Gun Manufacturer Cancels Plans For New Facility In Brentwood NH

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.
 
Can you even trust NH anymore with all of the left wing autocrats that are taking over the south? You folks have to remain strong and repel the Stalinist elitist scum.

I doubt they’ll leave NH. Kevin Brittingham Owns Q. He also started AAC.

He has said many times he loves NH, I di uh but very much Q is going somewhere else.

I have a Trash Panda and Erector 9 on my short list of slush fund purchases, after I finish paying for my binos. If I hit the lotto, a Fix and dedicated Half Nelson would totally be my first purchase.

Kevin Brittingham doesn’t play well with others. But he does play exceeding well on his own. Which is where the once and future firearms industry entrepreneur finds himself after leaving SIG SAUER for greener, less bureaucratic pastures. Kevin’s new, independent venture is a stone’s throw away from SIG in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I spent an hour talking to Kevin about “Q” and his vision for the future. First, a potted history . . .

Kevin started AAC silencers before silencers were cool. He grew the company from a backyard operation into a multi-million dollar business making industry leading suppressors. He sold AAC to what was then called The Freedom Group (now Remington Outdoors) — only to find himself fired from the company he founded.

Kevin eventually landed at SIG SAUER, bringing SIG’s silencer line to market and assisting in the development of several projects. Earlier this year he decided SIG wasn’t a good fit and left to form his own company. He’s back where we started: at the helm of his own small startup firearms company.

“Back in October I was approached by a Texas oil billionaire,” Kevin told TTAG. “He wanted a majority ownership of the new company, but some of the people I wanted to bring over didn’t want that.”

More at the link.

He goes on sporadic lengthy Q&A's on Instagram.

He's obviously out of his gourd if he was dumb enough to sell AAC.

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

Oh the irony of a new suppressor company moving in to a town to face backlash because the residents complain of the sounds of gunshots.

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!

Because Obama promised us Hope and Change. Looking forward is a socialists dream. We don't need Globalism or hope and change thingy. But you are right, buy the land or STFU. Our country changed drastically since the mid 60s.

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.,)

Convincing people to jump aboard the gov contract roller coaster of uncertainty laid out in front of them might be one of the problems. Im sure Sig ( and many others ) is a good company, and id love to work there, but seeing open positions frequently makes you wonder. Are people treated unfairly or has the work dried up ?
 
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....

Gas and electric lines that would do little for the actual NH residents that would have to acquiesce.

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.

Either one of those companies could have defeated the nimbys with kickbacks to the easement towns but they were too stupid to do that.

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.
