It is worthy of note that approx 8 days before the Sandy Hook shootings,the Gov of CT offered Bushmaster generous incentives,to move to CT.

While moving a mfg plant is a large undertaking,it can also be true the old facility and machinery is an obstacle to efficiency.

Taxes,perhaps a fresh wage and benefit structure,and a new plant layout based on modern manufacturing methods might breath new life into Colt made in USA.

Many of those old plants were located so that a mill wheel in the river could drive a jackshaft in the ceiling .The plant was laid out to place the machines under the jackshafts.

A modern facility can be designed around workflow and processes.
