U.S. Rep. Richard Hanna, R-Barneveld, has announced that Remington Arms Company was recently awarded a nearly $50 million direct commercial sale contract to supply the Armed Forces of the Philippines with more than 50,000 R4 carbines. The work will be completed at the Ilion Firearms Plant located in Ilion, New York. Components will be sourced from Remington’s facilities and suppliers across 20 states. In addition to the rifles, the contract also includes accessories and spare parts for the rifles. Work is scheduled to begin immediately and will continue through 2014.

Why is a US Representative announcing this contract? Honest question.
To show his constituents the hard work he is doing to secure commerce for his district. This is quite common.
Et tu, Brute?
Glad to see selling out is profitable.
