U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Massachusetts state legislators have thrown a straw on the camel’s back and forced 75 jobs to pull up roots and head to the Volunteer State. Citing the Bay State’s “changing climate for firearms manufacturers,” Troy Industries is leaving for Tennessee.
Troy’s announcement highlights the growing hostility from Massachusetts lawmakers towards the firearm industry. Legislators introduced
legislation to ban outright the production of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) that are to private citizens – even those outside the commonwealth. Troy Industries, a manufacturer of MSRs, magazines, and other firearm accessories will instead spend $7.2 million to relocate. Tennessee’s gain is Massachusetts’ loss.

Troy Industries announced it will relocate its headquarters and manufacturing plant from West Springfield, MA, to Clarksville, TN. The five-year, $7.2 million investment will begin this June.
Troy is known for its small arms components, accessories and complete weapon upgrades.
Troy projects it will offer 75 new jobs in the Montgomery County area. “I appreciate Troy for choosing to relocate to Tennessee and am proud to partner with this world-renowned firearms manufacturer. When companies pick Tennessee to locate or expand their operations, it is a vote of confidence to our state’s business-friendly climate and skilled workforce. I thank Troy for this investment and the creation of new jobs for Tennesseans,” said Gov. Bill Lee.
