I suppose its POSSIBLE that CCI/Federal/Remington/Hevi-Shot would be sold to an overseas investment group.. Vista has been talking to a couple of Czech firms for several months (one of the deals just fell through within the last couple of weeks)...
But I think its incredibly unlikely the actual manufacturing and distribution of those lines would move from the US..
The US is the primary market for those particular brands, and is the largest consumer of commercial ammunition in the world.. it would be foolish to move far away from their customer base..
Then you'd have the red tape and cost associated with import/export, not to mention shipping costs of an already expensive, premium product...
And the cost to ship the equipment in those factories to another location would be astronomical.. they'd have to sell off the equipment to what would become a competitor, and then purchase all new equipment if they moved the factory..
Considering Remington just did that a few years ago when they needed to retool and replace a lot of equipment (they sold most of their stuff to Sig, who then opened an ammunition plant just a few miles from Remington), and theyre now working with very new, modern, capable machinery... selling and repurchasing again makes no business sense..
