Remington moving to Georgia

[Caveman Jim]

It is about time, they and many others should move out of N.Y. state and pay taxes, create jobs, etc in states that support gun rights, for lawful citizens, along with the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
I wish them well in the move too LaGrange, Georgia.

I agree and applaud them for leaving the snake den but Georgia has turned purple in the last 10 years.
TPTB couldn’t turn Florida so they set their sights on its northern neighbor.
I do wish them well though.

Remington need to re-invent itself and stop peddling the same old crap of yester year. New tech, new machines hopefully will equal better rifles.

They need to make hunting rifles that are usable out of the box. Shotguns that are reliable. And ammo that shoots well in all of it.

And sell actions that are timed and have tolerances that dont make you wanna throw at your wall.

Too funny. I bought a Rem model 700 in 30-06 plastic stock back in 2000 I believe for $358 with a 3x9x50 cheep scope. The action was as loose as a hooker working Cherry Hill at Ft. Bragg… I sold it three years later to a guy that said he was gonna upgrade it, I wished him well.

This Remington company has nothing to do with making ammunition.

As for the Roundhill Group, they are working with actual experienced firearms professionals to assist with the rebuilding of Remington. I wish them well.


“Roundhill Group LLC and a group of experienced firearms manufacturing and hunting industry professionals are in the process of purchasing Remington Firearms. Our intent with this acquisition is to return the company to its traditional place as an iconic American hunting brand.…”

And wouldn’t it be nice to be able to order one with the stock and trigger of your choice and pay for it right then. And have it drop shipped to your transfer dealer 3-6 weeks later.

I believe there would be a good many people that would go for that.

Isn't Remington Arms just moving their headquarters? With production staying in Ilion?

Isn’t Glock in GA? Yep it is. Shouldn’t that tell u something? GA is red. It’s just the cesspool/ inhabitants in ATL.

Glock is in Smyrna - an ATL suburb and democratic district (unfortunately). Rural GA is red like many other states and the city makes the state purple at best. I do not have hope we'll have a Republican governor next term

Me either…can only hope ole Abrams doesn’t run again.

I think Savage overtook them a few years back.
Why is Smith and Wesson manufacturing still in Massachusetts? I know they moved their headquarters.

Heck Remington just make a deal with Grayboe and drop a heavy barreled action in a Renegade stock with a Timney trigger, you will sell them as soon as it hits the shelves!

From the second post page1:

Gov. Kemp: Remington Firearms to Locate Global Headquarters, Open New Advanced Manufacturing Facility, World-class Research and Development Center in LaGrange​

NOVEMBER 08, 2021

The company will be hiring for positions in production, operations, engineering, and management, as well as careers in HR, finance, and administration in Remington’s onsite executive offices. For more information, please visit www.remarms.com.

Ah, build up production capacity => opens option on what to do with Ilion.

 

[BlueWater]

Since the new owners have made the decision to move to Georgia , I think it bears well, that they're willing to take this first step in reviving this company .

Can't be inexpensive, a wholesale move of HQ and the staff.

Promising. We'll see if it pans out with renewal of their quality consciousness, renewal of their focus, re-dedication to their founding principles. Right now, they're waffling. It'd be nice if they regain most of what they once had, before it's all gone.

I hope they do better than most of the shops that left Ct. in the 60's & 70's. Most could not find skilled labor- tool makers, tool setters, or even operators, some ended up shutting down and some came back north.
Lower taxes and labor cost did not equate to a more profitable business.

Inertia, at having to move all that equipment, plant and personnel. I think the move out of Mass in part is so they can still make semi-auto firearms, a thing a persistent bill continually introduced in the Mass legislature would prohibit. If Mass doesn't care why should S&W?
