I know there is a lot of die hard Remington guys out there, but with this recall, do you think Remington is going down? I talk to a employee at WSS today and he said that this could be the nail in the coffin for Remington and he doesn't think they will be able to pull out of this hole that they dug themselves. Seeing as over 5 million guns have been recalled, costing Remington a TON of money to fix and their sales will plummet. Yes I know you can just fix the trigger yourself by putting an aftermarket one in, so thats why I'm asking if you think Remington is on its way down.

Myself, I think they'll be fine. Sure its going to hurt some sales but I think they'll be just fine.

funny, an employee at the home of customer service commenting on pending business failure
it won't even be a blip on the radar for Remington, i would be surprised if even 10% of rifles go back
 
:popCorn:

Watching with interest.........

It will likely weaken them to a point where they are taken over by some one else, keeping the name but refinanced so-to-speak.

IMHO they are one of the most over rated rifles out there now and I don't get the attraction any more.

But, there was a time.....

:ban:

With the exception of one staff member at my local WSS, I agree completely.

As for Remington, they will be fine. Most people won't ever even find out about the recall, let alone send the rifle in. People who spend time on boards like this are about the only consumers whose opinion of Remington may change because of this. Stores will continue to sell them, and the average joe will continue to buy them.

Thats why I am asking you guys. Im not much of a Remington guy so this was a huge shock hearing what he said. Knowing they are such a huge company I didnt think it was possible
 
People ought to be just as concerned with the other manufacturers who havent announced recalls ... all of these products are produced by average guys working as quickly as their foremen can get them to work ... and making an occasional error as a result.
 
Yep they are screwed NOT

In the past two years, as gun sales have continued to surge, the Remington Arms factory in Ilion has doubled its workforce from 700 employees to about 1,400 and has invested an additional $20 million in the factory.
 
I wouldn't even care if they did go bankrupt. I stopped even looking at their new lines of guns. They are junk and they should just change their name so they don't tarnish it anymore lol
