Rumor of the Day: Remington Has Fired All AAC Personnel
- Thread starter mikeyp
- Start date
I'm so done with Remington, it's not even funny. First, their own QC went down the tubes in the name of monetary savings, leaving owners with a product that is vastly inferior to their old production. Now, they pull the same crap with AAC. So, their suppressors won't be a viable option anymore, shortly. They have a way to screw things up. Savage it is. Or Stiller, Surgeon, or Montana rifle works. But certainly no more Remy products.
I bought some Remington .22lr last week and I have to wonder how good it will be.
Better than no 22, but not much

I have never received worse service than from Para... I'm done with anything freedom group, period.
Yeah. Only about 66% better since only 2 in 3 will go bang. If it's a good batch.
If that's true then expect those folks to start a company

Not that big a loss to the weapons and ammo world actually. Those folks should find work fast
Tell that to all the people who have purchased AAC products recently, and may have to get them serviced at some point. Also, AAC was an innovative company. The 300 became popular really fast. What was the last product from Remington that secured market shares as quick as the Blackout?
BIG. CORPORATIONS. SUCK. MOOSECOCK.
It will not be good. I have a few thousand rounds of Thunderbolt and it is sh!t. But it is, indeed, better than nothing.

It's a great big F U to NY for fudging up the laws but I feel terrible for the Ilion area that will surely be affected by this. I know the berkshires took a hit when GE downsized in Pittsfield
more like, they are closing a division to make more money
either way it's a common business practice: acquire a new brand; assimilate the product line; and then close the satellite division. It usually takes a year or two. It's not practical for big companies to keep multiple offices. They like to close them as fast as they buy the next brand. Unfortunately quality can seriously suffer once the manufacturing is relocated.
Last box of REM I used was horrible. probably a good 30-40 FTF
AAC moves to Huntsville 2/2015.
Specifically, Remington is moving AAC production to the consolidated factory in Huntsville, AL in February 2015.
I wouldn't buy any AAC product made in the next 12 months (ditto for the other business units which are relocating), but I'm not going to boycott Remington over a business decision.

Good to know, but I am likely going to look at other companies for the pistol can I want.
So the same thing they did moving Bushmaster to NY is happening again. Most of the workforce will not move, new workers will be hired. Quality will plummet as the new workers have no experience and knowledge from working with the product for years. QC and repairs will be in the toilet until the new people actually learn the product.
Basically Remington buys companies for their product, not their experience, knowledge or quality.
