    This would be the only thing I would have been interested in, Remington needs to separate from the Freedom Group or go out of business and take the Freedom Group with them
    I perfer black coffee in the morning, bourbon in evenings and spending money on sh*t I probably don't need.

    Haley played with an early Bushmaster version which has gone through some revisions since. The RemDef model is more refined and much lighter than the Bushy model.

Not to mention they moved here to AL and got millions in tax and other aid..which I was/am for...but then pay shit for wages. **** em.
    There are a LOT of reasons to tell Remington and FG to take a flying phuck at a rolling donut, but I'm not sure about wages. What are they paying their factory workers? Is it below fair market price for a certain job grade??

    I could dig it after retirement, if I decide to work. Hows the employee discounts?

    I can't find the link but I believe the interview he stated it was the Remington model was from circa 2011, I think the interview was called "missing in action", it's been a while since I read it but I distinctly remember reading Haley after being asked if it were the Bushmaster or Rem model he said it was the remington model. Basically I lost any and all interest in any ACR after that.

    Yes I read that when he was asked between the Scar and the ACR. However the new model of the RemDef ACR is the ACR-IC and it was released after the interview, while the previous versions were essentially a bushy with a select fire package installed. Hopefully if RemDef does produce the ACR for the commercial market it is the IC variant. NickB with SilencerCo owns one of the few RemDef ACR's out there and from what I understand he has been impressed with it.

    Of course that not matter anyways as i'm like most being very hesitant on anything coming from Remington...

    Yes..for THIS area it is. They wanted experienced machinists and other skilled labor for wages I made 15-20 years ago. Of course, no one was forced to work for them, but after the SWEET deal Alabama and three local counties gave them...**** THEM. AND their POS guns & ammo.
