They are still in New England; Portsmouth NH to be exact. I have been in their facility and it is SMALL for the volume they push out.Someone spent a lot of time thinking about a company name.
I wonder why they withdrew. It would be nice to have more firearms manufacturers around New England.
I doubt they’ll leave NH. Kevin Brittingham Owns Q. He also started AAC.Someone spent a lot of time thinking about a company name.

Name aside, you'd think they'd spend more time picking a location before announcing it and then immediately withdrawing.Someone spent a lot of time thinking about a company name.

The beauty of being a private company is they dont need to worry about the market acting all retarded over the news and the stock dropping 10%.Name aside, you'd think they'd spend more time picking a location before announcing it and then immediately withdrawing.
Maybe they realized that they might have the same troubles as Sig. Hard to find qualified workers and high electricity costs.
At a recent meeting on the proposal, some residents complained about the sound of gunfire at Sig Sauer Academy, which has property in Brentwood and Epping, and worried that Q LLC’s proposal would add more noise
Ma**h***s moving to NH and ruining it

Because "true" NH residents are all peaches and sunshine. LOL.
Aside best-in-life: So there's this cranberry bog in Easton on Bay Rd. The owners aparantly want to build a solar farm. BIG ASS SIGNS being against the solar farm up and down the road.
Ya know what? If I were the owner, I'd tell em, "Ya know what? You're right. I'm gonna build a big ass 40B apartment complex instead." And then build it.
Frickin liberal babies (as opposed to conservative babies, but I digress) who "don't want the world to change" around them and then expect a landowner to comply with their bullcrap.
I'm 100% against these stupid solar farms. But if the moron that owns it wants to do that, you've got 2 choices - suck it up or buy out his land and start farming cran-freaking-berries. Otherwise STFU!!!!!
It's the same all over the northeast. It isn't a mASS thing. It's a whine thing. No one wants anything to change. Ever. Damn. Grow up, New England!

when I was doing wind turbines/solar, we called them NIMBY's Not in my back yard

Oh yeah. And the NH people who don't want a gas pipeline in their town are the same folks. Same with the 80' wide electrical-transmission swath through Maine. Not democrat. Not republican. Not conservative nor liberal. Just curmudgeons. People in most of the rest of America would be SHOCKED at the static people get for improving the area. (See also: Building permits in the region, etc.,)
I'd be happy to have a gas pipeline, I'd even sell them an acre to build it on, but only if there were a chance in hell that it would bring piped-in natural gas to residential customers. Neither Liberty nor Kinder Morgan proposed anything close to that, same for the CMP route across Maine -- it was all about cutting a corridor for high-volume transit across the state, with no feeders for end-users in the interior of the state.Gas and electric lines that would do little for the actual NH residents that would have to acquiesce.Oh yeah.

Either one of those companies could have defeated the nimbys with kickbacks to the easement towns but they were too stupid to do that.I'd be happy to have a gas pipeline, I'd even sell them an acre to build it on, but only if there were a chance in hell that it would bring piped-in natural gas to residential customers.

He’s a nice guy. He’s arrogant, no question. Smart people like that usually are. He treats his employees great. For a small company they have great benefits.If you start digging into this guys background he's not exactly non controversial... ill leave it at that. This is probably a hell of a lot more going on than just nimby whining here....
From what I have heard from several former SIG employees , SIG'S problem is SIG.Maybe they realized that they might have the same troubles as Sig. Hard to find qualified workers and high electricity costs.
When I looked at employee reviews for Sig,that seemed to be the case.From what I have heard from several former SIG employees , SIG'S problem is SIG.
