I suspect someone will take over the name, not sure about the plant tho. Manufacturing guns in New England does not make much sense to me.

No need, FN already owns the name and the factory. All they are doing is closing that factory, not necessarily stopping production of "Winchester" guns. (Winchester ammunition is made by Olin, which spun off the gun maker some years ago, and later FN bought the spin off)
