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.
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!
