Remington Files for Bankruptcy
« on: July 28, 2020, 10:42:23 AM »
Remington has filed for bankruptcy for the second time since 2018.  They were in talks with the Navajo Nation over an asset purchase, but those talks broke down leading to the Chapter 11 filing.  It's a shame, but maybe it's just time for them to go.

If only they could have done this before ruining Marlin...
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Marlin among several other companies.  How many different companies did they buy and then close down?  Para Ordnance, DPMS, Bushmaster are three I can think of.  I think they tried to make a Para Ordanance pistol with a Remington brand name, but I don't know how well that went. 

I still cannot figure out how they could come out with pistols like the R51 and not get the production models functional.

No real loss.

Huh.  Never knew Storm Lake was bought by Rem.  Well, I hope they survive as an independent brand.  They make good barrels.

I hate to say it for one of our own,  but nothing of value was lost.  "Remington"  in it's current for is a lich feeding of the body and reputation of a once great company/companies.  They stopped being a gun company that made quality rifles long ago.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Not a done deal yet but

Quote
   Firearms maker Remington Outdoor Co. has agreed to sell its ammunition business out of bankruptcy to South Carolina-based investment firm JJE Capital Holdings LLC for $65 million plus the assumption of liabilities, subject to better offers.

    The JJE offer came in the form of a stalking-horse bid, setting a floor on the sale price for Remington’s ammunition business, which the company has been marketing while in chapter 11. Remington filed for bankruptcy protection in July and has been open to selling its ammunition and firearms operations to pay off its debt.

    The proposed deal outlined in papers filed Tuesday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Decatur, Ala., covers the design and manufacturing of ammunition sold under the Remington and Barnes Bullets brands and includes production facilities in Arkansas and Utah.

From Investopedia:

A stalking-horse bid is an initial bid on the assets of a bankrupt company. The bankrupt company will choose an entity from a pool of bidders who will make the first bid on the firm's remaining assets. The stalking horse sets the low-end bidding bar so that other bidders can not underbid the purchase price. The term "stalking horse" originates from a hunter trying to conceal himself behind either a real or fake horse.

Only 65 mil? On the surface that sounds like the screaming bargain of the century but I'm sure there's a bunch of debt assumption built into the sale, too.

Also if the dems win big in Nov the gun industry in this country will be basically dead after Jan and their stalking-horse bid would be for a dead horse.  So it's a gamble.

Oh? Cool!  At least it's an actual firearms-related company rather than some generic asset acquisition/liquidation conglomerate.

Oh, on further reading, it's just an initial bid. Someone might bid higher etc. but still exciting to see PSA taking a leap at the brass ring like that.

PSA is a company that has actually increased their quality control while keeping costs low.  I got an 11" 5.56 upper at the beginning of the year.  I was impressed with the fit and finish. 

My question will be if PSA would absorb it or simply run Remington better.  Get rid of the guy they got from Taurus at least.
