The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs. Prior to reading this article on made in the USA products, I rarely thought about the importance of buying made in USA products. This helps create jobs in our country. Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. When enough people are asking for made in the USA products, more stores will begin to carry products that are made here. This technique does work. I also pick and choose the stores I visit. I do this because I have found that some stores are made in America friendly while others are not. Keep your eyes open for the made in USA label and pretty soon you will be able to identify which products are made in the USA. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Calico Beginning in October of 1982, California Instrument Company designed and built specialized instrumentation for the petroleum industry. Armed with a background in tooling and engineering, a totally new concept in firearms magazine technology was developed and in May of 1985, the first working 100 round helical feed .22LR carbine prototype was successfully tested. Eventually, an entire family of firearms was developed around this revolutionary new design. By June of 1989, the first 50 and 100 round 9mm double helix firearms were being produced. These robust weapon systems were hailed internationally as the next generation in firearms development. Enjoying worldwide success, Calico Light Weapon Systems now features a full line of calico accessories, like the world's only true speed-loader, making it easy to capture the full advantage of this unique design. Always looking to the future, Calico engineers are currently developing new weapons and munition feeding systems that take advantage of our internationally patented design configurations. At Calico, we are committed to our revolution in firepower. Helical Feed Magazine The heart of the Calico's weapon systems is the patented helical feed design. Using a staggered helix principal, the rounds are driven forward along a fluted cartridge carrier as they press against the helical wells of the magazine cover. The driving pressure is achieved by a rectangular torsion spring located inside the fluted cartridge carrier. Moving forward one by one, they are fed by a specially-designed feed port into the top-loading chamber of the Calico firearm. Calico's helical magazine feeding systems remain the most advanced method known for efficiently storing and dispensing ammunition in small arms. |
