I wonder if the trigger issues had anything to do with the bankruptcy? Seems like they had to have spent a lot of money with all the lawsuits and trigger recalls/replacements.
If they had not "denied" it for years upon years while everyone knew their triggers were crap it might have helped.
Add all the other Quality Assurance issues and they cut their own throat.
Many companies with high debt can still be successful, but only if their products are worth buying.
Remington quality turned my away over 10 years ago.
I have seen nothing since then that has turned me back, and if truth be told they have gotten worse.
