These machines look old, but I think they were still being used prior to auction. Cutting away the ballast? Why move old, outdated machines when you're planning a fresh start.

If they have been depreciated out time to at least see what they will bring from who ever is interested.

I've delivered several machines to Remington and Ruger over the last couple years. It's a quantity/quality issue. Some of the newer mills/lathes will produce 3-1 with tighter tolerances. We just delivered 26 new machines to Para USA in December. And moved out a bunch of old ones. Updating is all it is really.

A magazine, name forgotten, announced that the company had changed hands again, renamed Remington Outdoors and was leaving New York for Tennessee. Might've been in the NRA mag. That's the only one I get in the mail. Sound familiar to anyone?

Christmas Comes Early In Ilion, New York: Remington Outdoor Company Avoids A Political Fire Sale - Forbes

"Remington, for example, had purchased Marlin Firearms and moved its machinery to this plant in Ilion. Workers soon found that the machinery—ancient lathes, barrel reamers and more—were a half-century out of date. They had trouble making Marlin’s iconic lever-action rifles with them. But now they’ve spent $8 million on new CNC machines for Marlin. These machines are churning out lever-action rifles. I saw the old machines lined up in rooms. Merz explained that they’d be sold for scrap."

Perhaps, ancient and out of date equipment is finally being sold for scrap...
