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. |

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

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 |

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. |
