I wonder if the same two NY Senate Republican backstabbers that voted for homosexual marriage plan to sign off on the stamping.

Remington could be forced to reconsider its commitment to the New York market altogether rather than spend the astronomical sums of money needed to completely reconfigure our manufacturing and assembly processes.

Which is exactly the intent of the legislation...

Here is the true story.
Some guy got the idea for “micro stamping bullets.”

He is now trying to create a market for his product.

When you're dealing with people like this, you may as well just pack it all up and leave the state.

They recently reintroduced a version of a 1911 as a way to remember their past contributions to WW2 equipment efforts. It has received mixed reviews.

I agree. Caterpillar has basically threatened to leave Illinois. Colt just built a new facility in Florida.

I did not know they had a facility in Kentucky. I’m in Louisville. Are they offering plant tours?

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.

Only after the special charter Remington train crosses the NY state border, loaded with all their equipment and employees bound for a friendly state.

Same with all the NE gun mfrs. Given the record sales now is the time.

Imagine gun trains making whistle stop speeches along the way. With the right PR people this could create a lasting powerful image, America's new refugees.

They want yogurt, let them have yogurt!

Frankly, this should have been done during the Clinton administration.

Oh, and lest we forget, Ilion is another name for the fabled city of Troy. You figure the lessons of the wooden horse would have been at least a dusty memory there.

Way to go NY. Drive yet another business out of the state.

We have room for future Remminton guns of all sizes, to be made, in Texas. We’ll even help them move here.

If confronted by a bad guy on the streets, throw a cup of yogurt at him, Jackie, you 30 IQ clown. Idiots like Jackie need a one-way trip on a freighter heading to North Korea.

With another look at the situation, Texas is a better choice.

Too many problems with Nevada—starting with Harry Reid & Shelly Berkley.

The Remington website has a tab for factory tours, but it is not active. I’d say that you’d have to call them directly and see if they are currently offering any.

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.

That bothers me too. It's basically an incompletely manufactured product! I think the only thing the consumer should have to do with a new gun is clean out any excess of protective oils or greases that were used to protect the firearm in the time between manufacture and purchase.

It was surprising given the quality of the rest of the gun...ramp actually wasn’t part of the barrel, but in the throat of the frame where the magazine tops out, but it wasn’t even bare - still had their form of parkerizing on it. You could even see the rought grind marks on it. Worked okay with copper jackets, but I suspect LRN or other softer metals might FTF more easily than copper.

It took a good bit of a Dremel buff wheel cylinder (great for 45 ACP) and a lot of jeweler’s rouge to grind and polish it out.

The guy buying up all the unmarked firing pins is the culprit.
