Remington to file for bankruptcy

[rlongnt]

Remington knows how to build extremely high quality firearms but don't. Why? Profit, IDK..? American's don't like to be pissed on and told it's raining. The winds are changing... Hell even HK doesn't hate the consumer class anymore..

Watering down quality means more sales in big box stores of lower quality items to mediocre shooters - witness the rise of stripped-down, lighter-weight safe brands and models at such stores in the last 10 years.

Profit above all, even at the expense of your name and reputation.

You are absolutely 100% spot on and that is why Benelli got my last two shotgun purchases. I really want to buy something I like made and "owned" here in the U.S.A. but for now I guess I'll have to settle for U.S.A. "made" Sig, Glock and FNs... I'd love to buy a new Belgium or U.S. made Browning Citori but they won't let me.. Crap, even Ruger quit making the Red Label "again".... Sad!

Don't get me started on my 2017 Fender Stratocaster that doesn't even say Made In USA anymore because the only damn things on it made here are the pickups, neck and body.. They now just say Fender USA.... Ugh!

Is the ammo line tied with the gun manufacturing? Don't know, but yes, it's good ammo.
On the other hand, their .22 sucks.

I hear this a lot but I haven’t had issues with it. But I have alot more to go through so who knows.

In 2015 the Freedom Group was renamed as Remington Outdoor Company. So same thing..
And it is Remington Outdoor Company, not Remington Firearms that is looking to file. So it could potentially impact all of the brands they own.

Brands:
Remington
Bushmaster
Advanced Armament
Marlin Firearms
H & R Firearms
Dakota Arms
Para USA
Parker Gun
Tapco
Barnes Bullets
Mountain Khakis

When did they buy out Tapco? I remember when they were a surplus store before their venture of making plastic furniture for SKS's and AK's. And their junk line of mags.
