Well pardon me. I didn't state it as fact, unlike my statement about the APQS machines, which I do know for a fact. Since I'm FAIRLY certain my comment about the outsourcing for Gammil is correct, I thought I would mention it in case it is important to someone researching the product.

You make it sound as if I were attempting to slander the company, which was not my intent at all. Gammil makes a fine machine, the factor is just outside of my hometown in Ava Missouri, and was one of my 3 choices when choosing my own longarm.

I appreciate the discussion.

I think, just like a lot of manufacturing in the US, many standard parts are used, and many of those are made outside the country. The final assembly for most longarms is the USA.

Why do some of these discussion seem to get fairly nasty? I see NO reason for it.

I've rubbed people the wrong way here, and others have aggravated me. It happens :>

Nolting's main office is in Hawkeye, Iowa, and I just called there today and talked to a Tech because I was looking at a used Nolting today and I called him with the serial # off it to get what information I could about that particular machine. Their customer service is outstanding.
