Some guns still are made there. Production started to shift to Japan in 1977
For a specific answer, please provide the model number. Most guns stopped production in Belgium in the 1970.
They haven't.
Browning did not make ammunition. They contracted another company to make it for them.
1930's
1963
Browning imported guns never did say "fabric en belgium". Those guns that were made by FN were all stamped "made in Belgium" on the barrels, for those guns that were made for Browning. There are Browning patent guns made by FN that were sold outside the US and not imported by Browning that may have said fabric, but not on a Browning Arms Co. gun. Browning stopped production on the A5 in 1976 when production began in Japan. Any gun no matter when it was made in Belgium would be stamped made in belgium. Different models were made at different times and production by FN varied as to when they ceased.
Not enough profit.
You can't. A crude gun can be made from a piece of pipe.
The Standard Sporting Clays 425 was made from 1995-2001
They haven't. Special orders are still an option.
