I love to buy American. All my muzzleloaders except for my Lyman GPR are American made. (Whites and Knights) The only problem is they were all made 12 to 20 years ago so buying them doesn't help the American worker too much. If I had a mind to buy a new muzzleloader,and I donot, I am guessing it would be between Knight and CVA.
Part of the problem with foreign goods overtaking the market is that it is hard for the American companies to compete with their prices. Part of it is that the remaining American companies do not always shine when it comes to service for their customers. It is not always that the customer doesn't care about America, often it is that the company just isn't doing its job. JMHO
