Allan, Kevin, Ron, The Parker Story authors and I know the answers. The machinery was shipped to Ilion, was used for a while, but then was put into storage at the beginning of the war. After the war, Remington made a valiant effort to put the guns back into production with the existing machinery, but the machinery could not be brought back up to speed, or operation at all. Some companies were approached to assist in the effort, but it didn't work out. The companies included Griffin and Howe, Frank Lefever and Son, and others. End of story, sort of. There is more, but those are the basics. I don't know if any of us are interested in more of the details, but I have them in my research material. I would love to share this research material if anyone is interested.
