I would have thought that with the uptick in firearm and ammo purchases following the first Covid-19 lockdowns that Remington would have gotten itself out of the red. Then again, the uptick was mostly for handguns, not long arms.

People are buying more guns, but the lack of ammo is becoming a problem.

Did Remington pull some social justice nonsense? Is that the real reason?

START MAKING AMMO.There isn’t any ammo to be had. Why buy guns if you can’t buy ammo?

As a gun maker in these times, you really do have to make an effort if you want to fail. Shelves are getting cleaned out everywhere and sales to first-time buyers are through the roof. If you go under in that environment, you’ve been doomed for a long, long time and it has zero to do with the market.

Some threads from the last time Remington went bankrupt - waaaaay back in... 2018. Nothing has changed since then.

People are looking for semiauto in rifles and sidearms, which might be useful in home or personal defense. Remington makes decent bolt action rifles and hunting arms. Other companies already have the name and the supply line for what people are seeking.

Wut? If they made 9x19 they would make a fortuna. It’s friggin hard to find.

I feel endorphinny because I just fired 100+ of said rounds into a target.

Come to think of it, I’m now a bitter clinger, which is much more exclusive than the basket of deplorable.

There needs to be an award.

Remington makes firearms and ammunition. How could they not be running three shifts?
