OH good lord yes, it's amazing they did so well with stuff coming from all over. Then again, many European makers have centuries of background. Sadly, I've seen 'American Made' that would take 2nd place to any of them.Colorado Clyde said:If I recall correctly, CVA has had numerous manufacturers of the years....
Jukar, Dikar, Ardesa, ....I think even Euroarms made some....

A quick review, if the ramrod is junk, so is the gun!
