Here goes,

The better question is.......who cheated by googling the addresses before answering? :s0114:

Just for grins, I got Springfield, Colt, Glock, S&W, and Noveske without googling. Drew a blank on the rest.

Yeah, that!

I got 4. Colt, Ruger, S&W & Noveske from memory, but wouldn't have been close on any others. Remington should be Illion!
 
Wow, folks really know their gun makers. Correct Answers:

A. 420 West Main Street. Geneseo, IL
Springfield Armory, Inc. Note Armalite is also headquartered in Geneseo.

B. 545 New Park Avenue. West Hartford, CT
The prancing pony - Colt's Firearms Manufacturing Company. Looks like everyone got it.

C. 1475 Cox Road. Cocoa, FL
Kel-Tec CNC Industries

D. PO Box 700. Madison, NC
This is the Remington Arms Company headquarters. The original main plant is actually in Illion, NY and probably would have been a better choice as orygun noted.

E. 1 Lacey Place. Southport, CT
Sturm Ruger & Co.

F. 6000 Highlands Parkway. Smyrna, GA
Glock, Inc. The mothership of course is in Deutsch-Wagram, a suburb of Vienna from what I understand.

G. 100 Roosevelt Avenue. Springfield, MA
Smith & Wesson.

H. 594 NE E St. Suite A. Grants Pass, OR
Noveske Rifleworks Props to Oregonians for knowing their own.

I. 921 Main Street. Worcester, MA
The challenge. This was a placeholder for the original Harrington & Richardson Firearms firm, whose street address changed a few times. I actually goofed and listed the home address of William Richardson, who lived down the street.

Why a challenge? H&R went out of business in 1986. :)

Anyway, looks like I'll hafta scrounge my basement for more prizes - so far, qualityfishing and netcarrier have nailed this. :s0155:
 
Yes i googled, i didn't see that that was a no no, guess i was just in a super hurry and didnt read the thread well. But im honest. if that puts me out im ok with that because im honest and thats the win right there.


i would have got
A. Springfield Armory

B. Colt 545

C. Kel-Tec think i would have got this one anyway.

D. Remington Arms

E. Sturm Ruger , just sent a gun back to az the other day and was on the main websites finding the correct address



G. Smith & Wesson 100 Roosevelt Avenue. Springfield, MA
