I think the only obvious thing is Remington had a reason for what they did but we will probably never know .

I would call it some kind of corporate Shell game.

At the same time they were doing major re-vamp on their own plant in Ilion.

speculation would be they knew the war would end and did not want to have excess capacity after the war.

Also sorts of things like who paid for the tooling.

I think we can conclude it was a different arrangement that was really meant to keep the two entities completely separate entity and arrangement for whatever reasons.

And it really does not matter as we likely will never resolve it. My take is this was not really a Remington entity as a Remington venture with everyone else having all the skin in the game and Remington taking profits (if any)

realistically to me its a totally separate arms making entity (Flag of convenience) . Others of course may disagree.
