Trouble at AAC
From the Military Times Gearscout posted today
http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gears...hakeup-at-aac/
"I’m getting credible reports that Kevin Brittingham was escorted from the premises of Advanced Armament Corporation this morning.
I’m told Freedom Group reps and lawyers were on hand with security guards to lead AAC’s founder out of the building. John Day from Freedom Group is rumored to be the interim president of AAC.
The firing comes as Brittingham is reportedly only partway through the contract he signed when he sold AAC to Freedom Group back in 2009. I don’t think this will end quietly or easily for Remington or their parent company Freedom Group."

This should get interesting. I kind of hate it when the little guy sells out to a huge conglomerate like "The Freedom Group"-Dan

Typical outcome whenever Cerberus buys out a company...every one of the founders/principals are inevitably going to clash with the "report readers" and bean counters, who have never innovated at anything in their lives as followers, and the founders/principals and people who are capable of leaving and finding another job or starting a new venture tell them to drop dead, and then the HR goon squad comes in to make them clear out their desks.
As soon as his non-compete agreement expires, he will be kicking their ass with a new suppressor company. Happens all the time....

If you guys knew what kind of shenanigans he pulled with FNH, you'd think differently of him.
It doesn't surprise me one bit and it couldn't happen quick enough as far as I'm concerned.
I hope Mers isn't collateral damage as he is actually a nice guy.07/02 SOT Manufacturer, Suppressors, NFA Firearms, and everything else COOL!

Don't know the man myself, but I am familiar with the story on how he was escorted out of his own company....

He sold it so it isn't his anymore.
I would bet he was trying the same stunts he did with FNH, and Freedom Group would have none of it.
What's that old saying about a canine and the dawn of a new...?
I also understand FG gave him $20,000,000.00 for AAC.
