Remington Firearms

[Jasonanddeonna]

Given Remington's bankruptcy, it is my understanding other manufacturers may obtain the rights to build other Remington firearms, but I am more curious about the 870 and if anyone knows who might be manufacturing this?

Because they have legacy firearms that will sell regardless of quality? And now they have a great opportunity to make these same legacy firearms of high quality again which will no doubt further increase sales?

It will be interesting, especially in regards to the M700. The footprint is being used by many custom, semi-custom, and even mass production rifles that are higher quality.

I can't think of an American company that is making a decent looking, field-centric, pump shotgun.

Except for the FFL delay and perennial union troubles, it looks like Remington's civilian production will inexplicably remain in NY. How did Lou Imperato do it with Henry? A good example to copy.

The question mark has been replaced by an exclamation point; new owners say that Remington Arms will remain in Ilion.

Interesting...maybe they will revive under the new ownership.

Well, it is very controversial, but in the NE particularly, one does not work without joining a union first. Sadly, some unions have replaced corporate greed with union greed. I see no progress there - the Japanese model works so much better: treat employees like family.

Lou Imperato did that at Henry. He would walk through the shop, handing out fruit or other snacks, and sit and listen to the workers. Both sides could understand the other. Revolutionary concept in our world.

Ithaca still makes the model 37, probably one of the finest pump shotgun designs ever produced.

Didn't know they were still making them. Mine is from 1947.

 

[Quirt Evans]

Yeah, Ithaca is alive and well,, now located in Ohio, they make a high quality 1911 also.
Another company, "Inland Manufacturing" has partnered with Ithaca to reproduce the WWII M37 trench gun.
It doesn't hold a high round count,, but if you can't stop em with 5 rounds, that's what the bayonet is for;

Some of these legacy designs may make appearances again, but they will say "Made in _________" on them. To varying degrees of quality. After Remington bought Marlin, they got H&R 1871 and New England Firearms in the deal. Marlin had already started importing shotguns marked NEF Excell that were made in Turkey. There is also an H&R Partner pump shotgun, I'm not sure but this one may have been marketed by Remington, it's marked Made in China.

If you see new 870's again, it would surprise me if they said Ilion, NY on them. Or even USA.

IF......someone wanted to buy a Remington 870.

Then perhaps......
One should learn from the experience of the Marlin (JM Marked) story.

Aloha, Mark

Their ammo is already owned by Federal, found that out in a recent Youtube video posted by Federal's CEO (Apparently they own the ammunition divisions of Remington, CCI, and one other that I can't remember off the top of my head). Some of the other, non-gun portions of Remington have been owned by other corporations for quite a long time. I'm sure someone will step up and keep the name out there, just as has been done with Winchester.
