Kimber moves corporate headquarters to Alabama

**Slater** · 10-26-20, 19:26

Seems to be some of that going around in recent years:

"Kimber Mfg., is pleased to name Troy, Alabama, as its official corporate headquarters and to announce it is hiring aggressively in all departments. After a carefully planned shift of leadership, R&D and manufacturing resources, Kimber has made substantial progress in the transition to its new, state-of-the-art headquarters in Troy, Alabama. The final step in completing this new facility is adding staff across all departments."

I'd be perfectly content seeing all manufacturers move out of states that limit their citizens 2A rights.

Ahh yes. It all makes SENSE now...

Hopefully it works out better than Remington's Alabama move.

There is nothing happening at the plant. Parking lots are empty with no trucks coming in or out. Hopefully the company that purchased that branch of the business cranks back up and puts some people to work.

I need to dissappear the Remington Ave road sign before it's too late.

GET IT!! That would be AWESOME!
I really hope someone who CARES about that once great name will buy it & restore the reputation it once had.
Came across an old pic of me and some friends in my bedroom back in '78/'79 or so...and on the gunrack on the wall above my bed was my trusty old Model 788 in .243.
I kinda got sad a little.

I do hope Kimber does a lot better than the cluster F#$#'s that bought Remington and AAC, Bushmaster, H&R and other firearms company's then ran them into the ground.
I've met some good people that worked at Remington in Huntsville. Due to the way Remington was set up they built they own firearms, but the guns would have to be shipped out of state then transferred back to a FFL here in AL. to be picked up by them.
Well this time the South will have a industry base this time around and the North will have the farming...��
