Anyone know where in N.C.?
According to their Facebook page, it is Connelly Springs. That is just to the east of Morganton along Interstate 40. It explains why you see mountains in the picture. It is the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Cali to Montana to NC…kinda circuitous route.
Good company, honest brokers and decent bit of history. IME their gear is usually good, overbuilt if nothing else, and when something is wrong like a slippy knob, they fix it. No idea why theyre moving, better proximity to US gov and dod…maybe moved to MT lookin for better people then experienced the winter (6months+ of dark ice fog days, wet cold, cement snow…NW MT definitely ain’t a Bogner and Gorsuch winter wonderland), now off to NC for good people+easy weather? Good luck.
Our mountains are kinda odd choice. No where near DOD or Gov, no easy big airports, mountain weather is not horrible but it’s not exactly clear blue sky’s.
Ray,
You have to know that there are a lot of weapon manufacturers in the Carolina area. Main one to mention is Palmetto Armory who has a lot of government contracts. There are other production companies of the sort here as well. It only makes sense to me.
FWIW, they’re 13 minutes from a airport hosting corporate and private aircraft, and an hour from CLT. Plus, easy access to the interstate. I’d say they chose well.
