Given what we have seen these firearm companies weather to not relocate, I wouldnt be surprised if they lean on their manufacturing in Brazil and Croatia to make the things Illinois bans and sidestep the whole thing while continuing to let those trying to bankrupt them suckle at their teat. The same as Colt, Kimber, Smith and Wesson, etc.

It looks like they recently expanded their manufacturing operations in Illinois.

The more than 200,000 square foot facility will house manufacturing, research & development, distribution operations, administration and much more, with initial phases expected to open within the year.

“Springfield Armory has seen unprecedented demand for products such as the Hellcat — the world’s smallest, highest-capacity 9mm — the Model 2020 Waypoint bolt-action, and many other cutting-edge offerings,” explains Stephen McKelvain, President of Springfield Armory. “With this new facility, we will be able to continue to deliver our in-demand products, as well as develop even more new and exciting offerings...”

Yeah, I'd Mayflower that whole operation. Then I think I'd do an Israeli thing and blow it in place or demolish the entire facility. Then maybe sell it to DOE for nuke waste storage or something.
