Is Kifaru moving manufacturing overseas?

In all seriousness, I would agree that Kifaru is currently lacking engagement on Rokslide. I'm not really on social media at the moment (aside from FB for marketplace and rifle shooting groups) so I don't really have any input on that aspect.

I think one thing that made Kifaru successful over the years was the availability for customers to engage with employees via forums and social media. That looks to have tapered off quite a bit especially recently.

I can only assume they are looking at developing new strategies with the 'departure' of A.S. I think they have some smart and capable people working there and will get things back on course.

@FrankieP1988, I don't know if Kifaru has called, but they should. They seem to be lacking a credible face of the company. Not that this is required to build quality products, but it does help get the message out and lend credibility to the testing. Being away, I'm sure you have some new fresh ideas too!

I called Kifaru about 6 months ago, needing to replace some aluminum stays for an old timberline. As they no longer offer those, I was basically told to eat a bag of dicks. That would have never flown with Patrick or Angie. Miss those days and I'm disappointed to see the company go the way it's going, but I won't be a customer any longer. SG CS has been fantastic and I've gone that route.

I've spoken to the Kifaru crew and we are on good terms. I think it would be pretty difficult for me at the moment to fit in more work with my current school and work schedule. Not saying it would be impossible, but it would have to be a pretty lucrative deal.

Are these 100% made in the USA but sourced materials from overseas? I wonder if that's the difference that brings it to the $65 range.

No, the 65 is garbage, America doesn’t import much raw cotton, it does textile, but the t shirt guys that are selling 100% USA made and grown t shirts or clothing like Origin are buying US grown and are very proud to state it.
