[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2630777, member: 108323"] Remington actually went into bankruptcy in 2018 and 2020. They were liquidated in 2020 with Vista Outdoors buying the ammunition side, Rugar picking up the Marlin side and a private investment group buying the Remington Ilion, NY firearms plant and reopening it as RemArms. There were some reported issues with quality. As I recall the primary issue was with primary extraction timing of the bolt affecting the extraction of the fired cartridge. In some cases it required removing and reattaching the bolt handle. The current issues for us Rem owners is spare parts. For a while you couldn't find things like extractors but PTG started making them. Be aware that factory support for older Remington products is probably hit or miss. [/QUOTE]
