Sounds familiar. Also Western NY?

Yes, Ruger has factories in Arizona and Georgia in addition to the one in Connecticut. Still, the HQ is located in Connecticut even though its only one of 3 factories they have.

They are short sighted.
Jawjar is going jungle law.

Anderson Manufacturing (known for making AR-15 and AR-10 rifles and Kiger pistols) in Hebron, KY has a custom gun shop using remaining Remington components.

I have a rifle and pistol that I bought from them. Not from the custom shop. Good people to deal with.

Any reasonable company should move from blue states to red states and enjoy the freedom and prosperity.

if you think liberal democrats and rino’s are overbearing now just wait until they can disarm all law abiding American citizens. elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences.

Thank you Remington arms for your service to the Republic.

Remington main factory was in Bridgeport back until the 1960s. The factory is supposed to be haunted. Connecticut Valley was a gun manufacturer area. I think Ruger is headquartered still in CT. Their guns are made in Arizona.

Sig is still up North.

Prescott? Where in Prescott?

....so did I.....grew up in one of the suburbs of Albany...the education I got from those public schools was outstanding...have no idea what those schools are like today (I think my old high school now boasts an LGBTQ club of some sort...disgusting...)...

New York State [where I attended the excellent public schools guided by the excellent [at the time] Board of Regents from 1956 to 1967] is LOST.

Right next to the airport, out by the intersection of 89 and 89A.

Back in 1963 the Libs in Yankee Land began to scream for a law to ban the import of 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! After all, the President had just been killed with one!
“Evil Guns! Bad! Turns men into criminals! Guns made for killing PEOPLE!”
They finally got the ban in 1968. Years later, it was found the anti-military surplus gun ban movement of that time was to stop foreign competition from cheap military rifles. After all, a import military rifle cost about 12-29 dollars as opposed to a $95 dollar rifle made by Remington, Savage or Winchester!
Years later it was found the ban had no effect on crime, and bolt action military rifles were again allowed int the US.

But by then the “Armory of the US”, the North East had become so anti-gun that even the sports arms makers were taking heat to close down. Now they have and moved South.

How wonderful! New York state has become safe again!

1180 Delaware Avenue. Not far from Calasanctius.

Delaware Avenue is one beautiful street, all those old-time mansions.

Just like Pratt-Whitney Engines. The town of East Hartford was the main plant from the 1940s to the late 1970s. They opened plants in Florida, Maine and in North Carolina and the main plant is just a shell of itself.

The IAM (International Association of Machinists) union wrecked Pratt. Very Socialist union. My dad worked for them in management. Dad decided to buy an used AMC wagon instead of his Vette, when the IAM said they will vandalize any cars of Management who crosses the picket line.

Unions suck...
