I have been trying to find more Texan made guns, and am having trouble. I know they are out there, but why cant I find them. I know about Larue, and I love their stuff. Thats exactly what Im looking for, a company who makes their stuff in house. Not just customizes finished products. Can you guys help me out? Im looking for anything, from shotguns, pistols, rifles, ARs, everything. Thanks in advanced STI up in Georgetown pretty much makes most of their 1911s and SAAs. http://www.stiguns.com/ What about companies that make only certain parts in house? There are several of those around here including Chip McCormick, Bassett Tool & Machine, etc. That's here in central Texas... over in Houston there is High Standard, although I don't know how much they make in house or whether they are mainly an assembler. http://www.highstandard.com/ Used to be American Derringer up in Waco... but it is my understanding they are mostly out of business now. http://www.amderringer.com/ |

Sorry, should have posted I know about STI. High Standard doesnt really make their own stuff. They import the 1911s, and get the AR15 stuff from suppliers, who I dont know. Atleast, thats what I was told about High Standard.
And holy shit, I did not know Infinity was made in Texas. Primary Arms is just a parts supplier it looks like, but still good to know they are around. Pearland is the other side of Houston for me, so a bit of a trip for parts but worth it if they have better stuff and deals than SOG Armory. Anyone who makes their own AR15s like Larue, or are they alone? Im looking for MFGs, not suppliers or anything. Thanks alot guys, getting lots of good info here. Its for my nephews project at school. Some class for politics and I talked him into doing a report on the 2nd Amendment and we are looking for Texas MFGs and all sorts of stuff. Keep it coming if there is anything else. Thanks again |

Does SOG actually make anything?
ETA - And I don't know what they might be making now, but I believe Elk River is the Houston based successor to Armory USA. |

S.O.G. I'm not sure if these are "made" in Texas. I bought an upper at a gun show with 'S.O.G Armory' markings, but then I couldn't find any info about the products on the website. The parts seem like good quality, and functionality and accuracy are excellent.

Thanks again You are right, Primary Arms is mainly accessories, not weapons themselves. Also IIRC a lot of the Primary Arms branded stuff is manufactured in China (*see disclaimer). Not knocking Marshal or PA (I love the red dot and 3x I got from them), just throwing that out there given the original question. * I can not say for sure that all of it is, but the 2 items I bought from him about 2 years ago were. |

SOG's receivers are made by JD Machine in San Diego. They have them marked "Made in Houston" even though its a total lie. They just use parts to piece "thier" rifles together.
Thanks again for all the info guys, lots of good stuff here. |

They buy receivers and barrels and parts from the mfgs that actually make those items and assemble their weapons in house. Armalite makes almost all of their stuff in house. They have Aero Precision forge the receivers from Armalite molds, and Armalite machines them in house. I believe Armalite makes everything in house except the stocks, handguards, and barrels. Everything else they make in house, on their on machines. They only have someone else do the forging of the receivers. Colt uses CMT I believe, who actually machines and finishes the receivers for Colt, and many others. I thought Larue did their own billets on their own machines? I know many companies only piece their stuff together, but not all of them. Armalite is one of the few. |
