Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Just read a release by The Roundhill Group that took controll of the Remington name. According to the article they want to restore the name to making traditional firearms. I guess we shall see. I would certainly hate to see the name die in disgrace.

Oooooo.....maybe we'll see a new run of the 1858 New Model Army! And the 1875! Maybe also the Navy Rolling Block, Hepburn #3, and 1899 Lee!

Alpo Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 "To making traditional firearms"? What have they been making? What are traditional firearms? I would assume that would be pump and automatic shotguns, and pump, automatic and bolt rifles. Hunting guns. Blue steel and Walnut. Isn't that what Remington makes? I know that if, like Ruger and Smith & Wesson, they have started making AR-15s, I was unaware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 They need to fire the QC dept and start over. During hiring anyone that mentions “ISO-9000” should quickly be shown the door with a boot in the arse follow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 I suppose we shall see what TRADITIONAL means, But Remington was a big player in the hunting field when hunting was more popular and hubting areas were larger. I have to say, that if I were a farmer today, I am not certain I would allow hunters on my property, unless I knew them very well, and knew of their firearm savvy. Too many wannabes out there.

Models were marketed for field carry hunting or seated varmint hunting. Marketed as Modern Sport Rifles so their traditional arms are probably everything else. I expect the R2Mi will also be dropped, the bolt action 50bmg repeater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Wasn't Parker at one time a Remington name? Perhaps some auto and O/U hunting shotguns. Be interesting to see what shakes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.D. Daily Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Vista was the highest bidder for the Remington name & ammo plants. The bidder that doesn't have any documented history with firearms is the highest bidder for the the firearms factories. They apparently will license the Remington name from Vista similar to FN licensing the Winchester name from Olin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 My first thought about "traditional" are guns that are well made and don't break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
