We are happy to announce the following acquisition news!

The crew that you know will still be here doing what we do. AAC is still AAC, but we will be moving into a brand new much larger space, and have access to more R&D and production resources than ever. We are really excited about what the future holds.

Don’t worry, we will continue to make cans for guns from every manufacturer and their various models- and stock and delivery issues will soon be a thing of the past! More news soon.

REMINGTON PURCHASES AAC

An industry icon’s new venture in suppressor technology.

By Tom Beckstrand

Remington announced today that they have purchased the assets of Advanced
Armament Corporation, an industry leader in suppressor manufacturing.  The
AAC acquisition appears to be part of Remington¹s broader strategic goal of
returning American military weapons production to the American industrial
base.

For the first time in years, Remington has introduced new products in the
sniper rifle space with the Modular Sniper Rifle (MSR) and the
carbine/sub-compact weapon space with the Adaptive Combat Rifle (ACR) to
compete for emerging US government special operations and conventional force
requirements. As it currently stands, the majority of small arms produced
for the American military come from companies headquartered overseas.

Remington’s decision to purchase AAC stems from recognition that future
military weapons selections will almost unilaterally require sound and/or
signature reduction. Our military has been at war for over 8 years now and
experience shows that there are significant tactical advantages associated
with suppressor use; hence the military’s interest in adopting this new
requirement.

The Advanced Armament Corporation is a small business devoted to suppressor,
or ‘silencer’, development and production. AAC is headquartered in Georgia
and has recently experienced substantial growth from the military¹s interest
in and purchase of suppressors including its subcontractor role as the
provider of silencers and flash hiders for the SOF Combat Assault Rifle
(SCAR) program. Civilian sales are also up as civilians become increasingly
aware that suppressor ownership is legal in 34 states.

AAC is one of the largest suppressor manufacturers in the United States.
However, few suppressor companies are positioned to provide suppressors in
the quantities required by existing and future military contracts while
still being able to meet growing civilian demands. The merger of Remington
with AAC will enable AAC to take advantage of Remington¹s production
capabilities as well as benefit from the additional R&D capabilities that
Remington has to offer.

While Remington purchased AAC¹s assets and intellectual property, initial
indications are that they have no intention of replacing AAC’s executive
staff with one of their own and that they are instead intent on expanding on
AAC’s current footprint. AAC will report to Remington’s Military Products
Division, but the leadership at AAC, including former owner Kevin
Brittingham, will remain in place and continue to function as they have in
the past.
