Well, the CEO of Remington has resigned! Surprising he wasn't lynched having destroyed two great old brands, Remington and Marlin. A little worrying when the article states;

"Remington has a long way to go before they can completely restore their reputation, but things may still turn around for the company. They’re working hard to bring a new modern lineup of guns for sport and self-defense with a leaner, more efficient manufacturing team."

A year or two ago it was all the talk in the "Marlin World" that assemblers on the production line were paid minimum wage and were expected to put together a complete lever gun in just over two minutes! "Leaner and efficient" is probably what got the Ilion factory into trouble in the first place!

Thank goodness, let's hope they actually put someone with an engineering sense in mind! Having worked as an engineer in manufacturing for 6 years I doubt I'd have enough experience for this :(

Who was the CEO of (JM) Marlin? They could offer it to him. :)

Frank Kenna III was Chairman and Robert Behn was President of Marlin. I remember both retired after the move to Ilion was completed. Both old fellas as well, I think.....
