In the album that Dave pictures, there were a few pictures of the reintroduction parts laid out, including monoblocs and many small parts. Don Mainland manufactured all parts for the new Parker except tubes and wood parts. There were also a few more pictures of Larry DelGrego Sr. and the old shop that my Dad took in 1972. I'm not sure that Dave took pictures of the whole album or just the pictures he posted. The reason that more guns are not shown is that we had very little time for pictures and took most of them in one day. The most interesting find among the guns in the archives were cases of Model 1917 Enfields that have never been out of the Arms since they were made during WW1. Thanks for the pictures, Dave.

Interesting that one of the largest sporting arms manufacturers in the world had to contract out parts to a boutique outfit like Kolar.

Remington moving from Ilion completely is not a deffinate as of yet as I understand it.

You're lucky you got in there at all, what with the pall of 'creative hysteria' looming over the place. Sure beats driving to Arkansas, though!

Brian, I don't think Remington is moving. They are relocating to manufacture just certain products outside of Ilion. Ed, Kolar didn't start making Remington products with the Parker Reintroduction. They made the Remington Model 90T from buttplate to front sight.

Fox News thinks the Big Green is moving.

Ilion, "remain open", "reduced workforce".

Sort of goes against the grain," New York we are open for business" yea really, Gary

Secretary at a desk directing phone calls down south, the other 2000 employees, I guess Gov. doesn't care much about....:nono:

Having worked for some of NY's major manufacturers and watched them, one by one--GM, IBM, GE, Bristol Meyers, New Process Gear, Carrier, etc., etc., etc.--move out of the state or reduce their operations to next to nothing, I will confidently predict that Remington will move all or most of their manufacturing South, level the physical plant (as Carrier did to reduce taxes) and donate as much of the uncontaminated land as they can to the city of Illion. Based on NY's extremely high costs of doing business here--electricity, taxes, and regulations --all highest in the nation, it simply makes no sense to continue operations here when you have a much lower cost of production facility in the South. Couple that with your home state declaring part of your product line illegal. What smart businessman would stay?
