It will be interesting to see the incentives SC provided. What is interesting to me is Horry county is a tourist destination (Myrtle Beach comes to mind) as opposed to an industrially oriented area such as the upstate. My guess is a few of the principals have a serious golf addiction.

I suppose it was too much to hope the other Connecticut gun maker would be leaving...

That and liking women in bikinis, I can see no other reason why they would go down there instead of the Upstate. Heck, even around Columbia would make more sense.

I can. If they plan on trying to attract existing talent to their company, rather than just draw locally, the location would be a perk for moving.

Never heard of them.
What do they make?
OK, I see. Black scary not-AR rifles. http://www.ptr91.com/products/ (http://www.ptr91.com/products/)

What's up with their plastic trigger group?
They list it on every model of rifle they have like it's a good thing. Sounds like something I wouldn't want.
My Plum Crazy lower has a plastic trigger group. Horrible in comparison to either my GI DPMS kit or my RRA service rifle competition kit.

On a G3 type rifle the term "trigger group" refers to the pistol grip and housing. The Navy polymer is a one piece grip and housing (almost what would be a lower on an AR) that is preferred by some RDB folks. IIRC HK made it for either our navy or their GSG-9 as an upgrade to the MP5.
The "trigger pack" (sear, trigger, hammer, other parts) is still metal.
ETA: I think the Navy groups are ambi as well. Prolly why PTR used them.

Ah, OK. Gotcha. Thanks.

Latest rumor is a high percentage of CT employees are using the relo as an excuse to go over the wall. When co's relo to a lower cost area wages and bennies are usually frozen for a period of time. New hires come in at the lower competitive labor rates. Everyone wins except for the taxpayer who has to pay the bribes.
