Not sure what exactly is left and whether the new owners, Roundhill Group, will continue to put out the same junk that Remington has put out for the last 10 or 15 years. Vista bought the ammo plant in Arkansas so that has nothing to do with Remington Guns. Ruger bought Marlin, that was owned by Remington, so that has nothing to do with the current Remington. Roundhill bought the equipment and building in Ilion NY but if what was announced when the judge split up Remington into 7 parcels is right, someone else bought out the names and trademarks, so I am not sure how Remington will continue to build Remington guns without the trademarks and names. It is going to be a real cluster from what I can tell.

is called RemArms. Will continue 220 union workers in New York. All future expansion will be in Georgia as well as the headquarters.

that really doesn't make sense as Remington

doesn't have anything to make or sell. All the guns, parts, unfinished guns etc were auctioned off to Roundhill Group. Someone else bought the plant in Ilion, while someone else bought the trademarks, names etc. So what does Remington have to keep 220 people busy? Plus even if they try to build guns from existing parts, the guns they made for the last 5 or 6 years were junk. In the press release the Remington CEO said they were moving everything including headquarters down to Georgia. This sounds like the union is forcing them to keep a skeleton staff in NY although I can't see any benefit to that other than to keep the union happy.

here is the full story
