Remington makes a move... actually, several.

We already knew about Remington's new Huntsville facility, which opened earlier this year. But recently there has been a whole lot of info, rumors, hearsay, etc. regarding consolidation within Big Green.

 

I found this pretty interesting-- looks like they're moving a whole bunch of stuff to Huntsville, not just 1911's and AR's... I consider this pretty good news-- even if Freedom Group is still calling the shots.

 

Of course, Remington has yet to make an "official statement."

I read earlier about the AAC and DPMS changes. Think was on The Truth About Guns page.
Maybe will get an official statement tomorrow.

As I understand it, Freedom Group still holds the reigns at Remington.

Hence, all of these FG brands being moved to Huntsville. Cerberus is the one that bailed-- divesting the assets of FG.

It is reported at the start of the article.

 

It is important to note that, as we reported last December, the Freedom Group is no more. It is now called the Remington Outdoor Company (henceforth referred to as Remington). - See more at: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/05/15/breaking-news-facts-remington-consolidation/#sthash.ICx9zSa8.dpuf
