As for big "R" going bye, bye, I doubt it. They will be like all the other ones who went down the same path, and will be bought up by a larger company, until someone owns all of them...
I'm a part time resident, of Navajo Country AZ. The virus seems to be escalating, at a rate of 300 to 500 a week. For a sparsely populated, rural county, that mostly Indian reservations. It's turning into a major tragedy.
Sad sign for a once-great company.
A sure sign that "there is something rotten in Denmark."
Thunderduds have been the worst on the market for quite a while now.
My nephew works for Remington in ilion ny. The sad part is the company is not telling the workers anything about what is going on. They say everything is fine, just come to work and do the government job contract that they got awarded.
I understand that CCI is pretty good.
But how can Remington do that? I was shooting a .22 all the time when I was a kid we never had a misfire.
What is wrong at Remington that they manufacture faulty ammo? Is nothing sacred?
I have one Remington M700 rifle that I trust to shoot well, and it was extensively work over by a gunsmith.
Hope someone comes along to buy them and improve their quality
Thst is sad
How long has he been in that position?
I'm sure that trigger recall didn't help their financial situation.
This is the part that caught my eye in the article almost sounds like Colts plan
"The plan included going the police-and-defense-contracts route, instead of selling to the public; pulling back from AR-15 semi-automatic weapons; and using the manufacturing as a way to reduce tribe unemployment."
Bingo... and then the public took it as anti gun against them.
The United States still asserts plenary power and thus requires the territory of the Navajo Nation to submit all proposed laws to the United States Secretary of the Interior for Secretarial Review, through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).
The US Supreme Court in United States v. Kagama (1889) affirmed that Congress has plenary power over all Indian tribes within United States borders, saying that "The power of the general government over these remnants of a race once powerful ... is necessary to their protection as well as to the safety of those among whom they dwell".[18] It noted that the tribes did not owe allegiance to the states within which their reservations were located.[19]
Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution vests Congress, and by extension the Executive and Judicial branches of our government, with the authority to engage in relations with the tribes, thereby firmly placing tribes within the constitutional fabric of our nation. When the governmental authority of tribes was first challenged in the 1830's, U. S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall articulated the fundamental principle that has guided the evolution of federal Indian law to the present: That tribes possess a nationhood status and retain inherent powers of self-government.

Last month I went to shoot one of my .44s, it had been loaded for just 2 years. First cylinder, misfire! I had 3 of 5 cylinders misfire. I was astonished.
I pulled the caps off and saw where the caps had deteriorated. I also noticed that they were Remington caps. I pulled the caps off and cleared the crud off the nipple, and put a CCI cap in place and the gun fired fine.
The guns I had kept loaded for 10 years, I was using CCI caps.
Along with crummy .22 ammo, Remington also makes crummy percussion caps. Bye-Bye, Remington you have utterly lost me as a customer. How could this once good company go so bad? Did they start manufacturing stuff in China, or what? How could they screw up .22 ammo and also percussion caps?
And they won't miss you for even a nanosecond! With the current number of new gun owners, especially in the AR15 area, Remington will be selling ammunition and components until they run out. They are happily turning the machines on every morning creating rifles, handguns, ammunition and components to fulfill the needs of the general public as well as the Federal Government for whom they have dozens of contracts. Some of the most accurate rifles I've built have been on Remington M700 actions.
If you want better ammunition, spend more money instead of buying the cheapest. I may not have the thousands of rounds of .22LR ammunition as some of you but the ammo I have is the best; Lapua, Eley and SK. Accurate and reliable by test in the firearms I shoot.
Best.
What makes you the Big Remington cheerleader? Do you own Remington stock.
Remington core lokts were my go to hunting round but recently I've had few squibs I don't trust them anymore.
No I have not I bought the 6.5 Grendel upper and that has replaced the 243 as my night hunting setup. I don't think I've shot that rifle since getting that bullet unstuck from the barrel
