I just got a hint that the Remington ammunition plant in Lonoke, Arkansas must be running at near capacity. Just received an order of 15 boxes of 16ga Remington Game Loads. Since we 16ga shooters are the bastard stepchildren of the shotgun world, when 16ga loads start showing up, it must mean that more in demand ammo is also rolling off the production lines.

72% of the population of NY lives in 9% of the land area.
NYC, Westchester, Long Island
Albany
Syracuse
Buffalo
Everywhere else is red. We are literally captives.
Fun fact, the Remington factory in Ilion is/was the 2nd oldest continuously operating business in American history. They have been making Remington firearms in that SAME brick building...since 1818. 206 years.

There are plenty of reasons for their move but the fact that New York ranks dead last in overall freedom didn’t help. This and whole lot more is here: https://www.freedominthe50states.org/

It's a shame for the employees. Many are from families that worked for Remington for generations.
You can bet though, that the union leader will have a nice Christmas.

There’s plenty of blame to go around regarding this fiasco, but don’t leave out the catalyst for the downfall of Remington. Cerberus “vulture” capital bought the company in 2007 and saddled it with hundreds of millions in debt while taking out healthy fees to compensate a multitude of bankers, lawyers and accountants. No lasting economic value was created except for the banksters who eventually walked away as the company slid into bankruptcy. Sad tale that is well documented for anyone interested

I wonder if they'll have any brain drain for Glock. I cant think of any other big gun makers near atlanta.
