Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 332994 covers establishments manufacturing small arms, ordnance such as bombs and grenades, and related accessories. The key boundary is with ammunition manufacturing; establishments making ammunition cartridges and shells are classified in Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing or Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing, while this code covers the weapons themselves and their component parts. Ordnance accessories remain in this code rather than in All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing, which covers unrelated metal fabrications like safes and containers.
