Big Green went South when they became Big Green.
Bought out in the dry years and run by a bunch of suits in a boardroom.
All their “Remington accessories” made in China. Key chains, lanterns, tents, blankets. Spend an extra couple bucks to get something “Remington”. Ironically, to show your loyalty to a company that sold an iconic label for profits.

I reckon we’re a particular crew that likes to shoot things made by American craftsmen.
harumph.
