Smith & Wesson Moving HQ to TN

[Rockchuck]

I just seen where smith and wesson is leaving Springfield mass. They are headed to Maryville Tennessee. They are moving headquarters and some manufacturing.

Looks like they will still manufacture some stuff in Springfield

Good. It was inevitable. I lived up in / near Mass. Dreadful place.

I was just getting ready to post about this!! Excited for them! Get out of that mess where they don't appreciate you or your tax dollars!

Years ago a good proportion of S&W’s factory floor workers were women. All around, nice folks…they are the ones that lose, as do all the places where their income was spent. Huge open floor factory, forge rocks the whole place. With the install of CNC tools, there were far less workers. Very memorable place to have spent time. Sad as far as I’m concerned.

We’re looking forward in their arrival! TN welcomes all who support the 2A.

I am happy to see that Smith & Wesson or their parent company is bullish enough on America to move their plant to a more gun friendly state. My belief is that the plan was in the works before the current administration took office. I wish them the best of luck.

Agree, I spoke with one of their sales rep at Bud’s Gun Shop in Sevierville today when I picked up my Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor PR. Buds has a big sale on S&W handguns over the weekend.

Cheers,

I want to see the gun and ammo makers refuse to sell ammo and guns to any state agency in any state that allows this kind of unconstitutional legislation to exist. Let the state lawmakers defend them selves with a sling shot.

^^^^^ What he said . But the funny part is those are the states and cities who demand the biggest discount for their LEO's . While they try with all their "POWER" to take our guns away .

S&W, Barrett and Berretta make the slogan true, "Welcome to Tennessee...the patron state of shootin' stuff."

 

[itchyTF]

Barrett is in TN?

Lee Co VA needs to move into TN. TN is just like a mile for my home. Look north and you can see KY at top of MTN and TN is just a ridge away looking south. We have been thinking about find a place just over the state line.

Yes, Murfreesboro.
