They used to have their offices in St Albans, VT. The offices are in Florida now, the warehouses are in Georgia, VT primarily, and they may still have one in St Albans, but they are out of their old one. I've got a friend that lives across the tracks from their old place.

Did you H&R had S&W ties?
(Baby brother Frank Wesson started his own firearms manufacturing firm in 1859, sharing an early patent with Nathan Harrington. Wesson produced his famous two trigger rifles and spur trigger pistols and pocket rifles. He shared a brief partnership with his nephew Gilbert Harrington, as Wesson and Harrington. In 1875 Harrington and another former Wesson employee, William Richardson formed the new H&R company. Both Richardson and Harrington died in 1897.)

Hartford Armory in Ct. Made clones of the 1875 and 1890 Remington pistols. Now working on war releated parts.
Here's a new one, the "Lusa" is currently being made in N.H.. The owner of Rileys in Hooksett N.H. is part owner of the new firm.

Did someone mention Stag-Arms in New Britian CT...i own one..so do a bunch of my friends....
No mention of PTR which is located in Farmington, CT that makes a great HK 91 clone and also Gonic Arms located in Gonic, NH which makes an inline muzzle loader that to me is a rip off of thompson center arms.
Made some more changes and added some links. If some of you could do some research or have pictures or history to add, please do so. Thanks.
Got it.
Edit: If I missed anyone's post, send it again. Thanks.
Got PTR91 Inc, but fixed town for you. Gonic isn't coming up. Are they gone (ic)? Dig up something, and I'll post in lost ones area. Thanks.
Robbins & ?? in vermont made many guns for civil war several different makes.
mass arms of boston.and there was a company in worchester that made colt 45 colt clones.![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
Need some more details on this one. Pictures, history, whatever.
Got it.
Got it.
Anyone here clever with Google Maps or another mapping program and have some time? It would be pretty neat to see where these all are in relation to each other and in relation to the various N.E. gun shops.
I moved Ethan Allen to the "lost" area, but linked to a search I started. If anyone else can research the unlinked ones, it would be most helpful. When replying, indicate if they are currently in business or "lost".
