I think I would rather work in Norwich than Monson!

That's for sure!
Monson probably had some nice looking years, but it still doesn't compare to the great looking Norwich location.

I'd work in either one of those spots if they ever fire them up again to produce DW's...

Wonderful post. I have to say I am ( from a distance) rather envious of anyone that got to( or still gets to ) work on a guns. I have been working on computers for close to 25 years now.. and as I look towards retirement... I know one thing I don't really want to .... more computers. I would love to get to work with my hands (other than on a keyboard). I spoke with a guy today, he runs his own shop which works on machines (factory machines on production lines) on a side he also builds long range rifles. Very neat fellow, I had him do some work for me... sub-12 hour turn around.
Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box
in that order.

Last time I did research on the original monson plant, it was pretty much deemed a toxic wasteland due to the chemicals that were in the soil beneath/around the plant.

Here is a post to a video about the old Monson plant:
Here's a post showing photos after the building was removed.
