remington genesis made in spain???
« on: June 01, 2006, 10:59:50 AM »
I brought in a shipment of genesis muzzleloaders last night, and while clearing the load at u.s. customs, I noticed that the country of origin is spain?? Are these going to be the same as the cheap cva's and the traditions  products? anybody have one yet?

Toby Bridges looked at it at the shotshow. He wrote about it shortly afterwords. Apparently it's imported by Traditions for Remington. It was a pretty bad review. I'm not sure why he pulled it off his site.


EDIT: Found it. http://www.hpmuzzleloading.com/newproducts2.html

Yea its a shame Remington didn't make a quality ML like they would be capable of and not go thru traditions.

brought in another load, and customs opened one box to verify the serial number. what a piece of crap!!  the toby bridges review is right on. poor workmanship all around. the customs officer is a hunter as well, and he just shook his head.
