Remington Firearms
Hang on to those remington firearms! Rumor has it that Remington Arms will soon be filing for Chapter 11 protection? Sure to affect the value of Remington fiearms - question is UP or DOWN?

This is pretty old news isn't it, unless they did not have a date set?
I thought it was in the news a month or more ago!

Probably not change anything as they will continue to manufacture firearms, just be a different owner/owners.

My understanding was that a few months ago they were in Financial crisis BUT always told the street they were on the road to recovery? They never talked Bankrupcy.
Chapter 11 - there is NO recovery!
On the other hand its not a Company I follow, so maybe you're right. I certainly wouldn't invest in ANY firearms company, but I do own a few of their guns.

Yeah, not sure what happened to Remington , sad to see another iconic firearms company go down the drain.
I do suspect however it may have something to do with the idea of making as much money for the least after sales service a company can give , and add to that our lawsuit Happy neighbours to the south not helping things !

IMO-Firearms built under the original Remington company up until, I don't, know the exact year, will increase in price. ie, a model 700 from 1974.

IMO there are still good quality Rem 700's being made.
CDL's come to mind.
There are some Rem 700's that I would not consider.
