Sad to see again, the whole New Haven, Bridgeport and surrounding area has
seen so many good companies fall.

Should there be any other former Winchester employees of a nostalgic bent,
there is a privately published, 1996 book entitled "WINCHESTER - The Way It
Really Was" by Pauline Muerrle, former Factory Engraver.

Going out of business or just relocating to get rid of the older well
paid work force? The story did not really say.....Will US Repeating
arms soon be China Repeating arms?

Rumor has it that the production is going to Belgium. However, that might
be a guess since USRAC is owned by the Herstal Group. There has been no
official announcement yet. About 200 people will lose their jobs. The
Winchester name is still owned by Olin and might stay in the USA

The link is to the correct site, it just looks like they are
either relying on javascript to do something, and there's no
time-out so if the thing never happens, the browser locks up.

I've found there are some sites that require all the bells/whistles
running or they hang things up.

Ebay auctions do that often, when I run a bare-bones browser
some things seem to take forever to get to go.
