I have the 4" Dragonslayer and was told by Callies on the phone it is forged in Ohio and my crank has made in USA on it
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.

I sure wish they would tool up the Compstar Cranks for us Mopar guys.....They're only producing the 3rd gen hemi stuff last I knew.... 
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 ...

that would be a big deal because i am doing a 100% usa build not to take any thing for all the other  stuff 
Let us know how that goes for you.
Last I heard most bearings aren't American made any more either.

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.
