I have a question on these chokes. And I know they are marketed by Primos. But does anyone know 100% sure that these chokes are made in the USA? I've got a hunch that they aren't.
And the same question goes for the Tight Wad chokes. I'm starting to believe that both of these chokes are in fact made in China, but I can't prove that. But I'm wondering if they are in fact made in the USA. Who in fact makes these chokes for Primos? That's what I want to know.
And please don't take this the wrong way. I have my reasons why I supsect what I said above.
Call Primos and ask em' :icon_thumright:

They wouldn't tell you the truth if they had to. No pun intended. :you_rock:
I would almost bet money that I am right, but I can't prove it. But like I said, I want to know who in fact makes these chokes for Primos. By contract I can tell you they won't disclose that info. But I have my reasons why I suspect what I said above.
So the next time someone starts talking bad about Tru-Glo chokes, they might want to whisper it if they have a Jelly Head choke. :z-paddy-smiley113:
I'm going to do some research on this, but the fact is no one knows for sure who is actually making these chokes above in the USA.
That makes me even more convinced that they are in fact made in China.
2 + 2 before :z-paddy-smiley113:
The one I picked up today (tightwad) for my girlfriend and the moss 500 20g. On the back of packaging it says MADE IN USA PRIMOS. So I hope it is as they say it is lol.

That just means where the company that is marketing it is. See if you can get Primos to say who machines these chokes. I can almost guarantee you they won't tell you the company that does. I know most choke manufacturers in the US, and none of them that I know are making this choke.
Think about it like this, if they were to put on the back of the package made in China how that would hurt the sell of these chokes. They aren't going to do that. If I can find out the name of the US company that is in fact machining these chokes, then I will eat crow. But all the info I have so far tells me they are made more than likely in China and marketed in the US by Primos. That's how they get by with the wording on the back of the package.
what does it matter?

Well I was just curious. But I have read some comments on here about other chokes and guys will make comments about them and buying American, and for the most part I do, but I think some are actually being misled about the Primos chokes and where they truly are made.
I know Indian Creek, Pure Gold, Trulock, Rhino, Kicks, Comp-n-Choke, Colonial Arms, Carlson's, Briley don't make them and we know Hastings sure don't for they went out of business.

Your cool. And I agree. But why give Tru-Glo such a hardway to go when these chokes probably ain't any better from where they are made. And guys just rant and rave about them. I guess I don't see the justice in it.
It's kind of like Bushnell scopes. Who makes Bushnell scopes? I can tell you for a fact that Bushnell doesn't. Bushnell doesn't actually own any factories or the people who makes scopes for Bushnell aren't getting paid by Bushnell. I ask this question years ago at a Bushnell forum and they refused to give me an answer. These people who makes these scopes for Bushnell aren't getting paid actually by Bushnell. They are actually contracting out the work to people they won't tell you about to make their scopes. The contracters are paying their employees not Bushnell. I learned that from a guy that I thought was nuts when he told me that. He was actually correct.
I know where you are coming from but JH's are great chokes for the money. I would rather them be made in the USA instead of China but if they are indeed made in China then so be it. Either way, it won't keep me from using the or recommending them to others.

And I can agree with that. But just passing on info that I have acquired from my thoughts and some other info I found out. Now I may be wrong, but if I am I want to be corrected by facts and not a package label that says made in the USA. The package label probably is correct that the package label is made in the USA.
I've never seen a post where one guy followed his own post with a post so many times in a row...
Do you know what it's called when you spread unsubstantiated information on the internet? Be careful

i read it twice and never saw anything that was spread, just thinking something is different than try to push bogus proof,so what is that called=inquiring mind maybe? never heard of asking a question being illegal
It is a pretty serious violation to print made in the USA when it is not.

I cant give any details, but the company that machines there chokes, do buy U.S. steel, and as far as who machines them. Lets just say that the"I Know" part of your previous statement is wrong.
"I know Indian Creek, Pure Gold, Trulock, Rhino, Kicks, Comp-n-Choke, Colonial Arms, Carlson's, Briley don't make them and we know Hastings sure don't for they went out of business"
