It's pretty obvious that something was amiss

There is a rumor about Barrett being purchased floating around too.

So thats why they were able to raffle off Remington ACR's at the Silencer Shoot.

If this merger/takeover benefits in the sense that it will give more funding for R&D, faster turn around times, and better products...Then I'm all about it. I hope Mike gives a skinny about this whole thing. If this delays cans, I'm going to be pissed.

I believe this was rumored before the recent silenced shoot. Not sure how it was stated though I believe it was said this was not going to happen. I'm not really happy with this. It's not so much remington as much as it is the company that bought remington and they are buying up lots of companies. This is bad news since manufactoring will likely get outsourced and product likely wont be what it once was. Reminds me of a few years ago when some company bought up most of the lawnmower manufactors, now you have crap brand name lawnmowers out there selling at walmart.

I think it will be good for the consumer.

I'd love to see Michael Waddell and Brett Favre do a commercial shooting suppressed ACRs!

Disclaimer- I now work with AAC.

But the above is not true- we are actually moving to a new building (4 times larger) and staffing up and adding lots of machines to actually bring almost all of the processes in-house. Kevin has stated- faster, better, cheaper. Lots more R&D too.

I hope so, this would almost be like breaking the law of gravity but it would make me a permanant customer for sure.

I REALLY hope so, grass roots marketing like word of mouth or events like this are starting to be a driving force behind alot of purchases, at least for me.
