Unions, Management, and is Winchester ever coming back?
« on: June 04, 2009, 10:15:52 AM »
One of my true regrets in life is not buying a new Model 94, or a 70 Classic.  I've always been partial to single shots, but these are works of art.  (I know, I know, there are tons out there, but it just isn't the same for me)

It was a very sad day when management and workers couldn't save this brand.  Will we ever see anything other than a few distant cousins come back to the market?
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.  Ronaldus Maximus

You have to want to save something to do so . From the quality that i saw on some of the rifles on store racks and a few i bought they were more concerned with getting rich more than building a good product.

At least the Mod 70 is being made in a NON-Union plant with quality to boot. Maybe someone else will pick up the Mod 94

Quality from a non-union plant?  Impossible!  How can you make a good product without fool-proof job security, hourly half hour coffee breaks and job banks that pay you to not work?
