The Guide Guns are very nice.
Was looking at the new ones with the full length mag tubes and the big loop levers, prices were a little steep.
Guess I'll wait and see what happens.

Really sad to hear. I noticed that Marlin, who always had really nice wood/checkering that after Remington bought them, that quality dropped. Personally, Marlin had one of he nicest lever actions right out of the box.

I suspect they'll open up in a right to work state with constructionist view of 2nd Amendment rights...I have a 39A that Dad got my for Christmas in 1964...

Sounds like they are coming to Tennessee ...
... and no state income tax, either.

To an anti-gun, high-tax, high-cost, union labor state?
Rigggght. Great business plan. 
I would expect them to be reopening south of the Mason-Dixon line, or in the Southwest.
