          only Mossberg and S+W of the pictures above are still in operation
          Winchester is being converted to City housing
          Remington was a decaying hulk with drug dealers and prostitutes nearby
          Colt moved to a new factoy
          Marlin - not pictured - also recently closed its North Haven CT plant
          Amazing how many Plants were/Are within a few miles of each other
