Reorganization Of Smith & Wesson By TFL Member's?

Ok anti-up time:

I can get $5000 to place in an Escrow account. We should organize a fund then use it as a down to negotiate a loan. Once the loan is negotiated we can make a bid. then All we need is the factory, and the plans. We do not want the *&* name. We negotiate with the employees and not thier union. (If I remember right thier union supports Gore). If they give us any trouble there is a 1988 SCOTUS ruling called BECK V.COMMUNICATIONS WORKERS. That states that any union funds that are used politicaly, can be requested by the union member as a refund of union dues. This is to stop a union member from having his or her money used to support a political cause they might not agree with. Needless to say most union members do not know about this .

As for my own position, I'll take anything that's avalable. As long as it pays enough to pay my bills. For about a year or so.

Guess I'd best not recommend Ironbarr (but I really WOULD LOVE that shot!) Thanks a lot BadMedicine.... :(

ADan,

Hey! Thanks for the vote of confidence in naming me to head the new S&W! Not sure what I did to deserve that role, but let me shatter any illusions immediately... :)

MEMO TO ALL NEW S&W STAFF

FROM: President & CEO Mike Irwin

Subject: Product lineup changes

Effective immediately, the following product changes will be made:

1. The following semi-automatic handguns will be dropped from production - All of them. :eek:

2. The 696 .44 Spl. will be re-engineered as a 5-shot K-frame.

3. The current 696 will serve as a production test-bed for a 5-shot revolver chambered in .41 Magnum/.41 S&W Special (a new joint development project between S&W and Remington).

4. Custom Shop Certificate Model 27s will be introduced, employing the very highest manufacturing, fit, and finish standards that we can bring to bear, and reviving the circa 1935 standards for polishing, bluing, and case hardening.

5. R&D will investigate ways to bring the price of the Schofield model down from the stratosphere so that it will be of greater interest to Cowboy Action shooters. There is no logical reason for a Colt Cowboy to cost $500, and our Schofield to be double that.

6. There will be Shiner Bock on tap in the lunchroom every day.

Thank you, that is all. :D

5.

Smith & Wesson is dead to me.

If you want a Smith & Wesson, buy USED!
 
OK, I'll play here too. If you move operations to the Shiner, TX area, here's my idea: Since there is a triad of cities in Lavaca County (where shiner is), 2 of the 3 have industries already.
Yoakum has the world's leather factories. Good place to make holsters, and leather gear for the guns, Shiner of course has the company picnics covered. Free beer during lunch breaks (3 beer limit at the courtesy room), so I vote to move Smith and Wesson/TFL et. al. to Hallettsville, TX. There is no industry, but they have the right attitude. When TX seceeded from the Union, Hallettsville Seceeded from TX to form the "Free State of Lavaca." When TX Rangers went there to force conscripts into the CSA, they never came back. When the Union sent spies to recruit there, they never came back. They seceeded from both the Union, the Confederacy and Texas! With history like that, how couldn't you want to set up operations there?
 
Bluesman, Thanks for the job reference! I would love to have a job where the employees get to be armed, not just the 'consumers'.
Besides having a degree in physics along with my teaching cert. I have worked everything from food service to home improvement. I've also done some welding, lathing, a touch of robotics programming (okay, it was in Edlin but I can modernize!)and would be just as happy running machines on the floor or hauling boxes. Count me in!
I definitely think FUD should be in charge of quality control. For FUD, if anything can go wrong it will so he will wrangle out any concievable flaw. Just don't put him in charge of real estate... I don't want to fight the homeowners' association on this one. :D

I got $43 and some pocket change ... how much company stock will that buy me? :D

Every well run company has an employee daycare. I can be in charge of caring for everyone's children. ... Now where did I put those straight-jackets?

Remember: First you pillage ... then you burn!
 
I think y'all are forgetting something. You're going to need some people to actually run the machines.

I can program set-up and operate lathes and VMC's with either FANUC or Okuma CNC controllers. Y'all can run the company, I just want to make the guns. ;)

I also volunteer to coordinate all office parties :D As long as Blue is watching my kid!

Miss D calls up the Shiner corp and requests 35 kegs... :D

That's what I like to see. A CEO that is willing to step in and take charge. :D

Dan, thank you for the job.
I don't really care which state you decide for operations. I would, however, like to request that the Treasure's office (Mine) be located between the Secretaries office (Miss D) and the Public Affairs office (Tamara's). ;)

If you will do that I'll drop that 100K check in the mail tomorrow.

I was promised a Shortycicle and I want a Shortycicle!
 
I don't care what the rest of you do, but I want to be in R&D.

Specifically, testing out prototypes & new products.

Heck, shoot all day, with free ammo AND get paid for it?

Where's my wings, that would be heaven!!!

:D, -Kframe
 
I do not doubt that if the company went on the block, that American gun folks could come up with the cash...

Can anyone find out what the approximate value of the facilities and intellectual properties are? The name is ruined, altho the publicty our "hostile" takeover could bring could be interesting.

I don't have a hundred large lying around, but I could buy some stock...
 
The Blues Man and Ala Dan,
Thanks for the security job offer... I'll take it. :)
Bad Medicine....security is a 24/7 job, 7th Fleet and I sure could use your help, bring your dogs and equipment and lets get going...gotta keep all those anti's (mmm etc) away from the plant so other folks can get their job done. ;)

Geez, I guess I should be using a catchy board nickname instead of my own name, it'd be easier to get picked for a job at the new S&W. :(

As for location, come on down to Volusia County, Florida. A very pro-RKBA place. I can personally line you up with people from the county's economic development agency who will crawl on their bellies like reptiles to get a major manufacturer to come here. You ain't SEEN sucking up till you've seen these guys trying to get a new company to move in.

Plus we got Daytona Beach, NASCAR, Bike Week and THREE NFL teams (Jags, Bucs, Fins) within weekend-trip driving range!
 
Hey David,

I use my real name, not a nickname, and I got the top job in the new S&W!

Don't worry, we'll find you something interesting. We take care of our own. :)

You guys forgot ballistics! I have a masters in physics? Can I help somewhere?

I could always work in the cafeteria :p
 
... I can't seem to find those straight-jackets ... I wonder if Foxfire has any kiddie-sized duct tape? ... Just kidding! Of course I don't tie my kid up with duct tape, and I'd let him tell you that himself ... except he's locked in the closet right now. :D

Foxfire has to be the head of the maintenance department, with all that duct tape he is definately prepared.

Save your clean brass ... we need toys for the daycare center. :D

Blueyedog,
There are a number of steps between conquest and burn - a lot more than mere "pillage". ;) (heh, heh, heh!)
