Freedom Group already owns Remington, Bushmaster, DPMS, Marlin, etc. I guess they wiill be consolidating the 1911 lines of Remi and Para.

well - there goes quality.

Too bad...I have to say, seeing some of the new Marlin's that have come out post-New Haven, CT manufacturing, really are lacking in QA. Canted sight rails, barrels over-torqued and not lined up straight...it's a bit of a disappointment in what they did to a once great gun manufacturer. I love my Marlin 795, but it doesn't compare to the quality of an older Glenfield M60.

Wanted to look into a Para GI Expert 1911 this year. Maybe I have to start looking for something else.

Just as long as they don't try and make a grab for S&W. Only then will I begin advocating their violent overthrow.

Buy it quick before the new ones come out

Crap. I was thinking the same thing

Hmm .. Para's never had a stelar reputation guys. Yes they could make good guns, but also they've made crap ones too.

I agree
