Anyone know what TC is still producing. Or will Remington close them up?

FWIW, I don't think Remington can/will close a Smith & Wesson affilliate.

AFAIK, S&W is closing T/C's Rochester NH plant/location, and moving SOME producton/employees to S&W's main plant in Springfield MA.

Speculation is that S&W acquired T/C in 2006 to own T/C's investment casting technology/facilities, and it's most likely that not many of the older, traditional side-hammer frontstuffers will not survive the move, nor replacement parts for them be available,  beyond what's already in the parts bins.

That's my story ranger44 and I'm sticking with it. Yup Remington is behind all our gun world problems. I'm blaming them for it all.... :o
