On the upside, Barnes sold out years back and look where they are now. It's always a "wait and see" when something like this happens.
You're right.
Sometimes, the investor brings in capital to what may be an undercapitalized operation (the only kind I ever had anything to do with) and the visionaries can then grow their "baby" into what it should be.
Other scenarios, the "bean counters" take over and the visionaries/engineers/innovators are suddenly on the hind teat. I think that's what we're seeing with the Remington, Marlin fiasco. Ruger seems to have a handle on their operations.
