I guess I should have added the issue of their quality control going to **** as well. But I agree warranty issues are a bigger concern than parts for the 870.

I'll buy the first of their guns that I find.

I hope that they can keep going. 1816 to 2020......and beyond!
We are rooting for you Eliphalet.

I am sure that this is a venture capital group. They are all about the bottom line. I do not want to seem overly pessimistic here but Remington has been working off of a name for 35 years. That was about the last time I bought a new Remington product of any kind. They screwed over their employees, clay target shooters, sportsmen, and gun clubs.
There is nothing that tells me there will be anything different coming out of them. The only winners in this whole debacle were Ruger and Marlin
Just my .02

On my 870's and 11-87 I glued a button on the safety button to make it stick out more. That way I can have my finger in the trigger guard and push the safety with the second pad of my shooting finger.........Very fast for me.
I don't know if I'll buy the first Remington I see, but if they keep making 700s and 7s I'm sure to buy one sooner or later, particularly if they offer a .17 Fireball and/or .221 Fireball.
I've always been well served by their rifles and never had any complaints until that terrible new trigger came along. Since then, the trigger of every new Remington rifle I've bought has been replaced. Effectively raises the price of their rifle another $175 or so.
I suppose all the lawyers involved in that mess think they've done us a favor. They certainly did for the aftermarket trigger manufacturers.
In any case, I'll start saving my pennies now for another Model 700 or Model 7.

Great. Maybe this version of "Remington" won't produce garbage and trash other previously awesome brands like Bushmaster, DPMS, Marlin, etc.
If you can't tell, I'm really not rooting for them......

870 quality was already abysmal. Unless you forked over for the poliice model, they'd be dead right out of the box. Seen it with my own two eyes.

My REM R1 1911 is the most accurate of several 1911s I have/had.

Having trouble finding the website. Could you link it?
We are happy with my wife's RM 380. I'd like one for myself, so I could have a gun when I'm not carrying a gun....

I have mixed emotions reading these threads. I have been a Remington fan for 50 + years. Glad to say I knew Mike Walker, even if it was in his later days. Wear a Remington belt buckle a lot. But I also live 50 miles from Huntsville and knew a few of the locals that worked at Huntsville. I am very sad they have set up shop back in Illion. New York is continuing to be anti firearms. Alabama welcomed them with open arms. I wish them well, as I do not want to see the name end in the firearms production industry, but I see red flags flying for them to open back in New York, I fear other here are correct, still owned by the bean counters and we can all wish they would return to the days of quality of the Mike Walker days, but I fear this is just another wish and reality will show that the New York decision will once again end in disaster for the Remington name. I do not have good vibes this afternoon. I am just glad Mike is not around to see the end of the company he brought to the top of the manufacturing heap, Winchester made a huge mistake in 1963 and Mike Walker and crew brought Remington to the top in the 1970s and 1980, and she has come a long way to the bottom in the past 40 years. We will see, but I bet the 870 will just be cheap junk, one step above a Chinese copy.

I hope that the Roundhill Group, LLC follows through on the way they are talking so far and are successful with bringing Remington back from the brink. According to what little I've read, they are "comprised of a group of individuals all of whom have years of experience in engineering, manufacturing, and marketing both in and outside of the firearms space. They are all life-long hunting advocates and staunch Remington brand loyalists." (quotes are from the article I read)

www.remarms.com has been intermittent today. Looks like everything they made prebankruptcy, is still there.

I have no dog in this, but I think like most American gun owners, I'd like to see Remington, Colt, etc prosper.
If it were me, I'd start with a couple mid-range firearms. NOT budget- you don't want perception of your product to be junk, even if you have other lines. Every firearm you make for the next year or so will be viewed as "so, THIS is the new Remington..."
I'd say 870, a good semiauto shotgun, 1-2 nice, attractive rifles, and a 1911 handgun (with wood stocks). Everything should be 'classy', as you're trying to show you make 'nice' stuff.

Jeez, I'm sensing a lot of disrespect for the Mossberg brand in some of these posts. I don't know that this disrespect is justified when discussing modern firearms as opposed to what Grandpa was shooting in the golden days of yesteryear.
The U.S. military thinks enough of Mossberg 500 series shotguns that it has made multiple purchases in the many thousands of units. The Mossberg shotguns have met and exceeded every military specification for durability and performance. Had Remington minded their business better its shotguns might be arming the Marines today rather than those made by Mossberg. And I say that as a long time fan of Remington.

Most but not all..........there are no .22 rimfire rifles shown on the new site. Guess the 552 and 572 rifles are "toast".

Follow-up to my post above ^^^^: While there are no .22 rimfire rifles initially shown on the new Remington website "if" you use the search function on the site and put in "model 552 or model 572" it brings up those models and shows production is continuing. A search for "model 597" indicates it has been discontinued.

jest thought this thread needed a little stirring!!

It is my understanding that is why the Beretta 92 was selected over the Sig P226.

I understood it was a quid pro quo. US gets to base nuke tipped cruise missiles in Italy (there we are, carrying the water for NATO, again). Italy gets US handgun contract. We coulda had the Glock 17, sigh.
