FN, who manf. winchester guns under license, closed one of two US plants.

should they fail to be in production, the Rights revert to Olin (who OWNS winchester) ... who I doubt will allow it to sit idle long, as they make no money from an idle license

I agree with jeffeoso...if anyone thinks that Winchester (Olin) is going to stop making the two rifles that have been their bread and butter (M70 & M94) for years, then they don’t know much about the marketplace.
