Default Gunmaker Remington says it will file for bankruptcy

Restructuring over slump in gun sales which they may not pull out of. Won’t be the first time a large firearm company slid into the abyss...


They are a large producer of ammunition so I bet they will spin that off
if they wind down. I have a pallet of their shotgun shells in my
warehouse. Cabelas had a deal at $4.99 per box with free shipping so I
bought 540 boxes. I got an email that my order was delayed and then a
phone call a few days later from a nervous guy who said he had to ship
by truck. No problem, my employer has forklifts.

In DC I used to go to the distributor and buy shotgun shells by the
pallet. We took 2 trucks to haul them away. (a load for the Virginia
club and one for the maryland club.
That was the olden days when there were 20 boxes in a case. The last
time I saw a case it was 10 boxes. We were getting AAs for around $2 a
box tho so it was worth doing. I bet my ex still has case sitting
around. I took a couple and left her a couple.

The cheapest I've seen them since then is $6.49 per box so now I wish I
had bought two pallets. I'm down to just over half but I've sold about
120 to friends I shoot with.
