“I would encourage others using Amazon...”

Country of origin is a common question in the “Have a question?” section for each product.

Is the phrase “Made in America” on a product generally believable?

It should be the law that place of origin has to be clearly disclosed on everything sold online. This would go far to voluntarily reducing trade with China

When I see comments on Amazon of people claiming that their Magpul item came from China, I know that there are counterfeits being sold there. I never buy anything firearm related from Amazon for that reason.

Amazon = China. It’s the retail outlet for the CCP.

FWIW, There’s a browser plug in that will identify Country of origin on Amazon.

Can’t recall the name.

By advised, some products may suggest USA as the corporate seller, but the product itself could still be made elsewhere.

Lots of stuff on Amazon are chinese knockoffs of American goods. Whenever possible, I buy American-made stuff, particularly 2A gear, from other retailers.

I had never even heard the term “range bag”, but I did a search:

I’ve noticed a lot of “imported” origins of late. Not touching anything I dont know where it came from.

One option is using Overstock.com.

Another is using 2ndvote.com to find vendors who share your values and are located in the United States.

For range bags, I’d say Lynx Defense.

In the search box, I add made in USA to the item I’m looking for.

amazon makes it really difficult to determine country of origin. I simply assume china unless it specifically says ‘made in america’. I look for it specifically. Often, if it’s MiA, it’ll say so, loudly.

I think Bagmaster is an American-made brand.
