DPMS, Bushmaster, Storm Lake, and Tapco are closing their doors.

[IRUNGUNS]

We were made aware of this a couple weeks ago at Shotshow and received confirmation this morning that the Remington Outdoor Company has closed the DPMS, Bushmaster, Storm Lake, and Tapco lines.

There products will no longer be produced.

It is an end to a great era.

That’s unfortunate

No more Bushmaster!?!?!?
Damn

 

[Red_Mist]

saturated AR market?

saturated AR market?

Pretty much... sales are VERY slow down there as everyone has stocked up. Virtue-signalling hurt Bushmaster after the tragedy of Sandy Hook. Too bad as less manufactured parts will increase cost of those now available. I quite liked the Storm Lake pistol upgrades too...

No more ACRs?

No more ACRs?

I was thinking the same thing - is someone picking up that model in the Remington group?

No more ACRs?

That's an interesting question, it would be nice if they did civilian sales of the remington ACR with the metal lower, but that's a dream

Sounds like remington is sticking around so the military ACR's will probably still be around, just not the bushmaster civilian ones.

Kinda beat me to it.

Magpul should get the right back and purchase whatever tooling and CNC programming off Remington to get someone else to make ACR.

I don't think Remington really cares at this point because it looks like it wants to go back to focus on its original core products - instead of being a company that makes everything.

In a way i think that kinda make sense for Remington.

Regarding AR parts and accessories, cant see prices changing.

So no more New tapco sks mags?

 

[IRUNGUNS]

The only firearm they will still produce is the Bushmaster BA50.

really a big market for those? would have thought the acr was a more popular rifle.

RIP anyone stuck in 2009 I guess.

TOP KEK what will we do without Freedom Group's top of the line quality control...?

Man, I was feeling nostalgic and just bought an SKS to Tapco up on Boxing Day.

Maybe just a bigger markup on the 50s

I actually laughed at this

DPMS never really produced anything I cared about. The Oracle was always a very bad AR especially compared to other inexpensive models in the same price range. And yeah, Tapco will go unmourned by me. At least we'll always have their Israeli cousin, FAB
