It really is baffling just how many issues have plagued the Remington brand over the years, and while I'm usually not into conspiracy theories, it really does make you wonder if someone wanted to legitimately ruin the Remington brand. I don't know why anyone would want to do such a thing, (unless the company was bought out by Nancy Pelosi or something) but I'm not read up on all the crazy laws regarding corporate bankruptcy procedures, so for all I know their may be some way to profit from it via some crazy scheme ala The Producers.
At any rate, I still don't know what they were thinking when they hired Anthony Accitelli a few years back. I mean, they already had some serious quality control problems, then they hired the former CEO of Taurus International, who was in office during the period of time in which their QC was at an all-time low in which several models were recalled due to safety issues, and the company lost millions of dollars in a class action lawsuit, and before that he worked for Colt during a time when their QC was at an all time low, coincidence?
As for their future, I'm not optimistic about it... At least not in the short term. I mean, every company has its hour of darkness so to speak, including Smith & Wesson, but they all tend to change hands and bounce back eventually once someone who actually cares about the brand takes the helm. Hopefully sooner rather than later Remington will be acquired by a company who will devote themselves to restoring faith in the brand by improving QC.
