Absolutely not. I really like the current Winchester products, but I'd not advocate such action under any circumstances.

And yes I know saving a gun manufacturer would raise a few eyebrows and it wouldn't save nearly as many jobs as Harley.

Irrelevant. If the product isn't competitive, which I'd dispute, then it deserves to be gone. I'd hope someone buys the rights, plant, and continues the line, but if not, ce la vie.

How about we contract them to do a run of commemorative hand guns to be presented to all U.S. military officers, that should keep them afloat for awhile.

Oh, I want mine. I'm still an officer.
Not.
I'm ordering one more model 94 come Monday, not for speculation, but to shoot. If they continue, great, if not, too bad. Not one dime of stolen money should head their way as a bailout.
