There is a small aticle in the Syracuse NY Fri. paper that mentions that the Winchester(US Repeating Arms Co) plant will close at the end of the month after an unsuccessfull 2 month search for a buyer for the company.After the Itaca Gun works closed the company was reformed and operated in a much smaller scale in King Ferry NYin the old school building.The operation then moved to Auburn a couple years ago and has recently gone out of business again.I remember seeing new Ithaca Shotguns advertised in the fall of 2004. I agree with you guys ,it is a great loss, partially caused by lawsuits and anti-gun sentiment popular today. Personally I think another reason is that Hunting and shooting sports are not popular with younger people anymore so that cuts the demand for new guns, especially rifles and shotguns way down, except for newer developments that arent as plentiful used , such as in-line muzzleloaders.
