Remington may leave Ilion, New York as a result of the New York Safe Act. I have great memories of my trips to their factory. I will always cherish my Ilion marked rifles and shotguns. In the late 1980's I took an 1100 right to the factory for warranty repairs. Nobody was there on a Saturday morning. As I started to leave a man in a car pulled up and asked if he could help me. I told him I wanted to drop off a shotgun for repair. He asked me to wait and parked, invited me to follow him in to the factory. He took my shotgun and said he would look at the problem (I had explained what the issue was). He invited me to look around their public area and quite a few guns on display. In about 30 minutes he found me gave me back my shotgun and when I asked for his name he gavce me a card (I was going to send his "boss" a letter of thanks.) Turmned out he was the V>P> and he had fixed my problem himself. Great company. The town of Ilion will dry up and blow away if Remington leaves.
