Windham Weaponry is shutting down:

Back in the 90's shooting NRA matches used a Bushmaster, didn't have enough money for a Colt back then. That rifle served me well, when Windham opened purchased couple of there 16" rifles and they have been solid performers. Wonder if Aero would relocate, know they just did a major facility overhaul but being in hostile territory and all this could be a good fit for everyone.

Talked about this with my brother yesterday.

Too bad Aero Precision didn't want to leave Washington

If it becomes a walk through auction, I will be attending. Machines/tooling would be plentiful.

It's the end of a legacy for that plant. Total shame.

As a Mainer, I feel bad for not buying more of their stuff.

But my main issue was always that they did not offer a rifle or upper in the config I would want or the wrong twist etc. They didn't have a proper niche for their pricing tier. I feel bad for the guys who will lose their job over the closure.

One of my favorite rifle companies and I have two of their products. The Dissipator M4 A3 in 5.56 NATO. And the R16SFST-308 in 7.62 NATO (AR-10 style.)

Awesome guns with durable barrels.

I was tempted when looking at straight walls to get their 450 Thumper in .450 Bush Master.

Auction 23-111 SECURED PARTY SALE BY PUBLIC SEALED BID 23-111 GENERAL INTANGIBLES OF WINDHAM WEAPONRY ************************************************* SEALED BID DEADLINE: MONDAY,OCTOBER 16, 2023 at 11AM ************************************************* SEALED BIDS WILL BE OPENED AFTER 1PM AT KEENAN AUCTION COMPANY, 2063 CONGRESS ST., PORTLAND, ME. ************************************************* THE WINDHAM WEAPONRY STORY A team of the finest firearms manufacturers in the U.S.A. has been re-assembled to bring to market the highest quality AR type rifle possible. These good Maine folks – most of whom are former employees of Bushmaster Firearms – offer many years of experience in the industry, and all look forward to working with you, to serving your needs, and to building you a great rifle. When the people who bought Bushmaster in 2006 decided to move it “lock, stock and barrel” out of Maine to New York in 2011, the original Bushmaster owner, Mr. Richard Dyke was left with both a dilemma and an opportunity. Almost to the day of the 2011 move, Mr. Dyke’s non-compete clause expired. He still owned the property where Bushmaster had been built, and knew all the workers – now laid off – who had helped him build it. He made a decision to “get back in the game” and promptly put an email out to many of his former employees and friends asking if there was interest in joining him for a new project. With a resounding “yes” of support, he gathered the financing in two days, and started bringing people back into their long-time Windham manufacturing home. Phoenix-like, Windham Weaponry was on the rise. Within three months, the first productions models of the new Windham Weaponry line had been perfected and delivered. Quality, fit, finish, durability, accuracy and value were all superb – giving credence to Windham Weaponry’s motto “The Quality Goes In, Before The Rifle Goes Out”. The firearms industry and consumers welcomed this new effort warmly, old friends and contacts were re-established, and sales grew. In less than a year and a half, Windham Weaponry had brought back almost 70 employees, benchmarked impressive sales numbers, and established their name as one of the pre-eminent firearms manufacturers in the country. The press heralded it as “truly an American success story”, and all due to the vision of its founder. Further growth for Windham Weaponry has already been planned and implemented. “The Quality Goes In, Before The Rifle Goes Out”.

I wish I could be there and had the financing. As I pointed out earlier, two of my finest and most accurate rifles are WW products.
