End of an era as Winchester rifle plant prepares to close.

http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wi...ostemailedlink

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- U.S. Repeating Arms Co. Inc. said Tuesday it will close its Winchester firearm factory, threatening the future of a rifle that was once called "The Gun that Won the West."

Still gonna be made in Belgium and China though.

Hmmm?..."Gun that won the west." - Musta killed many an injun during the 'ethnic cleansing' of the west!?

Can't the USA make anything anymore?
