year.

Forgot about a few of those, Spikes is 17 miles in a car,

Spike's is about five minutes from my house.

I needed a small part for an AR from a different manufacturer, so I stopped in to see if Spike's would sell it to me.

They refused to sell the part; they just gave it to me. Nice dudes there!

Weatherby was less than 50 miles but they escaped to Wyoming. Hogue is still close but they make accessories.

I think so. I forgot about those two manufacturers. My brother in law used to work at Barnes Bullets. That manufacturer has excellent QC.

Ruger has a plant in Mayodan NC. About 40 miles or so. Never have figured out where exactly the plant is. Rem LE and TAC used to be in Mayodan as well, until they became defunct.
