Remington Kills Para USA Brand

[WLJ]

It seems the branding death march continues at Freedom Group, as more and more of the smaller brands under the Remington umbrella are killed off and merged with Big Green proper. The latest casualty is Para USA, a 1911 handgun manufacturer known for competition handguns and good quality products. In a press release this morning, Remington announced that Para USA will no longer exist as a separate brand, and their products will be sold under the amalgamated Remington branding instead. Make the jump for the presser .

Remington is a failing entity. Para USA are the great minds behind the renowned R51, Remington was the brilliant company that brought it to market. Remington has not brought a decent firearm to market in a very long time, they survive on brand loyalty alone. IMO its the result of a top heavy company that focuses more on profit and the bottom line rather then producing quality firearms.

Does this mean the Para 1911 i have is going to be a collector's item?!? Ching Ching *blinks eyes with dolla signs in them*

[Wyldman]

Hardly. With the stain of Remington on it, you probably won't be able to give it away. I'll do you a big favor and take it off your hands for proper disposal.

[Gunsmokin]

Haha! I knew that was coming. Lol. Thanks Wyldman, never disappointed.

So I guess whatever is sitting in stores now will either get marked up or decrease. I bet they will go up.

[Wyldman]

And I'll bet they continue to sit right where they are.

[rustynuts]

On the shelf.

[Gunsmokin]

Haters! Damn it man! Wish I was on KAC more when I bought the POS, ya'll coulda steered me away. What's worse, I'm thinking that I used the money from selling an older mil spec SA 1911 to buy the para. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

[rustynuts]

You said it, and you likely know yourself better than any of us do.

[rustynuts]

?

[Gunsmokin]

You said it, and you likely know yourself better than any of us do.

At least I'm self-aware. Lol

[RecoilSensitive]

There are only 3 Remington Guns I like

870
1100
597

[Niceguy]

I have a 870 and a older (60's-70's) 700 in 22-250. I really like both of them.

[Joe]

I like all my Remingtons.

[Rem700]

Have 700 and 597. Had 870. I liked all of them. Never a problem with any of them. All manufactured within the last 8 yrs or so.

[Rem700]

I agree Remington is failing. Living off old (still good IMo) designs. The name of the game today is innovation and wow factor.
