Should have opened with his closing statements about frivolous gungrabbing lawsuits killing a 200 year old company. It would have been worthy of sharing broadly. As it is, very few will watch to the end. Thanks for sharing.

The lawsuit was just the straw that broke the camels back. The whole group management group that included remington was mismanaged for years. A case of wall street takeovers and milking it for everything it can without focusing on core product and customer. I agree straw that broke the camel's back they seemed hung up on the 700 line which was good but not enough the 870 line , they they started competing with themselves H&R partner pump the metric 870 express they kept trying to break into the handgun market but didn't really seem to listen to the market
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Our Governor Andrew Cuomo and the Liberal Democratic NYS Senate & Assembly playing a major role in killing Remington with the NYS SAFE ACT.
Outlawing AR-15's and their variants in New York State was a big hit to the company.
A couple thousand Remington Machinists lost their jobs over the last 10 years, and another 700 will be lost now.
The Towns of Illion, Mohawk, Frankfort, Herkimer, and Little Falls in Herkimer County will be ghost towns thanks to Andrew Cuomo.
Sad.

Remington Firearms - The Roundhill Group, LLC - primary bidder; Huntsman Holdings, LLC, backup bidder
Sounds like Roundhill Group is a real estate investment group. The internet speculation is that the properties and separated assets have value and that Remington in NY will be liquidated further under Roundhills ownership. On the surface it seems unlikely that they are interested in firearm production.

They had already started that process with the move to Arkansas and Alabama. Many of the core group of Remington Machinists with 20 to 30 years or more of experience in quality firearms manufacturing balked at moving south in order to retain their positions. Thats one reason that the quality and workmanship in Remington products took such a hit when they gave those jobs to southern rebels !!! walleyed

Hopefully Marlin's new ownership will bring back quality in their levergun lineup.
On another note, Ithaca Gun Company isn't making guns now either. Can't get any information out of the women that answers their phone occasionally. Was interested in possibly ordering a new pump shotgun, but I'm not about to put any money down on a new Model 37 unless I know they're filling orders. I've noticed Ithaca reports everything out of stock. I had hoped that was just the panic buying. I hope they're not going under again.
