Makes me think of Fight Club.

"A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."

The owners of the owners of Remington would have done the math......maybe closing the Remington name down was an option / alternatively pay out to fix the triggers...and keep the Rem name going, for now.

They also own
Advanced Armament Corporation
Barnes Bullets
Bushmaster Firearms International
Dakota Arms
DPMS Panther Arms
H & R Firearms
Marlin
Mountain Khakis
Para USA
Parker Gunmakers
TAPCO

So their profit margin probably wouldnt have missed Rem......anyway, y'all gets a new trigger.

Interesting... That's more of a boutique outfit than I thought a company like Remington would pick up.

If I recall correctly there was a line of Parker shotguns within the Rem range, or under the Rem umbrella anyway, kind of like the Stevens line under Savage, but more exclusive...
