When jplower stated ;
Most recently, our collectors association president was at the factory. All the machinery used to manufacture the SA has been removed. The parts are currently being made in New Jersey, shipped to the factory and assembled there. The union and Conneticut's anti gun stance has led to this. When I was there 12 years ago, back orders for the SA stood at 10,000! This from the CEO, William Keys, and the plant manager at the time, John Young. Colt still does the case color and blue, fitting. And on the Cowboy, those frames were made by Ruger, they were investment castings with standard sa parts attached. The frames were "colored" with a witches brew of molten salts, whereby the frame was dipped for a few minutes and then quenched.

He was referring to Colt .... I stated I'd be surprised if NJ was " Gun Friendly "
I do not assume where USFA was going if anywhere...
I do know The 16,000 square-foot Shady Lane building was refit for Colt back in 2011, an effort costing the county and the state $550,000. To-date, the building has been unoccupied.
