For what it's worth, there's a big gun manufactorer not too far from the Lakes Region. Heading over towards Lebanon and Enfield, NH, somewhere, there's a big factory building called 'Pine Tree Castings' on its' little sign, and it is, I believe, the Sturm Ruger company. The state road goes right past the factory entrance. Just next door, another place sells very nice wool blanket, factory seconds.
Could be worth the drive for shopping some factory second, wool blankets and a factory second, machine gun, at a low New Hampshire factory price, of course!.


Most likely, there is absolutely no way that Sturm Ruger, a large gun maker, will follow the trails of Annalee Dolls of Meredith, or L C Packard woolen mill of Ashland, and be bought out and get moved to China.
It seems more likely that China could be moving some of its' factories, offshore here to New Hampshire, to utilize our low-pay, New Hampshire work force.
