I agree, what a shame. I started my hunting with a Winchester Model 67a youth rifle, (still have it, along with a spare) that I bought for $15.00. Winchester, of which my uncle worked as a tool and die maker, was a great company in New Haven Ct. They are closing and the last 180 workers left are out the door. They are fighting for severance pay, as they see no future. The mayor of New Haven john DeStefano fought to have guns banned with the lawsuits, but when Winchester announced that it was closing, he tried to stick up for it and keep it. A real tradegy that the firm is leaving, I believe the high cost of taxes and running a business in CT was the cause. I will always treasure my two Winchester Model 67a's and they will be passed down. (One of the few guns Winchester made with no serial numbers, thats how popular they were) Thanks for your concern. again a real American manufacturing tragedy.
