Move model 70 production to Texas!

I don't see how moving production to Japan or Belgium will cut costs. Wages are high there as well. If a Connecticut/Union machinist has to make $60/hr, then move production to semi-rural Texas; some place like San Angelo, Abilene, Stephenville, etc. Folks live extremeley well there on $20/hr. Stay away from the big cities and south Texas, as the cost of living is getting pretty high. Other states with lower costs of living should be considered too. No Texan or southerner jokes please. I think you'd get a better overall product in the end as well, with a number of other overhead savings.

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

Well.. in japan and belgium they use cnc machines, that cut production time in half or more, so they will produce more.

I heard the equipment in the winchster plant is still manually operated.
