I have seen their commercials.
There are A LOT of firearms manufacturers in the US, and many foreign-based companies have factories here. Off the top of my head: Armalite Colt Kel-Tec Smith & Wesson Ruger Browning Cobra Bond Remington Savage Winchester Bushmaster Rock River Springfield Dillon Aero Mossberg And of course Beretta and Glock have factories here.

I can add to your list just by looking around the house:
Marlin U.S. Patent Firearms C. Sharps Arms Ballard Rifle Co. Charter Arms Still more: Les Baer Kimber Shilo Sharps Lone Star Rifle Co. Thompson/Center Freedom Arms And many, many more. By the way, as far as I know, Browning has not manufactured a rifle or shotgun in the U.S. for decades. Pistols, I'm not so sure. And all Winchesters, save for the new Model 70, are made overseas these days. I've handled and shot a few Henry rifles. I'm not impressed. They have a cheap cast zinc frame wrapped in a cheap stamped sheet metal housing that is polished and blued to make it look nice. The whole thing just screams "cheap junk". I'm not a big fan of their stealing a hallowed name from our past, either. The cheap junk they are producing under this glorious, historic name is bordering on criminal. That, and harping on the "made in USA" theme, when most of the world's best firearms still make that claim. Pure advertising hype and name familiarity, all the while pushing cheap junk. No thanks.

+1 on Jeff's opinion: Henry rifles are junk. There are a lot of inexpensive, US made guns that are much better quality: Savage, NEF and Charter Arms are good examples. I own one Henry rifle and it is a POS.

SIG makes guns in Exeter, NH. Frames are mostly still made in Germany, but all other parts here. And I've seen the Henry commercial many times.
