the United States' largest firearms manufacturer, today announced a strategic manufacturing consolidation move that will result in the closure of its Gardner, Massachusetts plant ("Gardner"). This integration will be seamless and will not affect our customers or our product offerings.
When did they get this title? Last I heard, Ruger was the biggest U.S. maker......
Do not forget, Remington also has their own cartridge company that is part of the parent company(not like Winchester). So they probably are the largest.
I wonder if and how much of the manufacturing they are going to send overseas.
Also remember that UMC(Union Metallic Cartridge) is a Remington company. And UMC is made in Mexico. HooRay for NAFTA.
I am alsodisappointed in S&W with their new overseas manufacturing facilities. Tom.
