yup the TG "Longfields" are made in china.
We have a long time customer who bought his Longfields from us about half a decade ago and he finally broke an inner 30-spline shaft.

He was extremely reluctant to walk into Fail-Gear, as they are now taking care of Longfield warranties, and they replaced his original Longfield shaft with a dark gunmetal gray shaft that had large TG part numbers engraved post-heat treatment exactly like their Chinese Dirty Thirties.

BigMike
