I have read all four of the last comments. Please stop speaking your embarrassing yourself. Not one of you clearly knows anything about free market business corporate governance etc. Remington was given a contract because they have the ability to manufacture on a massive scale and the QAQC is completely left up to the government and their qualifications.
I just read that Congress slapped the hand of the Marine Corps for ordering 5.56mm rifles. Congress wants our armed forces to go to a 6.2mm weapon. Yet Army is gearing up on this 5.56mm? Just WHO is minding the store up on the hill?
Disgusting! Remington should have been allowed to die. That’s how innovation happens.
Remington is an example of the military/industrial complex. The assumption that an American company located within the nations geographic boundary is essential to the nations defense. This is a valid assumption, to insure the means of
production of essential defense components.
Whaaaaaaat? Which allies? I hope it’s not GB, Au, NZ,Ger, or Fr. They are most definitely NOT our allies.
So they aren’t bankrupt?
