Remington Rejects Buyout Offer

Looks like the Navajo Indian Nation tried to buy it with the intent of focusing more on military/police contracts as opposed to civilian small arms. Cerberus rejected the offer though.

"The Native American tribe also projected that it would stop selling modern sporting rifles—despite the fact that AR-15-platform rifles are among the most popular type of firearm in America—and it planned to earmark a portion of its profits for developing “smart gun” technology."

Uber Fail.

"Of course, the Times expressed dismay that Remington rejected the bid. Staff writer Andrew Ross Sorkin had written an opinion piece in May that espoused his vision that a kindler, gentler company should buy Remington and transform it into something less than a real gun maker."

Does anyone else remember the last time we gave guns to the indians?

Leftys really are naive, or just dumb. Don't they realize that if a company doesn't offer products that consumers want and does offer products consumers don't want the company will fail harder than a hillary clinton presidential candidate?

It's an awesome plan. Like with S&W. Sell it to a British company, alienate your whole market, let new guys come in after you go bankrupt and then totally revamp things.

But under socialism, gubbetmint will tell you to buy inferior products you don't want.

And will subsidize your failed company producing non existing , impossible technology.....for a small campaign donation that is.

Under "socialism" I shove my rifle up someone's ass.

Im just sitting here thinking....
In 35+ years, ive never owned a Remington firearm.
Ive owned/own all the other major brands, but never Remington.
Theres no specific reason, I dont have a reason to dislike them, it just never came to be.
Most of my long guns have been Henry, Mossberg, Marlin, pre 1900 Winchesters and Rugers.

I have never owned a Remington either. No reason just never have.

I would expect nothing less. No wonder some people are afraid of bayonet lugs and barrel shrouds.

They broke my heart when Remington bought Marlin and butchered the lever action product line.

 

[Tinman]

Marlin was a great rifle until Remington got a hold of it.

I guess Cerberus wanted more wampum.

Back on the old forum one of the members allowed me to get a brand new stainless 1911 for $200 through the friends and family promotion. Remington screwed me out of the $100 rebate I should have gotten but I guess I can't complain lol. The gun has held up well.

The only real Remington I have owned was an older model 870. It was the "Wingmaster", with the high gloss finished walnut stock. I think I bought it back in the late 1970's. I gave that 1 to our younger Son. I did buy a new Marlin model 60, that was manufactured by Remington. The only reason I bought that particular rifle was to be a mate to my older model 60 that I bought in the late 70's. Also, it was made here in the town we live in, and has the that rollmark on it.

For liberals this is win/win. The indian nation will get a ton of govt contracts because they are a minority owned business. Hell, they probably won't even have to be price competitive. And their focus on govt contracts at the expense of civilian sales means the knuckle dragging rednecks will have fewer weapons available to shoot up schools. No wonder the times was dismayed the company rejected the offer.

That is VERY cheap, for I assume the RI stainless. Current pricing for F&F is $515 and E/VIP is $474

I hunt with a model 750 with black synth stock in 30-06. I have no complaints, it's a nice comfortable shooter. I also have an 11-48 (12 ga.) cut down to 18". And a model 12 pump .22 from way back.
