TheFirearmBlog: [Part 1. Part 2 and 3 at the link] Over the past several months we’ve been fortunate enough to tour all of Remington’s major facilities for gun manufacturing and ending with this tour of the ammunition plant located in Lonoke, Ar. All of Remington’s ammunition is made at this plant.
The entire compound which includes the original plant, the new extension plant as well as the Remington Gun Club covers some 1200 acres of Arkansas forest and wetlands. In fact the area within the fenced acreage has enough deer and other game for the company employees to hunt.
When the facility was constructed in 1969, and opened in 1970, it was so far removed from any city or services they actually had to construct it to be self sustaining. They even have their own hospital inside the plant which is still in operation today.
And now, if you will all just follow me this way…
I had a Remington typewriter back in the day.
No video? Pass
Interesting but not fascinating.
The “follow me” link just took me to part 1 with no obvious paths to parts 2 and 3. This link will show all three.

Look at all the recalls down the page. Is this normal for all ammo or just Remington?
Remington, the Kmart of weapons manufacturing.
Now, now, Bad_Brad, you know as well as I do that Remington makes a fantastic . . . .
well, they make a fine . . . .
they make an adequate . . .
Well, I’ve got an 870 tricked out for home defense. I haven’t fired it often. Don’t want to fire it often. But it was cheap.
Other than that . . .
Oh, never mind.
Thanks for the post; it was enjoyable and also gave some of the regular elitist pricks something to bash.
Hey! That’s where my girlfriend worked back in the 90s. She made the extra large gauge shotgun shells, or punt gun rounds in 6 or 4 gauge.
I load with Hornady. Consistent weight matters. But I do have a shitload of Remington casings and don’t have any trouble with them at all.
Arkansas is loaded with deer.
