Speaking of which, Smith is spending $9m+ to “relocate” Thompson/Center Arms
from Rochester, New Hampshire to Springfield, Massachusetts.

Have the “suits” at Smith and Wesson never heard of Texas, Florida,
or even Oklahoma and Louisiana?
Moving into Taxachusetts is going to get discussed in graduate business
schools in the future as a prime case study in “corporate suicide”.

H-LL, talented but low-IQ athletes know enough to leave economic taxation hell-holes
like California for Texas and Florida!!!

I like the AR-15-22 really well. I’ve put about 500 rounds thru it with a couple of jams at first. I attribute that to breaking in. No jams in the last 4 or 5 magazines.

For sighting, I have an EOtech and out to 100 yards, I’ll hit you in the head every time - calm wind of course !!

I only shoot CCI Mini-Mag 22LR thru it. It’s a good round.

Price is right.

S&W makes good revolvers, but their autos are a POS.

Which auto do you own?

I've been nothing but impressed with my M&P40

The Sigma series is just made for a down market that competes with Hi-Point and the like.

A decade ago I won a 457 at a match...couldn’t sell that POS fast enough. About five years ago I gave the S&W1911Sc a try. Then another. Then I switched to M&P pistols for carry. Then I started buying their ARs. More recently bought the MP-15 .22 rifle. (Nothing but fun!) I’ve certainly done my part!

I think the author of the piece nailed it...they’re leaving their core competency.

Cool! I seen one at a big gun show for something like $469.00. That didn’t sound like a bad price?
