I know the previous poster already answered that, but I'm a sucker for 1911 pics, sooo yeah :)

Why would these firms wait? They know that more restrictive state laws are just a matter of time in their current locations.
Good for them.
Don't suggest, don't warn, just do. If the trend on issues they care about is in the wrong direction, convincing the current crop of tyrants does nothing, because in a year or two, you get new tyrants and have to go through it all over again. Add that to the ludicrous income tax laws in NY, and I can't imagine why they're still there in the first place.
I do not understand why these companies have stuck around these leftist states so long
Thank you both for the prompt replies.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
Microstamping has what, ~60% legibility rate on cheap ammo assuming that it isn’t lacquered or that the stamp isn’t worn or that some thug (the intended target of the legislation) hasn’t taken 30 seconds to use a 50¢ nail file and remove the stamp? Or course, microstamping doesn’t matter if a criminal uses a brass catcher, or polices his brass, or uses a revolver.
And then, if the cops get a match it just indicates the gun used, not the person using it.
...Unless some thug goes and picks up some brass at range and scatters it a crime scene to frame someone.
And according to the ATF, only 19% of the guns used by felons were acquired by gun show, pawn shop or retailer, meaning most of the guns felons use, if microstamped, will point to the rightful owner from whom the thing was stolen.
I’d write a coherent 500 word rant, but this will have to do for the night.
...
Bluntly, libs don't care if their actions hurt businesses or cause people to lose their jobs or whether the laws they write can even be achieved or if these businesses relocate out of state.
In 2006, the Donkeys in the IL legislature tried to ramrods assault weapons legislation through the House and Senate. The five major gun manufacturers in IL said if this legislation passed, they would move out of state. Those IL manufacturers were: Springfield Armory and ArmaLite, Inc. of Geneseo, Lewis Machine & Tool of Moline, Les Baer Custom, Inc. of Hillsdale, and Rock River Arms Inc. of Colona. [Les Baer Custom did move to LeClaire, IA within a year of this insanity being considered by the legislature. Their new facility opened in the Fall of 2007.]
The legislation died as a result of the combined actions of the NRA, IL State Rifle Assn, Republicans, downstate Democrats, and a whole bunch of p.o.’ed citizen shooters. Since this time the morons in the legislature have considered anti-gun legislation the kiss of death to their political careers. However, eternal vigilance remains the cost of freedom.
Why wait? Leave now!!!!
If they came to Texas, we probably have enough gun lovers to buy all the guns. Plus, we have low taxes and it’s a right to work state. Come on down.
The management of Remington should announce loudly and publicly that if the New York legislature passes this law the company will no longer sell or service any firearm to any Government entity of the State of New York.
They should also announce same policy regarding their ammunition.
Remington’s R&D facility is already located here in Elizabethtown, KY. I’d love to see them move one of their two firearms manufacturing plants here (the other is located in the western part of Kentucky, near Mayfield, and their ammo and component plant is in Arkansas).
GOA has made mistakes,,,, trust me ,,,,I make my living by shooting,,,, sometimes Chris Starke, GOA founder goes overboard and wishes to be someone he's not. "We the people" are the ONLY identity that can make ANY difference. If the ballot box doesn't work than the cartridge box will,,,, IF the true citizens wish for the "CONSTITUTION" to work correctly.
all industries should leave rat states and go somewhere where they would be appreciated.
Everybody needs to go to Texas, AZ and the red states and let the the rats sink in their swamp of scum.
Blessings, bobo
It’s sad that these stupid ideas have to be defeated by threatening to leave the state...
They ought to be defeated by common sense, but this is the world we live in...
four swipes with a fine diamond fingernail file across the face of the firing pin and no microstamp.
Yea, that’s a real stupid idea.
I took mine to the range Friday and put 100 rds through it. I like it but one thing Remington didn’t do is polish the barrels feed ramp. I did it myself but shouldn’t have had to.
