“Ruger are about the only ones that are still based in New England.”
Bill Ruger probably had the intention of moving the headquarters to Prescott AZ. It didn’t happen in his lifetime but the pistols are made here in Prescott and the local governments have an open invitation for Ruger to move here.
Yes, Ruger has factories in Arizona and Georgia in addition to the one in Connecticut. Still, the HQ is located in Connecticut even though its only one of 3 factories they have.
Prescott? Where in Prescott?
