According to the Leapers (UTG) web page these are the UTG products made in the US >
UTG Products Made In the USA < only 24 products US made according to their web page. There is not a A2 Butt stock kit or buffer tube shown among their U.S. made products. Although it shows 24 products, its not actually 24 fully made in the U.S., two are actually only assembled in the U.S but it says some of the assembly parts are U.S. made.
The only A2 butt stock assembly they show on their web pages (supposedly for real gun parts) is the
Model 15 Standard A2 Butt Stock Assembly - Black > its not Mil spec'd, commercial spec'd, or any other spec, and is not (according to their web pages), as someone wanted to point out in reference to UTG products, U.S. made. They don't sell a separate A2 stock buffer tube, they do sell the 6 position extension tubes for a collapsable stock. I can only infer from their web page of US made products, and looking at the description for the A2 butt stock kit no where does it say U.S made like the other U.S made products, that the A2 butt stock kit is not US made so its not correct that UTG products are U.S. made but rather that only 24 items of their entire product line is U.S. made or assembled in the US. with some U.S. made parts.

They don't even say the tube is made from a weapons grade or aircraft grade aluminum which is the standard as a minimum with some parts. Its a cheaply made foreign import knockoff made from inferior materials, thats the reason the price is so low. Might be suited to the airsoft crowd but it does not belong on real weapons. Unknown manufacturing origin, unknown manufacturing quality standards, unknown specification standard, unknown reliability, unknown testing or proofing standards, unknown materials standards, unknown quality control standards, unknown reliability or durability indications.
Its cheap though and some anonymous person somewhere on the internet said it worked for them, so that must mean its a good thing .... right?
Being made in the U.S. or not is not a factor, there are plenty of weapons parts not U.S. made that are good quality weapons parts but this is something else. I find references on the 'net to this product failing on others too. If UTG had any sense of responsibility they would pull this product and do a product recall at a minimum.
