Bill/OregonWell that was refreshing.
I hope there is a special place in hell for corporate raiders ...

Norman ConquestThat was good to hear. The only issue I have with my 870, is that it is so well-made as to last indefinitely, I may never have to buy another.

Don’t let that stop you. One can never have too many Remington 870s…or Mausers.

BobsterThat's all well and good, but a real issue is that the new Remington cannot or will not supply repair parts. There are millions of older Remington rifles and shotguns that could be easily repaired and put back into service. But, perhaps that is the idea.

I think Dave Kiff "PT&G" bought most or all of the receivers and barreled actions among other things.

Bill/OregonHope it is real. They did know how to make good longarms once upon a time.

ClaymanHaving seen and handled some of the new manufacture Remington guns, I have to say they seem to be righting the ship. The fit and finish of all of them has been impressive, and even the modestly priced "Fieldmaster" 870 is nicer than the old Express model. A new 700 BDL was as tight and shiny as I've ever seen, and they did away with the white line spacers which were never really my thing.
As for corporate raiders - having seen firsthand what a venture capital firm can do to a small company with a dedicated workforce, I'll never deal with them again. The line is often, "we just want to come in and help you keep doing things the way you've been doing them...". Yeah, right. Greedy #$%@!'s.

df06Lots of companies have been destroyed by “suits” that come in and take over. Those companies set themselves up to be taken over, for a variety of poor management reasons.
I’ve handled some of the new Rem Arms 870s and 700s, both seemed to be very good quality. I hope they are highly successful.
