    Both those guys did what executives do . . . moved on to a higher paying gig (and I'm guessing with a large severance package too).

    This is my surprised face. That's about the way it always goes with the upper levels of admin, the world over.

    No real surprise about the layoffs. While I want to feel sorry for the industry, it isn't completely about things slowing down. The uptick created a huge market which brought a lot of new players and competition for the big boys.

    Smaller ammunition companies and lots of R&D money spent on new models of firearms. Companies like Sig are benefitting greatly from their investment while Remington is still trying to figure out how to make a reliable compact 380.

    Cerberus was at the controls when Chrysler made a smoking black hole in the ground. I worked for a Chrysler supplier at the time. After Fiat bought them, every month there was something clearly improved and done better in how they operated. Maybe Big Green will actually go broke and get bought and turned around by the world's oldest industrial company. I just hope that something better can arise without the families being too hurt by the process.

    They need to take those workers and produce match grade .22 level ammo that would compete with eley, rws, and sk match ammo.
