It appears the rumors from SHOT are correct and that Remington has stopped making products under the Remington and DPMS lines.
Going to the BM or DPMS home pages links back to the Remington home page. At the bottom of the Remington page the only brands listed are Remington, Marlin, Dakota Arms, Barnes and AAC.
And then there's this:
Not a huge surprise...
Maybe KRG will negotiate back the rights to the ACR and re-release it as the Masada.
Yeah, people are freaking out about it elsewhere. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s business. When GM shut down Pontiac, Saturn and Oldsmobile there wasn’t less cars after that.
Nah. No conspiracy. DPMS brand was the "poor man's rifle" for years but there are a ton of budget ARs on the market now.Originally Posted by Darth_Uno
The only thing I thought was cool from DPMS is the redesign of the 308 AR. But the GII format hasn't really caught on.
Anyway maybe Windham Weapons can get the Bushmaster name back?

Why would anyone WANT it?

Freedom Group has made a lot of dumb decisions over the years, but really, who is going to miss these two? It's a bigger mystery why they were kept around as long as they were. They were past their use-by date the moment the AR market exploded after the sunset in 2004.
Doubtful, but maybe, the "Massoud" (Fox 42) is awesome.
The ACR was really the only reason to keep BM around.Doubtful, but maybe, the "Massoud" (Fox 42) is awesome
I assume Magpul still owes the design but will they bother licensing it to someone else? Probably the smart thing to do is actually produce it under the Magpul label.

100% agree but the ship may have sailed with the ACR. If anyone has a chance of reviving the model its Magpul.

There are a number of reasons the ACR failed. Remember the "Hitler finds out about the ACR" video?

Pretty much still true ten years later.
