If I had the wherewithal I'd put a group of investors together and throw a bid in on this plant. You are better off throwing the cash into the sea and waiting for swordfish and tuna to jump on shore.
New england don't need no steenking manufacturing, especially of firearms.

The Marketplace for firearms has changed. Lever Action rifles can be purchased from Marlin and other manufacturers also. Its kind of nostalgic to think of Winchester Arms still in business. Too bad. Manufacturing is doing well in .45 ACP, military assult weapons. Kimber, Springfield Armoury, Wilson Combat, DSA Arms etc.
My Grandfather worked for Winchester Arms for over 25 years. He has been gone many years ago. He loved their lever action rifles, and hunted with them frequently.

Yea maybe you're right.
Wouldn't it be a hoot to just buy the name, shutter the factory and reopen it in say Texas?
