Today, the Wall Street Journal reports that . . .
Firearms maker Remington Outdoor Co. has agreed to sell its ammunition business out of bankruptcy to South Carolina-based investment firm JJE Capital Holdings LLC for $65 million plus the assumption of liabilities, subject to better offers.
The JJE offer came in the form of a stalking-horse bid, setting a floor on the sale price for Remington’s ammunition business, which the company has been marketing while in chapter 11. Remington filed for bankruptcy protection in July and has been open to selling its ammunition and firearms operations to pay off its debt.
The proposed deal outlined in papers filed Tuesday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Decatur, Ala., covers the design and manufacturing of ammunition sold under the Remington and Barnes Bullets brands and includes production facilities in Arkansas and Utah Link

This doesn't look good. Hope the buyer doesn't milk it dry and close the doors, but it won't be the first time, or the last that an investment firm did that. .

If you can't make money selling ammo in this climate, you need to get a job in Government.

My take is the company can't sell enough ammo to make up for their losses in litigation against them.

Better check for Soros in the background. Buy it and close it down forever is what he's good at.

Some people think that Nazi Germany will never happen again... Well you better wake your [censored] up. George Soros IS AN ACTUAL NAZI and he HATES America. He owns the democratic party today and they are bending over backwards to take his money and sing along with the rioting & war on police, setting the stage JUST LIKE the brown shirts did. The media is a very powerful tool. I hope that someday it will be used for good purposes. I will reserve further comment. .

Soros could buy it now, been up for sale since KKR bought them. Selling Remington ammo is like GMC selling GM finance. It’s idiotic and a death wise to brand. Ammo was actually making money Oh well.

I thought Remington was already sold out to a holdings company?

JJE Capital Holdings LLC either owns or at least has some interest in Palmetto State Armory and their affiliates. To what degree, I don't know.

Chef skinnerback knows what he is talking about. The problem is this country hasn't been affected by a conflict since Vietnam 50+ years ago and that was mild compared to what Skinner's talking about. Example: my remaining 2 grandparents experienced butter ration vouchers and other rationing and they are just a few moons away from 100 years of age. The majority of the Americans that could explain the experience of serious conflict affecting their lives are dead. Every single day more Americans turn voting age and think that the world is fields of flowers and puppy dogs and those that don't have a field and puppy should be given one. They of course aren't willing to give up theirs but rather, let the government give it to them. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have, I say no thank you. My best friend spent some time in the sand box and has said many times, "until we have a war on our soil, it's gonna get worse." I fear he is right. The wave of red white and blue sheep stampeding at us is becoming overwhelming. OK, let's go back to talking about an ammo manufacturer that has been in decline for years, as if it was news worthy.

I know there is a lot of sentimental attachment for Big Green, but I for one would not be upset to see them boarded up. I feel for the people who will lose their jobs, but I have no love for a company in this industry that is owned by people who dont care about the industry past the bottom line. I understand in 2017 they made efforts to change this (a little), but that was too little too late for me.
The only other path forward for them I wouldn't mind seeing is someone who ACTUALLY gives a damn buying them and turning them back into a single or small ownership group (not a investment fund) run company that goes back to the basics and commits to creating a product on par with their pre-CCM reputation. But I dont know how many pro-gun billionaires their are, so this seems unlikely.

I’m watching this with great interest. I reload shotgun ammo and Remington, hands down,’makes the best hull to reload the 12 and 20 gauges that I mostly shoot. It is the only one piece hull with a molded in base wad rather than a cheap base wad insert that can shoot loose. I hope the new buyer continues to produce the good hulls. I’m in the process of building a stockpile just in case....
