[TxGun]

Mossberg sends raw steel on flatbed trucks to Torreon, Mexico, and receives sealed containers of barrels, triggers and bolt assemblies on pallets in return. Receivers and stocks are produced in North Haven, and shipped to Eagle Pass to be married with the parts from Mexico. This is the process for both Mossberg and Maverick guns, not just Mavericks. This process is somewhat unique and is known as "reverse maquilla", since most companies are having complete products built in Mexico and shipped north fully assembled. Mossberg's process does allow a high degree of QC to occur in the U.S., and that's certainly a good thing, but it is also due to the nature of the product: It is against Mexican law to produce guns in that country (outside of military armories). Receivers = guns in the U.S. and, apparently, in Mexico also. So fully assembling guns down there is a no-go.
