S&W will keep the MA facility and all revolvers will be built there.
US129 was the best route from my folk's place near Franklin, NC over the Chillowee's. I had fun in my wife's lil' 5 spd Toyota, while she never peeped I could hear her throat click when she swallowed hard all those times. Not so much fun on the Alcoa, the graded crossings were adventuresome.
