Disappointed with RCBS

[troyboy]

I am very disappointed with RCBS and here is why. A vld rifle deburring tool was ordered for the RCBS case prep center last week from Midway. When it arrived the label said made in China. I accept that electronic things are Chinese but not tooling. Evidently further diligence is required with RCBS then was previously thought to be the case.

& I'm sure you got it for a good price ...Correct?

[VHoward]

And it's backed by the RCBS "No BS" warranty?

Hi,
I understand. but I'm over it!

Weve been sold down the river by our greedy Politicians and Wall Street!

[waltherboy4040]

I am hoping their other stuff like dies and case trimmers isn't made there. I suppose it is hard to stay profitable with the type of warranty they have.

[IllinoisCoyoteHunter]

It's probably hard to stay profitable with the type of government we have.

The computer the OP posted with is probably made in China, too...............

[Smoke4320]

it will not be long before our bandwidth comes from China :]

RCBS has been outsourcing from China for a while.

I understand the frustration with buying tooling made in China; I would prefer made in the USA, but.......RCBS has been a great company to deal with for 50 years IMHO. No matter where an RCBS product is made they stand behind their stuff 110%. I love my made in the USA Starrett micrometers and dial calipers; the quality and attention to detail is second to none..but for most reloading operations I have to admit that the made in China copies work pretty well at a greatly reduced cost...I applaud a company like RCBS for standing behind their products 100% wherever they happen to be made. Just my 2 cents worth....

That is absolutely true but it has been going on all my adult life. It is nothing new.

And. it is not RCBS's fault that Washington has made it so difficult to do business of any kind in this country.

[jakharath]

For several years now their cast reloading press frames have been Chinese. Seem to remember that they were 'finished' in the states.

I like American made too, but it's not productive to go around villainizing everyone who uses China. It's not RCBS's fault, or even Wal-Mart's.

It's a government problem; we have all the resources, natural and human, to do almost all our manufacturing here, but taxes are too high.

The alternative is for RCBS to price itself out of the market and go out of business, or more likely be bought by a company that does more outsourcing.

Add to that environmental regulations and low wages elsewhere.

Hi,
Don't worry fellas!

The way things are going we will be a "Third World" country soon and can manufacture here as well as overseas!

Wages will be nothing of course!!!

Thank you, Obozo!

Already happened. They are not an independently owned and operated company. And let's realize that a company can make these tools in the US using US made raw materials and sell them for less than RCBS does.

I fully understand the regulatory problems we have here. But there are companies making everything here so there is no reason RCBS can't.

You must also remember that these small parts are better made in Asian countries because their people and child laborers have smaller hands than we do!Robert

[Ranger 7]

Lets get down to the basics: If people really preferred to buy American and preserve American jobs, they should only buy American.
All the companies would get the message very quickly!

[troyboy]

I buy what I want. When possible AMERICAN MADE. Have for years. Just trying to advise not start a political debate. If big green is going Chinese then my money will go to the other 4. Gold standard warranty or not.

[MT Chambers]

I agree, if it's true, they are off my list......Redding remains on top.
