Loose Rounds: "Remington Shutting Down TAPCO"

Article here. Apparently Remington is closing down DPMS, StormLake Barrels, Tapco, and Bushmaster (with the exception of the Bushmaster BA50).

  1. Ahhh Tapco. Brings back memories of the "good ol days" when you could browse Shotgun News and order all kinds of accessories for all the wonderful pre-ban weapons available in the late 1980's. IMHO, today's market sucks by comparison.

    1. Tapco was always a good source of parts for someone building an AK or needing parts for an AK or SKS. But I would guess that, since the days of cheap parts kits and inexpensive SKS's are gone, their sales probably weren't what they used to be.
