Question about Springfield Armory?

Went to the local gun shop this weekend just to brouse. One of the guns I looked at was a Springfield 1911 GI. I liked the price and the Springfield name.

I was supprised to see engraved on the bottom of the dust cover Made In Brazil.

I know the XDs are made in Croatia, I have an XD .45. I always thought the 1911s were made in USA by Springfield. Maybe some of their 1911s are but apparently not the GI model.

I guess my question is does Springfield Armory actually manufacture any of their own guns, or do they just contract with outside manufacturers?

They assemble their guns the Gi,mil spec and loaded in brazil

The higher end ones are finshed here in the states

I own two GIs, and yes they're assembled in Brazil, but they still have the quality that Springfield is known for.

I forgot to add i have had nothing but good luck from my Springfield's 2 loaded and a trophymatch no complaints

Springfield gets their frames from Imbel in Brazil. I have two Springers, one a US manufacture (stainless) and one Imbel (blue). From what I understand, they (Springfield) makes or buys their stainless frames in the U.S., but their blued frames they out-sourced to Imbel.

They are both at or above Springfields standards.

The XD isn't the first gun that they have out-sourced to Croatia either. Their M6 Scout was made there as well. There may be others, but I am not aware of them.
