True. However for many of us it was the single shots and specifically the barrel accessory program that were the heart and soul of H&R. Without those they just import generic pump and semi-auto shotguns. What is left of H&R doesn't do anything that other companies don't already do better.
Hopefully H&R is just switching manufacturing locations but I doubt it. Generally companies ramp up production in the new location before shutting down the old one.
I fully understand about the single-shots, I have no interest whatever in the imported shotguns myself.
I'm just clarifying that the BRAND has not been shut down, just the US production.
Still parts, still service, etc.
The guns were no longer profitable & they're gone.
A change of location won't change that.

I have Mauser's that haven't been in production from 60 to 100+ years ago; matter of fact all my bolt guns are Mauser's,
they just don't break, funny I have Savage Model 99 from 1951, that still shoots great too !

There is no guarantee how long parts and service will be available. Brian (who does repairs / barrel fitting at the plant) said they were told H&R would provided service until the current parts supply runs out.
In your case there isn't enough money at stake to make it too risky. I do have a friend who likes older rifles and shotguns they have not been made for quite some time. Some of these have had issues and he has always been able to find someone who can fix it even if it involves making custom parts. From a purely financial perspective it probably doesn't make sense to do this but it can be done. From that point if view if you really like something you should have no problem finding someone who can fix it. I am no different than most and I have a few firearms that I wanted to customize and spent more than I paid for the firearm to get it the way I want. Life goes on and I'm happy. I wouldn't let it no longer being made stop you if you really want it.
I bought an 1888 German commission rifle for $65 and didn't seem to worry that Mauser pretty much went out of business in May of 1945 though they did start up again later. Not to worry.
