Remington VersaMax recall

I noticed several gun rags named it shotgun of year in the same issue, that rem had recall notice in. 

It seems like freedom group (or whatever owns rem now) have had more than a few recalls on both firearms and ammo.  Are they just more proactive or are they getting sloppier with development/quality control?

I'm sure they are a bigger target, but I would think the others would be concerned about liability also.  It seems like especially with regards to ammo, they have a larger percentage of the recalls, do they just do a better job of catching it, after the fact or do they miss more to start with.  It seems like they always have recall on one ammo or another, I can't seem to recall when another ammo maker had last recall.  It seems like it's on more of their "budget" lines, maybe they're outsourcing too much of it.  Maybe they are just running lines too fast, trying to meet current demand, I just know, I'm glad I roll my own.

"The American Rifleman" just defended their naming the versamax shotgun of the year..same issue the recall was in also.....read all about it in the July issue I think.....

Robert you are probably correct about commonly owned.  I tried to check and couldn't find anything definitive.  their site says they are the manufacturer of both guns and ammo.

My earlier statement was based upon my memory that when Dupont sold Remington arms, Dupont held onto the owership of the ammunition products as it fit with their chemical and explosives product group.  But seems I was wrong about them being separate companies today "shows how little I know".
