Remington can still pull out of this. But it will take Cerberus Capitol Management being willing to sell at a loss to their investors. That's hard to do without people dumping Freedom Group stock all together. Which will drive them into an even deeper hole. Remington's problem is not it's products, but rather it's baggage. Both financial and legal. Law suits and payouts over the Walker and X-Pro Trigger systems have drained them financially over the years. And all the while most all of the owners including DuPont, took from the company, and added nothing to it in regards to modernization of equipment. All the while that was taking place overpaid union employees were milking them dry.
Add it all up and the old gal has nothing left to give. If they get sold cheap enough to a company with enough venture capital to invest in it, and at the same time be willing to be patient enough before seeing a return on their investment, they could turn the company around. But they also need better marketing. In that they need to stick with proven products that have sold well over the years. And stop with the cheap, non 1911 pistols, and other loser products that no one is currently buying, or is ever going to buy. And of course the, "Trump gun glut" isn't helping anyone in the firearms business. Sales of all the major gun manufacturers is way off, compared to what it's been for the last 8 years living under fear of increased legislation that no longer exists.
