I didn't see a note on this and I don't know how much publicity got out
of New Hampshire. The Thompson Center Arms company in Rochester NH
burned this weekend. They will be annoucing the plan today of getting
the factory rebuilt and the impact to the 500 employees. The news
flashes showed it was a real barn burner.

The fire started about 10 pm on 3/27 and all employees in the building
got out safely. At 11:15 & 11:30 pm that night cahnnel 9 news out of
Manchester, NH had their helicopter flying over giving LIVE video. The
entire place was either in flames or smoke was pouring out. I caught a
note on the same news station last night and T/C stated they hoped to
be back in production by July.

P.S. Anyone who was thinking about buying
better do so quickly as dealers stock
shrink the prices will start to rise
quickly.

I was told that only the woodshop burned and that the tooling for the metal work was still okay... Is that the straight scoop or what?? Al | |||||
