Remington Arms will furlough hundreds of workers during a two months partial shutdown this summer, according to reports. The impact on the firearm manufacturer’s Alabama plant remains unclear.

Employees in Remington Arms in Ilion, New York were told today most will be off the job without pay starting Monday, June 3 and lasting through Aug. 12, WIBX reported. The furlough is in addition to a mandatory two-week paid vacation from July 1-12.

Another furlough may be instituted in November if the market doesn’t pick up, employees were reportedly told.

Remington employs about 500 people in Ilion and more than half of the workers there will be off the job. Some production lines will remain open during the closure but employees weren’t told which ones.

AL.com newspartner WHNT said the impact on the Huntsville operation is being determined. The company’s original agreement with Alabama called a workforce of 415 employees but it’s unclear if that goal has been met. Remington recently refunded about $1 million in incentives to Limestone, Madison and Morgan counties and the state has disallowed some $3 million in cash incentive payments to the gunmaker.
