Of interest and I didn’t see it posted. Not sure what to think

i had no idea all those brands had been under the vista umbrella. at least its not a Chinese company buying
maybe they will boost primer production

One of the largest ammunition manufacturers now owned by a foreign company. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Old_Me]

$1.91 Billion dollar deal

if anything, quality control should be as good, or better under the new ownership.

looks like too, they own Fiocchi ammo in Italy.

Worse things to come! Now more US companies are being sell outs! Shareholders are morons, unless they lean a certain direction!

CSG is a large conglomerate, largely focused on defense/military. It's pretty interesting to take a look at what all is under their umbrella:

I don’t know how it will roll but I’m not so sure it will be a bad thing. CZ bought Colt and they are still plugging along. And Fiocci ammo is pretty well made stuff.

Seems everything’s a Global deal anymore. Look at American Tractors like Case IH, John Deere and such. Nothing under a 50 HP is made in the USA

I suppose the gun tubes will make a panic of it tonight

anyone, from any country can come here and buy anything...

(i don't feel that should be allowed...if it's IN America, it should only be SOLD to Americans.)

they just can't take the buildings or land, or people back to thier country.

 

[Mr.W.]

In all honesty, I'm unsure how to feel about this, save surprise. My first task is to learn more about CSG.

America will be owned by foreign countries in the near future. The White House and congress already are.

Just so they don't raise prices to finance the deal.

 

[TEXASforLIFE]

Just don't take what is produced in the US to ship and support abroad or a broad

i have found that many take overs or buy outs usually do involve the buyer to recoup that money, and rather quickly too.

i think we can most certainly expect higher prices, as soon as this deal is approved and done.

like anything else, in time of war or "skirmish", supplies get diverted to the military.

the factories won't be able to keep up for such a huge demand.

So maybe it is time to buy before prices rise. Before the company does raise prices or before the public decides to stock up before they do.
