You're right...Remington rebranded the Baikal guns with Spartan. However, the material I read talked about rifles with different actions than the type Remington makes, higher end o/u shotguns. The basic premise was there were a lot of areas in the gun world that Remington could expand into.

It's listed (I found the link) on the Remington web site. Transcript from the 2005 2nd Quarter conf call.

$#@%@ Seems like Remington's web site is down a couple of times a month. Can't get into it to pull up the transcript.
