Unreal....

it's all about money/profit... they could have at least faked a move to get some legislative attention...

[Underdog 1,593]

Write them an Email and let them know you will be getting a Mossberg.

[BCeagle 12]

I should have sued them when I had the chance last month, maybe I should call that lawyer back.

[gunguy1960 2]

They think this is a wise move money wise but gun people know the writing on the wall, if they were smart they would move to be among friends, for their long term fiscal health.

[ChrisJM981 924]

I'm going to hypothesize that Remington believes the SAFE Act will be overturned by the courts. If they don't, and Remington stays, I agree; I will be buying either a Winchester or a Mossberg.

[fumanchu182 23]

Lets get real, Remington doesn't give a shit about you, they just got an 80 million dollar contract to make sniper rifles and ammo.

Well I sent Remington and Freedom Group an email informing them that as a owner of multiple of their firearms and as a purchaser of their ammo for years, they have lost me as a customer. I respect their right to make business decision, and exercise my own on who to do business with.

[Duppie 73]

Time to nail their facebook page and start a shitstorm like the one that hit Cheaper than Dirt.

They couldn't give a shit, government contracts come in, civilians get shafted.

Ask S&W about that.

Understood,but it's better to get it out there any way possible that to sit on our collective hands and sulk about Government contracts......wouldn't you agree?

Contract or not.businesses are acutely aware of social media and it's ability to sway public opinion.....This may or may not effect Remington but I'm open to suggestions.

[dtown223 12]

I'm going to try and get some numbers, but I'd have to imagine civilian sales are a huge portion of remmys overall every year. (Vs govt contracts)

Maybe they believe the SAFE act will be overturned?

Maybe they got a sweet incentive from the state to stay put?

If shooters stood together, we could make a HUGE impact!

But......we won't

Problem is, people have short memories, or just don't give a $hit.

Dicks turned its back on the "shooting sports community" and look how many of us still shop there.

Tons of folks signed up on the "boycott CTD" facebook page, how many do you think wouldn't buy .223/5.56 if it came available cheap?

[matty 810]

$80 million is probably over 4-5 years, their private sector sales are likely far greater than $20M a year. This sounds like it was probably in the works awhile and Remington extracted some sort of tax break out of the state.

I will be buying Mossberg and telling every prospective gun-buyer I know that Mossberg > Remington.

[Geek 4]

I just sent them a message asking if the story is true. If they say yes, I'll boycott them. If they say no, it will give them a chance to reply with what is really going on.

[Bob2222 317]

How many firearms with more than 7 round magazines does Remington even sell? (Their 1911 comes with either 7 or 8 -- but it's so far removed form a "correct" WW1 Remington 1911 that it's not on my wish list.)

 

Cuomo probably thought out he could pass the bill, make a name for himself nationally and do it this without losing too many NY jobs. The silver lining to this is that it's scuttled Cuomo's presidential ambitions, if he knows it or not.

 

(Unlike O'Malley in Maryland, who appears to be even dumber than Cuomo -- it's a piece of cake for Ugo Gussalli Beretta to move the build for the ARX-100 across the river when he already has ongoing operations on the other side. And doesn't have any shareholders to worry about.)

LOTS. Remember that Remington doesn't really exist anymore as anything but a brand, it is Freedom group. How many ARs has Freedom Group sold owning Remington (which sells ARs), Bushmaster, DPMS, and Para USA.

[gunguy1960 2]

No matter what its still important to let your voice be heard, even if remington will be arming the domestic drones and Dicks sporting goods will be supplying the ammo.

[Damjan 73]

Their handlers from Freedom Group are behind everyting , every press release , every strategy............

 

There s 2 ways that can show Remington and they lose more than 80 million

 

1. Sell your Remington guns.

Flood the market with used stuff so no one has an incentive to get a new gun when they can get a used one cheap.

This was done to colt and ruger in the early 90s.

 

2. Don't even buy a squeegee (2.99$) let alone a gun of any kind.

[RUTGERS95 890]

I will never buy Remington...........Never

[71ragtopgoat 23]

I sent them an email. Lets see how they spin it.

[Handyman 5,682]

Remington is dead to me.

[PhilipJFry 4]

i think all this is being construed as something it's not- namely a huge conspiracy to supply govt with firearms and deny citizens their rights. first of all, the article says the $$ was approved to overhaul the plant (open since 1816 or thereabouts) BEFORE the SAFE act was passed. i think it's prob about the 1300 jobs, and the senator or congressman who gets the pentagon to go with Remington for the contract, so he can tout his record to the voters of that district. "i saved 1300 jobs in this district" goes a long way politically. it's not like Remington is moving there now to give every gun owner the middle finger. cost analysis was definately done and the $20 million to overhaul the plant was probably WAY less than the cost of moving an entire company to another state. i think you guys are blowing this out of proportion because of you own interests. and selling your remingtons in NJ will in no way affect global sales of a historically reputable brand of firearms.
