Back when I was still going to night school we had a course that covered the aggregation of companies, big fish eat little ones.
No company that has shareholders is immune from a takeover or buyout, especially since most publically held gun companies are not apt to be the next Microsoft. I think the TC/S&W merger will be the one to watch. Wait until they decide to build an auto shotgun and a long action and magnum Icon. The used gun racks will be bulging with 11-78s and 700s.

I remember the takeover of Coleman camping products from our local companies, quality dived production moved to China. The buying of companies that produce precision products by money conglomerates usually does not improve quality.

silver: Does Remington get better, worse or stay the same with the new owners?

Remington -NETTED- $300,000 in 2006. This is after three losing years.
Now, the question should be, Better for whom? If there has been new management to turn around the lose, then things may stay the same for a while. Sounds like something may be moving to Fort Knox KY (E-town). I know that my state would be interested in having them or any other company, PM me and I will get you set up!

just for the arcane and for those curious in such things (superstitious??)
cerberus (kerberos) was the three headed dog that guarded the entrance to Hades, and was the 12th task of Hercules.

Excellent point, Dale! The mythical 3 headed dog is a very apt metaphor for the internal struggles of a man desperately trying to keep track of the lies he tells while assuming 3 different aliases!

They already are because there are so many of them, and for good reason. They work.

The way I see it, it will be a good thing. Big Green will be around for a long time. They still have the biggest part of the firearms market share.
