Oh it is about 3 years old

over the years we've sold a lot of the dragonslayer cranks. i think there's always been some confusion as the where the forgings come from. i don't think they've ever used chinese forgings. the most important thing to know is that Callies and quality are one and the same. we've never had a complaint on any of their products we've sold.
we've getting ready to do a super sale on all of the callies and callies/compstar products.

The Compstar stuff is sweet even if the forgings are coming from China

the only way that will happen is if americans will go back t oworking for 5 dollars a week so the CEO's can still bring home their 25 million dollar salaries ...

Let us know how that goes for you.

Call and ask them, I did. They told me THAT crank is forged and machined here.
Either they are really honest or THAT crank is always made here.
Pleasant people to deal with in any case.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

I'm 99% sure the basic crank is NOT a USA-sourced part...
And am now 99% sure I could be wrong about my original statement above. 
I think I was confusing Dragon Slayer cranks w/ some other product.

All may not be lost gentleman as wages are increasing in China it's not as affordable for some manufacturing to pay the higher wages plus the expense of shipping. There are economists predicting that as many as 3 million manufacturing jobs could be returning to the US within next few years.
It's what this country needs to grow our economy again.

This is actually true to a point. I was in China earlier this year and they were posting this on their own news about rising wages and lack of skilled labor. Only problem is they were talking about the manufacturing moving to Vietnam and Bangladesh rather than back here.
Well the way I see it is that China has cheap labour but are paying through the nose for energy.
Soooo we have all the energy we can shake a stick at. Lower the price of gas to around 50 cents a litre or 2.00 a gallon and make everyone else outside of north america pay premium price for OUR crude.
while your at it you could also lower the price of electricity.
