The Truth About Guns: Remington CEO stepping down.
I wonder who Remington will (or should) hire as his replacement. |
|
The personal reasons being "I suck at my job"?
Be he still got a nice parachute after running them into the ground though. |
|
Hopefully someone can bring this company back to what it once was

|
Translation "I personally suck a managing a once thriving business."

This is truly a surprise to everyone and he "Marco" is a well respected no BS guy. Someone you can have a beer with after work. In under 2 years as CEO he created and implemented many improvements across the company. A big focus on quality and process improvements was his main goal and did well at that in a short time.
We wish him the best and Godspeed. |

I thought they looked interesting and would buy one in the future if Remington demonstrated an ability to produce a working firearm. But instead I bought a Shield 45 and a PPS M2 this summer. |

Make Remington Great Again by bringing back the 1894 lever action in .357 magnum. Put a nice finish on the stock also.

Seems to me they had plenty of problems befor he came in, such as the instant rust finish, the murder of Thompson, Marlin, etc...

Remington has been crappy for awhile. The whole culture probably needs a change.
Wasnt their recent release of a striker pistol, a disaster? Maybe that was the straw that broke the camel's back. It was the RP9 |

Looks like their better at ejecting CEOs than their 870s are at ejecting shells. I wish em luck.

If he was, as DPMS says, a guy that was pushing for higher quality control standards, it will be a big loss.
The RP9 and R51 are ridiculous pistols but the R1 1911s are decent. The two Remington SPS Tactical rifles that a friend and I bought last year are good shooters and the X Mark trigger is much better than those I have used in the past. I wonder if the Marlin debacle has been fixed? ![]() |

Remington needs to modernize their ACR a little and market it, no military is ever going to buy it so WTF are they sitting on it for?
|
|
It's fixable. I do turnarounds, and I'm the CEO of a manufacturing company. They can pay me $1 per year, and of course in a gun per week and a few stock grants.

However, while true that a process improvement at the manufacturing level, will not be immediately realized at the consumer level; it is also true that a process shitting the bed will not be immediately realized by the consumer, in proportion to the reputation/good-will, said bed shitter has. Remington had a brick shit house, with cathedral ceilings, full of shit/goodwill stored up. Yet, they managed to shit the bed with such velocity, frequency, and volume that a 30-Yr old 870, and its millennial-modern-day-inbred-cousin-express, are as far apart as Feynman and a Neanderthal. Imagine what you could have been DPMS. |
