Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Remington to close H&R plant

It wouldn't make sense, business wise. The companies bought by Cerebrus all are popular. As I hear it, the big wig at Cerebrus himself is a avid hunter and conservative.

We can only guess really. Aint no way to tell what goes on in them big board rooms.

Those two words from the article is your answer.

Probably right. Firearms, with only a little care, last forever and the prospective purchaser population is getting smaller.

Exactly!!
So, can't you guys read?? Everyone is compaining like the entire NEF line of products is going away. Nowhere does it say or imply that. In fact is says that all of the NEF products will stay.

Looks like firearms companies are just getting away from the anti gun crowd and high taxes in New England. Ruger & Remington moved some of their operations and Winchester (FN) moved all of theirs. IIRC they relocated in Arizona, Kentucky and S.Carolina.

Maybe I should start a campaign to get them to relocate to Kentucky.

I'll work for 'em,... and we've got some good media too.

Last Thursday, the Brady Campaign � a group that advocates gun control measures � said Oklahoma was tied with Kentucky having the fewest gun control �points� in a national study. Out of a possible 100 points, the two states scored a two.

for what it's worth, i bought one of those russian-manufactured remington over/under 20 gauge shotguns.

first time i took it out you couldn't open it after a few rounds. the "ejectors" were bent, according to the gunsmith. also told me i didn't do anything wrong and could not have avoided that.

???

said i didn't hurt the gun, and it should run fine now. gunsmith on site at the shop where i bought the shotty.

don't think i'm interested in another russian remington.

IMO, Remington is headed down the same path as winchester. They are grasping at straws to stay afloat. Didn't they, also, buy Marlin? Lets wait & see what happens there.
They will close both marlin & H&R, get rid of the unions and farm their manufacture to overseas. And don't be surprised if the same thing doesn't happen to Remington.

i hope they leave marlin alone

i hope they leave marlin alone

i have had an h&r revolver (forget the model number but it is has a 6" barrel and case hardened frame with both a 22 and 22 mag cylinder) for probably 30 years. great shooting revolver which works as well today as when new. sorry to learn they might be a thing of the past. progress i guess!

H & R lost it's appeal for me when they did away with ejectors. Then they offered poorly chambered .35 Whelens that wouldn't fire. There isn't much of a choice on any other short inexpensive rifle with a decent quality. I have wondered how a gun company could put up with MA, but also note that Henry is in NY.

i wasn't aware henty is a ny company

They will---this was being looked into very seriously even before Cerberus. Marlin is the standard to which Big Green is being expected to perform to.

BTW -- they did do away with Marlins sales force and are using Remington's.
