Are their ammo and guns that bad? How does a gun and ammo manufacture lose money in this gun market? Or is due to mismanagement?

In the greatest gun and ammo market in the history of guns and ammo a company would have to be inept to go into bankruptcy.

My question exactly. If you can't make it in this climate, indeed time to find another line of work.

WSJ article avoids discussion of product quality. It does, however, describe the long-running lawsuit following the Sandy Hook school shooting.

Methinks this is another prong of the Global Neo-Feudalist™ attack on the 2nd amendment by taking over then hollowing out firearm manufacturers from the boardroom...

“Are their ammo and guns that bad?”

Just the name “Remington” should be worth a fortune. This was a respected American company and brand since forever. I hope the brand can survive under someones stewardship.

Buy Federal. American Eagle. CCI. Blazer. Buy American and save the American gun industry. Buy 3x more than you need. Then double it.

What kind of inept management with the Remington name and the unsettling times can’t make a go of it? Pathetic, must be a closet progressive running this Co. into the ground.

Barnes Bullets are excellent but expensive.

Someone really screwed the pooch. They have an R51 with Crimson Trace sights that I lust in my heart for:

DPMS was bought out by Remington and shut down.

I smell George Soros.

“Or is due to mismanagement? “

vulture “capitalists” (similar to Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital) bought the company, loaded it with massive loans that they used to extract massive cash out of the company, and then declared bankruptcy of the hollowed out corpse ..

I think it was the Rem 700 safety thing that bankrupted them.

Well, Barnes makes good projectiles, although I prefer Sierra Match Kings for long range.

Never much liked Remington ammo. although there is worse.

Here’s a little .22LR rimfire ammo trivia: CCI, Federal and American Eagle all come off the same production line.

Remington 870, 1100, Model 700 bolt action.
The only products they make worth owning and they are pretty much the same as they were 50 years ago.
Benelli took the shotgun market and there are lots of better solutions than the 700.
They did it to themselves.

That’s like dying of thirst during a monsoon.

How in the hell is a gun and ammo manufacturer such as Remington going bankrupt in this market? There has to be a Romney type Bain Capital somewhere in the mix.
