I have my share of Winchesters. I am sorry to see this plant close.

The NYT must be salivating over this.
I bet there isn't one John Wayne type on its entire staff.

The problem with them is they're built so darn well they almost never need replacing.
That being said, I may have to go buy one of these lever guns. Maybe something in .44 mag to match the Mrs. pistola.

I wonder if this is another Union victory.

This is the result of anti-gun nutjobs who have repeatedly assaulted the firearms industry. With the legislation allowing victims to sue gun manufacturers for the acts committed by gun-wielding murderers. When we allow the courts to impose draconian punishments on innocent businesses, People lose their jobs and factories go elsewhere.

The Charge at Feather River Pvt. Connors: Say, is this really a repeater?
Quartermaster Sergeant: A repeater? Son, you can load this on Sunday and shoot it all week.
IIRC, that rifle was a Henry.

I never bought a gun to replace one. All my purchases were to own another one.
Sounds like it is too late to keep them in the US by buying another one. I have three Winchesters, don't know what I would want in addition to the ones I own. Would buy duplicates of what I own, but that would not preserve the Winchester.

Unless a rescue plan is worked out or a new buyer comes forward, the gun-manufacturing plant in New Haven, with about 200 employees, will close on March 31. Shoot!

Sorry...did not know that. Will not use Getty or Corbis in the future. Thanks for letting me know the reason for the pulled post.

John Wayne and a Winchester rifle, from "Stagecoach" in 1939. The Duke was a Winchester brand spokesman.

Workers ended their shift this week at the U.S. Repeating Arms Company.

You're welcome. Thank you for the kind response.

You know where Winchester is Headquartered? Anti-gun Illinois!
Funny you never hear Daley or Blago talk about any loss of jobs when it comes to those evil gun manufacturers. Heck, behind closed doors, they beg and bribe gun makers to stay in Illinois!

The problem with them is they're built so darn well they almost never need replacing.Indeed. My best hunting rifle is a pre 1964 model 70 .300 Winchester Magnum with a low profile 3x9 widefield Redfield scope.

Also, Olin is the Winchester ammo maker and I don't know how they are tied corporately, I do reckon that ammo manufacturing is doing well with a war on...

I don't know about that. I bet most of the male NYT staffers swoon over big, strong cowboys ( or sheepherders, as the case may be ).
