And the Coca-Cola Company made huge business in Germany during the war, came up with the Fanta brand to please the Germans. IBM made proto-computer machines that processed the data for the holocaust. Henry Ford was closely linked to Nazi Germany and the entire U.S. space program was founded on the knowledge of ex- Nazi German scientists like Werner von Braun.
German companies like Mercedes and BMW of course made cars and vehicles for the Wehrmacht and the SS. The Porsche designed Volkswagen Beetle was made for the people of the Third Reich.
We Swedes sold iron and steel to Nazi Germany during the entire war and we were payed with gold stolen from deported jews. We even let nazi troops go through our country by train to Norway.
So, you can't drink Coca-cola, Sprite or Fanta, Can't buy Ford, Mercedes, BMW, or Volkswagen cars, you have to hate NASA and the Swedish Rail Company. Don't buy guns with Swedish steel and don't use computers and yes, Winchesters were used aginst native Americans during 19th century, can't buy them. The Birmingham Gun Trade made huge amounts of guns for the slave trade, forget Webley & Scott, Greener and Westley Richards. Holland & Holland, Boss and Purdey sold guns to British imperialistic noblemen and soldiers responsible for mass murders around the world. And for Gods sake don't even think about buying a Mauser rifle!

Do you know for a fact your "Chromox and Sterlingworth" bbls were "Not Made from Krupp Steel". These are simply generic names applied by Fox, not necessarily related to maker. It is my understanding that Krupp, never actually "Made" shotgun bbls. They did supply the steel a lot of shotgun bbls were made from. All Fox would have to have done when the Name Krupp fell from favor following WWI was change their stamp. No one the wiser, as the old saying goes you know; "What You Don't Know, Won't Hurt you". Previously the name Krupp had demanded respect as a high quality steel & is found on bbls of a number of US makers of the era.

What Cloffe said!!
And don't forget all the help USA and USA companies gave to Communinst Russia, all those guns and trucks and Lend Lease. And all the world's problems that can be traced to British colonialism.
Hope that "farm" in State of Missoury is TOTALLY self sufficient, with homespun wool, cast iron and plenty of flints and sulfer and KNO3, and lead mine, and....... And what are you doing on the nefarious Internet?

Very much suggest "The Arms Of Krupp" by William Manchester. Very long, but very good read. It'll tell you lots more about Krupp than you ever knew. Highly recommended read!!

The computer components in these things are made all over the world. Probably some commie China parts in them too. Even the Amish that chose to put their collective heads in the sand are not immune from the effects of globalization.
So, if you're serious about not using things made by countries, companies, etc that you have a grudge against, it's gonna be a tough row to hoe.
What the f%@( are we talking about here? The Krupp company of the '20s doesn't exist any longer. Not buying a 80 yr old Fox because it has a component from a company owned by a guy that played along with his country's regiem 70 yrs ago and participated in some bad things, will not make a squat bit of difference to me, certainly. And anyone in their right mind wouldn't harbor any ill feeling toward someone that did buy an 80 yr old Fox with Krupp barrels....of course there's always those not in their right mind.
How about if the Krupp steel was recycled? If there was some recycled Krupp steel in your doorknobs? If the George Bush aircraft carrier had traces of recycled Krupp steel from a WW2 ship, what should we do? So many questions....so little sense.

OK, Rabbit. I loved your comment. I'm whistling and smiling as I rip out my wall to wall carpet.

F. Krupp was a genius at self promotion. The guy was the WW Greener of steel.
U.S. railroads were built with German steel. Why? Germany had steel mills, we didn't.... yet.
Another nazi company was Bayer, known today for overpriced asprin. Somebody has to pay for the advertising...
