where about do you live?

I'm close to Neuhausen

The Ruger plant in Newport, NH is 55 miles from my location....

Like many, close but not that close. 60 miles or so to IWI in Middletown, PA.

If we're talking 50 miles as the crow flies, I have a bunch. (But via road, several of these are more like 55-65 miles.)

Wilson Combat/Scattergun Tech - Berryville, AR
Nighthawk Custom - Berryville, AR
Walther USA/Umarex - Fort Smith, AR
Black Rain Ordnance - Neosho, MO
Daisy (if BB guns count) - Rogers, AR

Wilson and Nighthawk for me as well. If we expand to ammo manufacturers, Fiocchi is right up the road in Ozark, MO.

Let's see:
-- Dakota Arms
-- H-S Precision
-- Black Hills Ammunition
-- Cor-Bon
-- Bar-Sto
-- Mack Brothers
and quite a few more

I live within 50 miles of where many gun manufacturers were. Not any more.
Have to edit my response, there are still some within range, but I think it's just "corporate" now, no manufacturing.
(Didn't think of them immediately because it's one of those it's 40 miles away, but a 160 mile drive to get there things)



There's theoretically still small ones, but they don't really make the guns there either.

In that region, but let's keep it that way.☺

Thanks for your participation.
Good to see the other countries adding

Bond Arms, Granbury, TX, 25 miles from me.

Radical Firearms in Stafford. I wouldn't call them "major" firearm manufacturer, although I have no ideas whether they churn out more than 500 guns per year.

Aero Precision is probably the closest, but who knows for how long given the acidic climate due to the anti-gun policies that are now in full effect in WA. Rainier Arms is closer and sometimes does their own builds, but they're mostly known as a retailer rather than a manufacturer proper. Besides, they've moved a lot of their operations out of state to Kansas, I believe.

Lionheart was even closer still, but they hightailed it to Georgia a while back. Quite the shrewd move in hindsight.

I saw this thread and decided to look up and see how far away the FN plant in Columbia was from me and found out they are or have built another plant in Liberty S.C. which is even nearer.... And of course there is Palmetto State Arms... not sure they are a 'major' manufacturer but they sure make a lot of guns, Glock clones and AR's.

I'm not sure on volume, but I could walk to Lancer Systems easily. I assumed they turn out more than 500 per year and voted yes.

I'm really close to AERO Precision, within the 50 mi radius for Olympic Arms, kinda close to ZEV/MEGA (very close to within 50 as the crow flies). I'm sure that all would love to be considered a major gun manufacturer. And as monoblok says, at least for now as this state shits on them all.

13 miles to Steyr but 8 miles as the crow flies.

I did, until Beretta moved production to Gallatin, TN. HK, FN, and a few others have offices within 50 miles of me but no production lines.

Noveske is 26 miles up the road. PAC NOR barrels is about 85 miles away on the coast, so I consider it local. They made me a sweet 243AI on a savage action that shoots .3” groups.

Radical puts out a lot more than 500 guns/yr, and they are a nationally known brand. While they're not one of the big players in the industry, they've moved well beyond fly-by-night machine shop operation, of which there are many in the AR world.

Yep, Desert tech is within the 50 mile limit. Several suppressor companies too since ethe ATF considers cans as firearms.
