Para is dead! Killed off

For those that (like me) didn't get the news release -

Thanks for the link.

The only dis-service about it is a company that cannot compete in the quality arena. Your $hitty barrel rifling is not the only negative thing I have heard about after talking to several people who bought them. $299 may have been TOO good to be true - well maybe TRUE, but not so good. Anyone remember the Yugo and the various methods dealers used to 'dump' them?

I wasn't aware FG has owned Para for a few years now. I am still a firm believer that competition drives innovation and that consumers are the ultimate winner when that happens. Unfortunately in this case, they were already under the Remington umbrella and we will soon be seeing the Remington Warthog R1-14 or some variation of it soon.

Effing Freedom Group bought up another successful company? MF'ers. Why can't they leave success alone instead of buying and killing it?

What a choke hold they could have on us shooters
