Wasnt Remington bought out along with marlin and bushmaster , the quilty control went in the trash I was at a gun store last week and a guy could not even
work the lever on a marlin 30 30 gun store person said they send so many Remingtons and marlins back right out of the box its sad. I believe he said that
they were bought out by some investor stock market type called freedom group
I maybe totally wrong , I was kind of shocked by it though snyway good luck
to you
