Having worked for both a union and Ruger firearms, I can say with confidence that the union will do everything in its power to destroy the company and move jobs to non-union states while blathering about worker's rights and voting for Democrats, and Ruger will oblige them by moving resources and jobs to either Arizona or North Carolina and not worry one bit about disaffected workers in NY.
I have a Marlin 1894 made in 2018 that I have been planning on selling since it is a giant *** compared to my JM 1894. It will be quite entertaining if it actually gains value due to being one of the last Marlin-made rifles. I was going to take it to the local gun shop and sell it on consignment for $500 and hope to get rid of it. Perhaps I should hold onto it a couple of more years and see if the value increases.
