Remington, America’s oldest gun maker, is poised to leave New York for Georgia in March after more than 200 years of operation in Mohawk Valley.
The firearm manufacturer told union officials in late 2023 of its plans to move from Ilion to Georgia. The New York Times (NYT) reported. RemArms, the current owners of Remington Firearms, cited “production inefficiencies” in a Nov. 30 letter to union officials as the reason for closing the plant, The AP reported.
Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik blamed the move on “New York Democrats’ unconstitutional gun grab policies.”
