Just out of curiosity, has anyone tracked down AR makers to see if you can get one marked as made in every State of the Union?
Yes, yes, I know there are only a small number of actual makers, and the rest are marking variances, but could you have an AR from any/all States?
Lancer - PA right down the street from me.
Bought a BCM…
You can buy an 80% receiver and finish it, then mark it as the state you’re currently in. A lot of companies do that or outsource their lower forgings and mark them before selling.
That being said, I don’t think there are any AR lowers from Hawaii that are produced in any significant quantity.

Made this off the top of my head.
Added CMMG and SI Defense for MO and MT respectively.
I’m not sure if they make complete rifles, but STS makes lowers in Ogden, Utah
You can add Mega to WA
You could add Alexander Arms to VA
I thought Spikes is a Florida company?
You can add ADCOR to Maryland.
Baltimore, MD to be exact.
I think Wyndam Weaponry is out of Maine
War Sport Industries is based in North Caolina as well
While we’re at it, Detroit Gun Works, for MI.
Dirty Martin Arms is one in KS, not saying they’re worth a damn but they’re here…
Barnes outta NC as well
Double Star and Anderson are both from KY
Idaho should be Seekins precision as well.
well a lower legally is the firearm so id say it counts.
Aero Precision is out of Tacoma Washington.
Mega Arms is out of Tumwater Washington.
Rainier Arms is out of Auburn Washington but Mega makes their lowers.
Not going to mention a couple others out of Washington. Lol
I don’t know if you want to count this but SWFA sells their “own” ar15’s now which look to be largely made with Seekins parts including a Seekins lower with SWFA rollmark. On the one hand they probably wouldn’t be the only company on the list to not make their lowers. On the other hand I am not sure they actually manufacture parts themselves but they do have some exclusive things like a variation of a Seekins rail which I wish they sold on its own.
