The king is dead; long live the king!

Remington 870 is the most popular pump-action shotgun in the world, with 11 million units sold. It was presented in 1950 and quickly became one of the most popular choices not only for hunters but for Police, Army, Marines, and Special Forces around the world.

But an era has passed, and RemArms decided to stop making the Remington 870 Express after 35 years of production. New Remington 870 Fieldmaster takes its place. Remington Arms bankruptcywas a real tragedy for me as one of brand’s biggest fans.
Remington Arms went through a painful process of bankruptcy and split into two companies: Remington Ammunition and Rem Arms. The companies and brands owned by Remington Arms were sold. A long waiting period followed for the production of our favorite shotguns and rifles. And finally, we see the new and updated version of the Remington 870!

Hello my friends,

A lot of subscribers asked me to write an article about the current situation in Ukraine. Some readers are still surprised that author of the Rem870.com isn’t from USA but from Ukraine :)

One of the questions was about the beginning of this war. Well, this war has deep historical roots; Russia never wanted Ukraine to be independent and used its army to destroy young sovereign Ukrainian states several times already.

You can read more about the background of the full scale invasion to Ukraine in the end of the post.

Remington Bankruptcy in 2018

Remington Outdoor Company has been manufacturing firearm products for close to 200 years now. Remington is best known for manufacturing handguns, shotguns, rifles, and ammunition for a variety of customers, including hunters, military, and police. Cerberus Capital Management is the company which currently controls Remington. It was recently announced that Remington filed for bankruptcy.

The company filed in a Delaware Court less than a week ago. The filing includes a revised plan for getting rid of the $620 million that Remington owes. This would help them payback most of the money they owe to creditors, but they will have to give a majority of the ownership interests in their company to certain lenders. Two of the big lenders here include JPMorgan Asset Management and Franklin Resources Inc.
