MorgansBoss Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 So has everyone heard the news about Winchester's pending demise? If not, it's been (publicly) announced that USRA will cease operation in March unless a buyer can be found. Further, they only have license to use the Winchester name until then so even if somebody does buy the company there's no guarantee it will still be "Winchester." Together with the recent loss of Ithica the future of the last few great American legends of firearms is quite somber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamprat Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I guess just the New Haven plant is done for. Once again the bean counters have driven another U.S. business out. The poor quality since 64 has finally caught up. "We can save a penny here", the cry of the bean counters! Cut this corner, cut that one! To hell with the quality! It's the bottom line that counts! And the biggest one of all,"What would our investor's think". And a quality American product goes down the drain. I hope you all enjoy your dividends! And the Mexican Anthem is? Just a sore losser, Swamprat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
