just recently went through my “inventory” and was rather surprised that I didn’t own a single firearm made in USofA or even North America until recently.
How ever I do have ones made in
Russia (CCCP)
Czechoslovakia both pre and post iron curtain
Belgium
England
China
Turkey
Germany
Yugoslavia
Switzerland
Philippines
Hell even my AR15 was made in China but I did manage to break down and buy US and that was my “Real” Armalite M15A2
and tomorrow I am picking up two more Czech guns…

Get yourself a lever action Winchester, then you’ll have an American firearm.

There are some awesome guns that are foreign though. I don’t discriminate against guns

And I think most of mine are USA built. I recently bought a B&T GHM9 because I’ve lusted after a Swiss gun after having seen the SIG AMT and having fired a P210 decades ago. I didn’t buy US made deliberately over the decades, it just happened.

Whoops, I recently bought a PPQ, but that might also be a made in USA gun and not from Germany. The design is purely German though.

Sounds like you have an awesome collection. I’m curious to know what firearms you have from each of those countries. And I’m guessing the Philippine firearm is probably a Rock Island 1911?

I only have two foreign made firearms (three if you count my wife’s Argentine made Bersa Thunder). One is a 1938 Tula-made Mosin Nagant and the other is an Austrian-made Glock 34. I have a relatively small collection of firearms, though.

the Philippine’s is the M5 Shotgun - At the moment the highest number being from Russia (TT-33s and sks), Czech (CZ 75 SA, CZ 75, P10, Shadow 2, than Turkey (2 Girsans, Canik and a shotgun), China (Browning SA22 clone, a Kar98 22 clone, CQ-A (10.5" M4 clone) and the P762 pistol), Germany - PPQ sd, P99, Kar98/Yugo, with 2 Yugo M57s and the M84 Skorpion, ending with the Swiss Sphinx and the Armalite M15A2
Forgot the 2 FN GP35s and Webley Mk4s and Enfield No2
So last count 26 pistols and 6 long guns.
But I did own a Colt Government 1911 in 38super many years ago.
