Remington went bankrupt last year and last month is was being broken apart. I think FN bought some of it etc. Sad to see.

My first gun was a Remington 870 almost 30 years ago. It's a shame what's happened to them really. I hope Richmond gets them back on their feet soon.

I did some digging into this last night. So Richmond is Roundhill Group LLC.
I bet we would all be surprised to find out how many different businesses Richmond is involved with.

I think it would be shortsighted to think paintball is all he is in to.

The article for those of us in the Old World who can't access that site:
Quote:
(WUTR-TV) — Richmond Italia is the new owner of the Remington Arms plant in Ilion.
“I’ve been a hunter my whole life,” said Italia. “I grew up with the name Remington, so it definitely hit a chord.”
Italia was alerted to the possibility of buying Remington 10 days before it was sold in bankruptcy court in Alabama. He said he wants the gun manufacturing to continue and be successful.
“Upper management for Remington — and I don’t want to use the word hunters — but they’re not going to be suit and ties,” said Italia. “They’re going to be guys that get their hands dirty, guys that are going to walk the floor and talk to the employees.”
According to Italia, the building is dated. He wants to renovate it and make it modern.
“You have this super modern facility with untrained staff [in Alabama] and then you go up to New York and you have the opposite, where you have incredible staff, in an antiquated facility,” said Italia. “So, I believe that probably was the single biggest mistake that the old management has done.”
Italia plans to bring back as many workers to manufacture guns as possible. About 600 plant employees are still on furlough, but it shouldn’t take much longer, according to Italia.
They still have to secure parts suppliers that also closed during the pandemic.
“We’re not talking, we’re not shutting down for six months,” said Italia. “We’re talking weeks to a maximum a couple of months. Maximum.”
The Marlin line of weapons, formerly made in the Ilion plant, was bought by Ruger. They will be moving out, but Italia said he should be able to bring back the same level of workforce.
“If we do close down Huntsville, and Sturgis, and Lenoir City, and concentrate them under one roofline, which will be Ilion, that will more than replace the employees that were lost on the Marlin line,” said Italia.

It makes me giggle that a guy who couldn't run 1 business, thinks he can turn around a run a different business.
In the 1800's he would have been the dildo going from town to town saying he had a machine that made it rain. 100% goof ball right here. lol.

Considering what the guy did to paint quality over a 20 year span I will go ahead and say I won't be buying Remington ammo in the future.

You haven't read into the sale yet, have you?
Barnes bought up the ammo division of Remington.

I haven't looked into the breakup too much of Remington. Kind of wondering where the Para-Ordnance property will land.
Edit - looks like it's with Mr. Italia. Roundhill Group LLC will get Panther Arms, Halcyon, and Para-Ordnance.

Remington already makes plenty of ****ty ammo on their own, and as already been stated. The ammo division was bought by someone else.

Takes almost nothing to get one currently. Takes less than 60 days to get it and most of that time is waiting on applications to get approved and an in person interview. Super easy process.

Rumors are the NLB is getting involved, the old president was behind the buying and the "face" left leaving the old ceo back in charge. Sounds like Kore all over again

Paintball News Rules |
- No Upping threads. If you have something to say, please do, but don't post in the thread just to take it to the top of the forum.
- Do not post "1st post", "1st", "First post" or anything similar (or with any other number) at any point in a thread, even if you post a comment too. It is really annoying and it will result in a ban.
- If you don't like something, say why instead of just calling it ugly, lame, gay or any other name. If it is old, simply post a link or report the post with a link to the older News thread.
- Please don't post links for places to buy items. That encourages stores, sponsored players and other people to do it and spam the site.
If you have questions, please post them in the Talk to Mods/Admins forum.
