Remington Arms the Oldest Continually Ran Firearms Company
Posted on 1028 February 2008 by JaMi in Uncategorized
Remington Arms is one of the most synonymous named with firearms in the world. During the start of Remington rifles, Remington wanted a rifle better than any he could buy at the time, 1816. During the course of his quest, Remington found that a number of their farm community neighbors were also interested in high quality low cost firearms, and Remington Arms was born.
The first Remington firearms were flint lock rifles, which were designed with rifling, when most companies still relied on the smooth bore rifling design. By the beginning of 1865 Remington Arms began to sell stock to the public, thus making them a leading force in firearms technology. Remington was exclusively contracted for the Enfield rifles, as well as the Mosin-Nagant rifles. Due to civil unrest the Mosin-Nagant deal almost broke Remington Arms, due to the shift in power in Russia, with Lenin leaving Remington Arms high and dry on a large military contract. At that point Remington looked to the civilian market, which started the Remington legacy, believing their days of military contracts where long gone, but Remington won’t get caught down and out.
Adaptation was the key to holding on the dream, with Remington developing their world famous Remington shotguns, which created a large mark on the civilian market, which can see be felt today. Remington shotguns are some of the best built shotguns on the market, even today. Of course that was just the tip of the iceberg. Remington 870 pump action became a tactical shotgun of choice as well as preferred sportsman shotgun. But Remington shotguns are not limited to the old fashioned pump action, now shooters want the edge, making Remington semi-auto shotguns a must have with competition shooters and hunters. The reliability of the Remington shot is why most police forces in the USA keep one in their squad car.
But military contracts were not over for Remington Arms, the accuracy of the Remington 700 lead to a shift from large armies with full automatic fire to precision snipers using this rifle with minor adjustments. The Remington 700 is being phased out now after almost fifty years in military service, but is still one of the few out of the box rifles that you know will be match grade anywhere you find one. The Remington 700 has been adapted for varmint hunt and even for safari hunting, due to the firing system of the Remington 700, every shot fires like a dream.
The one place Remington guns haven’t developed much interest was in handguns, Remington Arms developed a few bold action precision pistols, but decided not to cheapen their name with more low quality, and stayed true to their high quality time tested precision, which has shooters still praising the firearms giant.
When it comes to hunting Remington firearms have always been there, and will always have a place in the top ten of all time produced firearms. Whether you are a shotgun shooter, bolt action rifle shooter, or just a plinker, Remington firearms will never leave you disappointed.
