Fans of the Remington Legacy shouldn't be so quick to forgive D'Arcy for gutting Big Green, and subsequently dancing around in a Big Green mask to prey on their nostalgia.
What happened to Savage? They spent some time under relatively gun-un-friendly management, and they bought themselves out of the chaos to retain their legacy as a customer focused manufacturer. What happened to Marlin? They starved on reducing sales until they had no choice but to be bought by Remington, and D'Arcy killed them too - but Ruger, famously an industry leader in customer service, is resurrecting the Marlin line. What happened to Winchester? They faltered, sold out their name to folks with a reputation for producing quality imported firearms, and they've earned back a small but standing market share. What happened to Bushmaster? They sold their small house to a mega brand, didn't like the direction, then bought the assets and retained production under a new name (Windham), while their NAME got burned alive in the House of D'Arcy, until now the brand name ONLY has been picked up by some small house who is also trying to capitalize on a legacy name, without any actual ties to Bushmaster, and they're struggling for it... There are examples of how companies have rebounded from struggles, and there are examples of crooks trying to capitalize on defaults...
D'Arcy and Rem Arms don't deserve the forgiveness of Remington fans.
