Great news for Alabama and Freedom Group, sorry for New York.
Realize that there no longer is a company named "Remington", but "Remington" is a brand name now owned by the Freedom Group, who also owns the "DPMS", "Bushmaster", and "Marlin" brand names. All those companies really ceased to exist as we knew them, while certain real or intellectual property were retained by Freedom Group, with the legacy ownership of each paid off or sent packing.
Labor and political costs in New York simply can't compete with the Deep South, especially in right-to-work States like AL. Should be a good move in the long run for everyone.
