Description
The Windham Weaponry company was founded by Richard E. Dyke in 2011 at the location of Bushmaster, which he owned from 1976 to 2006 and which he agreed to sell to an investment fund to retire . This fund having decided to move Bushmaster from Maine to New York in 2011, leaving the employees out of work, Richard E. Dyke, despite his age, decided to found a new company so that his former team could resume service. Windham Weaponry is the legacy of the sum of their experiences.
