Can't say that I'm surprised, but it does seem like the end of an era..

Good. Hopefully they go somewhere that actually wants them.

Wyoming! I even know a GC that will build the facility for them.

Sounds like it's Georgia. If they have aspirations of becoming a major player again, I'm guessing they want to be on the beaten path.

For all the talk about state level politics the thing that really stands out in that article is the high cost of operating and maintaining a partially used, 1m sqft, steam-run, WW1-era facility with an inefficient layout.

Wonder if they’ll be using the $28m in taxpayer-funded grants and taxbreaks they received to create union jobs with good wages in Georgia?

All that said, NY State doesn’t do a lot to make running a business of any sort easy. But I’m sure there’s quite a bit more to this decision than state gun ownership regs (which is also onerous in NY).

Yes, in this case, I’m guessing it’s less about gun politics (despite what my esteemed congresswoman says).

i must say i was surprised when it reopened in 2021 after remington was sold.

I hope they kick ass in Georgia and make a strong comeback. I know the state of Georgia welcomed them with open arms. They have a massive facility and state of the art equipment ready to roll.

Hopefully they restore their quality and become a household name again
