I may be jumping the gun on this but I’m excited to share, I also need some help.
Many of you know I spent 20 years in the firearm industry, 15 years with Marlin Firearms as a production worker and CNC machine operator making Bolt Action gun stocks. The last 2 years with Marlin after the company was purchased by Remington I was a process setup specialist. When Remington announced they were moving Marlin from North Haven Connecticut to New York I took a chance and applied at
O.F. Mossberg & Sons which home office and original manufacturing site was less then a mile from the Marlin plant. Before leaving Marlin I had a job with Mossberg. I started out as the wood room manager in their home office in North Haven improving the process and adding new tooling and new process fixtures. When I started at Mossberg they were making bolt action rifles but did not make their own bolt action gun stocks, they were buying them from multiple vendors and experiencing constant issues with the fit of actions and finish. A year and a half into Mossberg employment I was promoted to the Engineering Project Manager in charge of updating the current wood room in Texas which was already finishing the shot gun wood stocks being made in Connecticut and tasked to add a manufacturing facility to make Bolt Action Gun Stocks. In 3.5 years Mossberg was making 17 different models of Bolt Action Stocks after installing 3 CNC Machining centers and machines moved from the Connecticut plant. Many of you may know of the Patriot Bolt Action rifle, the walnut stock for that rifle is my pride and joy as I worked exclusively with the design engineering team on the action cuts and built all of the CNC programs to get it done. There are roughly 100 Stocks out there with my signature under the recoil pad.
May of 2015 my job with Mossberg ended and although I moved to Louisville Kentucky to work as a Facility Manager for a Navel armament company my love has always been my time making guns.
Now to next chapter. While checking my LinkedIn account this morning I saw I was contacted by a recruiter about an opportunity to work for a firearm company as a process project manager on upcoming new products.
My friends this is where I need your help. Who has heard of
CAA INDUSTRIES? I’ve done some preliminary research and find they are a reputable company and big on tactical add on’s to firearms currently on the market. Now here is the kicker. All the information I can find states the company is located in Israel.
That’s right I said Israel.
I have a second phone conversation scheduled with the recruiter on Monday at 10:30am until then I’m on pins and needles waiting to see if my next firearm career takes me to the other side of the world.
So, who can tell me what if anything about CAA INDUSTRIES???
