Seems the boys at the ATF drop by at REMINGTON for a late night visit last week... Little birdie tells me everything not in order. Wonder what kind of consequences that brings?

Probably doing a trace. Have to start at the factory and work down to the distributor, dealer, and first purchaser.

Yeah, cause ATF would never arbitrarily go after a manufacturer that pissed off the Prince of Penis's Cuomo, right. Can you say JBT harrasment?

That's what I was thinking, tin foil hat on... Between a relocation & the govt sticking a finger in her ass, could slow production & worse... I know the subcontractor is worried now, not to mention the sub contractor trying to get their own line up & running....

Probably, but why the visit at 1:00 am? That seems like harassment right there...why not just during normal business hours?

Again, a bit tin foily, but it begs the question....

Little birdie told me essentially the same thing, one number is so large it's probably a sequential/assignment error, the other....well no one's really sure at this point. Given the shear number of firearms produced there, combined with size, workforce, etc. it's still pretty tightly controlled with relativly little true loss.

Un-interuppted work...there are a lot of people and activity going on; most likely it was prearranged.

You got it. REM is aware of approx. 200 last I knew, truth be told, that's about 1/5 of the pieces... Lots of bad numbers
There were more than a handful of 10 guages around in the 90's that worked their way out... But, I agree, things are tight for such a large place. I don't think barrels are going out down pant legs in winter anymore...

Bought a rifled slug barrel with scope mount years ago, I think at the Cortland gun show. The scope mount wasn't quite straight, but the thing shot like a bandit. Five-shot groups at 100 yards, all touching. Wonder where that gun is now?

There actually used to be a sales list of guns from the factory that would float around Ilion and area, Samples and stuff like that.  Last time I saw it was 10 years ago maybe they don't do it anymore.

WHIP list... Used to be for employees only to bid on, some great deals were to be had. The system dosent work like that anymore. Best deal my Father ever had was when a milk truck collided w/ the REM truck, they auctioned of everything in the truck for cost I believe. For $40 we got a brand new Model 7 in .223 w a Japanese made Tasco on top, 4x. This gun was & is still in mint condition, prob less than 200 down the tube. I miss those days...

I figured that might be a thing of the past.  There were some great deals on the last one I saw, photocopies of those lists went all over the place back in the day.

Rumor had it a few years back the WIP guns were being "repaired" then sold direct to Gander Mountain where they'd sell them, cutting out employees from buying any.
