More important and numerous than the museum guns are the R&D collection guns.

Bill, forgive my ignorance, what are the R&D Collection guns?

I kinda thought that Edgar but I wondered if Bill had something else in mind.

Edgar gave the right answer. The R&D room at Ilion houses thousands of guns, from all makers. I could have spent days in there. It is dark in there so bring flashlights if you ever get an invitation. I suspect this collection and the museum collection are being looted and have been for some time.

The story that I got was that the museum and R&D collections were packed and in storage awaiting the completion of the new factory and will eventually end up there.
Let's hope so. |

Thank you. It is a shame that the politicians chased Remington out of the state with their bullshit.
Took many trips down the Thruway past Herkimer late at night, always looked forward to seeing the factory lit up like a beacon of hope! Now just a reminder of how the politicians are screwing us in New York.
