New York's Oldest Gun Manufacturer Shuts Down
This is some sad news that we've known was coming for several years, but now the end is almost upon us. Remington Arms has been manufacturing quality firearms in the upstate New York village of Ilion for more than two centuries. At one time it employed thousands of workers and it could be argued that Ilion wouldn't have really existed without it. But next month, the doors will close and the last workers will be sent to the unemployment lines. But that won't be the end of Remington's various product lines. You'll still be able to find them in gun shops around the world. But they will be manufactured in Georgia from now on, a state far more friendly and welcoming to Remington and the firearms industry in general.
