[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2099037, member: 116486"] We have had them. Still have 2 I know of one is Woodleigh who provide some projectiles to American ammunition manufacturers for big bore ammo. Outer Edge are another. We used to have Taipan I think, there could be others I can't name as I think there are cast projectiles made here. I believe Winchester made rimfire and shotshells in Australia at Geelong in Victoria but closed that down taking the plant back to the US. We do have a Thales company named Australian Defence Industries (ADI) they produce rifles for the Military I think theybare a Steyr design but ADI produce powders with some supplied to Hogdon packaged as Varget, Trailboss and others. The rifle Plant is at Lithgow and Lithgow rifle manufacturing has been revived. They offered ,22rf rifles in the 50s or 60s. They have been producing a Lithgow centrefire rifle now for a few years. With a medium profile barrel and a large action adopting different chambering a it's not light but it's quite good and marketed as a Crossover somewhere between sporter and varmint profile to crossover in target work for a versatile rifle We have raw material resources but a lot of manufacturing has gone offshore and there is a lot of foreign investment in Australian companies but we do not have a vehicle manufacturer [/QUOTE]
