When these so called “financial outfits” get into these companies and or buy them out right, forget it, it is done – all they care about is how much GREEN they can make and rob and steal and start producing garbage typical of all of the super high quality products sold in TrashMart all over the U.S. So, so sad and just plum wrong people.
Remington did you ask for Cuomo’s blessing for this Army contract ?
Obviously whoever made this decision hasn’t seen what leaves the factory from Marlin. My recent aquirement of an 1895 gbl is a perfect example of what leaves the factory. The front sight is not even centered on the barrel. Why does the freedom group allow that to even leave the factory.
I have two Remington Model 700 Rifles , a .308 that I have built up, a 300 R.U.M. Long Range and a model 750 30-06 Semi Auto also a Semi Auto 12 guage Shotgun .
All of them are great Firearms and I have enjoyed them a lot.
Congratulations Remington for getting the Army contract.
I guess this rules out the Navajo nation from buying Remington.

We first thought it would be parted out and sold off to the highest bidder. But Mr evil works in mysterious ways. And why a new caliber is not fourth comming for our troops. That will be for all our enemies of course like Blue… Read more »
Note in the announcement above in the very large print:
This is the second significant award for 5.56mm carbines to Remington by the US Army ON BEHALF OF KEY INTERNATIONAL ALLIES.
I believe that this means the US Army is facilitating the purchase of rifles to be then sold (or supplied) to our
foreign allies – Not to be used by the US Army.
I believe Colt owns the technical data package in perpetuity.
They will get a royalty from whoever makes guns using the TDP.
Which is required for military guns
I believe that Colt still gets some royalty payment even when other companies sell AR type carbines to the government.
Can someone confirm this?
My comment concerned not the sourcing of the contract but the content. The Army just gave congress a study that recommended all armed forces go with a common 6.2mm ammo. Yet they are ordering 5.56mm weapons?
