I'm sad to see this.. I know them leaving the Ilion area was an economic slap to the area. I blame Cuomo for most of it, and his unSAFE Act.
Chapter 11 means they will shed all the companies they bought ( all had a boat load of debt) and come out stronger. Their creditors will get screwed but Remington will survive.

The Remington name will survive. Whether they'll be making quality firearm products is another story. I hope they do. My Model 700 is a great rifle.

SAD ! - Hopefully, - they will somehow rise from the ashes, return to full production and poke cuomo in the eye with a sharp stick.

I thought the 1100 was one fine shotgun along with the 870 wingmaster. The wood on the 1100's was sometimes amazing..

They haven't left the Ilion area.

This could happen to others if H.R.5087 becomes law.

If the Marlin plant was still in CT and equipped id agree but i do believe the plant is no more. I wanted to buy a stainless .357 lever laminated stock. at the time my ex was against it and i thought they where expensive ... kicking myself in the ass now.

AFAIK you are correct.
Packed up the tooling, etc. and moved to Kentucky. The employees who knew how to use them, not so much. Not a knock on Remmy craftsmen, just not the line/designs they knew. Marlin owner's forum had all kinds of threads on quality issues on the post-move centerfires. I can't comment as I refused to buy one (I am still looking for a JM in .35 Rem or .30.30). I will say my Remarlin-built XT-22 is hunting but not match accurate after a tiny bit of work on my part- but it's a rimfire.
Sorry for the hijack, ya'll.

I had a rem 700 5R which supposedly come from the custom shop, well made gun, if the the new lever have the same level of detail i maybe inclined to buy one.

Best way to decide is to find one and give it a good looking over. They aren't terrible.
