Remington Relocates to Georgia After Over 200 Years in New York

The move, driven by production inefficiencies and restrictive gun laws, leaves Ilion residents mourning the loss of a historic identity.

Remington, America's oldest gun manufacturer, is relocating from New York to Georgia in March after over 200 years in Mohawk Valley.
The move is attributed to 'production inefficiencies' and New York's restrictive gun laws, which have been criticized by company officials and Republican representatives.
Ilion, New York, residents express deep concern over the loss of the town's identity and history, as generations of families have worked at the plant.
The closure of the Ilion plant will result in approximately 300 job losses and significant revenue loss for the local community.
Remington's CEO cites a welcoming environment for the firearms industry in Georgia as a key factor in the decision to move.
