Cheaper than dirt has it.

Hey, thanks! Now...where’d I put my billfold?
Yes, more people use Google than buy Remingtons. Google is ‘free’ *if* you buy the infrastructure elements and pay the facetime to see their ads and don’t mind their tracking your every search to your Internet address and setting cookies...
If less hindered politically, Remingtons and other firearms would be cheaper to manufacture and deliver to law-abiding citizens and would result in a reduction in crime.
My crucial bigger point was that we have so many restrictions in place on the firearms industry and fewer who support the Second Amendment—and we must be alert that control of the former does not go cheaply to those like $oro$ who also seek to end the latter.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
They don’t make a rifle that’s competitive with Remington unless it might be some blackpowder inlines.
Didn’t Smith just buy Thompson Center this year? How did a less than twelve month purchase threaten Remington? I think the author simply doesn’t know another gun manufacturer or they would have mentioned Thompson Center.
What impresses me about TC is that they sold for 90% of what Remington sold for. I guess turning a nice profit makes a difference!
I have an old Thompson/Center muzzleloader Renegade. Haven’t fired it in years, and it needs a serious cleaning and oiling, but that sucker is accurate enough to turn a buck into a doe in .50 caliber style. ;^)
Yep.
I never wanted one because I thought they were not a good rifle or a good pistol. Sorta a poor inbetween. That’s just my opinion. I think if the ammo was cheaper it could have been a great plinker and fun gun. I don’t think the ammo was ever cheap. Some third world country should have adopted it so we could have bought their surplus ammo.
Now, I can’t wait. It’s not the rifle but it’s the history behind it.
Inland or whatever is available.
I like!!

The key phrase is on paper. The YouTube guys were able to sell to Google for $1.65 billion, because it was a stock swap; to Google, it was found money, and to the YouTube guys, they could negotiate the price up enough that their whole families would be set for life if the share price deflates and they only end up getting a tenth.
The consensus was that the AOL/Time Warner merger was a disaster, and it was -- for TW shareholders. For AOL shareholders, their share price plummeted, but not before they used their pretend money to buy something of real, measurable and lasting value. Time, SI, and HBO have a hefty subscriber base. Warner Music has a strong current roster and a huge back catalog. Warner Bros. brought, among many other things, the reliably profitable Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter franchises.
TW got hosed. The clueless old-media types gave up a piece of something real for a piece of the shrinking dial-up online-sevice market -- AOL was never really an ISP -- and then the two companies combined clueless management, with predictable results.
With S&W buying Thompson and now Remington being bought out by a company that also wants to acquire other firearms manufacturers I have to remember the old saying about ‘all the eggs in one basket.’
What happens if all our gun makers are controlled by one big foreign bank that suddenly decides to build widgets instead? There may be nothing I can do it but I’m just paranoid enough to wonder what the downside of all this will be.
4 huge smokestacks spewing smoke!
I did not brighten or darken it
Looks good on my TV monitor
Smokestacks, ok I can see that now. It is already very dark, maybe you see it lighter than I do.
You’d think they would have had the courtesy to hit an iceberg during the daytime so we could see it better!
