The way I understand it, according to the original business charter, Remington cannot ever fully leave Illion. Now of course that was drawn up a long time ago, so things can be changed. That said, I believe they will move most, if not all, manufacturing out of Illion eventually. I believe in order to satisfy the original charter, should they choose to do so, they will leave the museum and custom shop, or I hope so at least.
Being born and raised 40 miles from Illion and a die hard Remington enthusiast, I hate to see the doors closed there forever. That's alot of this country's history in firearms to just flush away in my opinion. All my first guns were Remington, so they will always have a special place in my life.
