doctor Helvetica, there sans-serif;”>As part of the one of the world’s largest group of firearms and ammunition marketers, Bushmaster Firearms still hasn’t grown too big to remain supportive of popular target-shooting activities like the CMP’s National Trophy and Games Matches.
Established as a quiet operation 32 years ago in Windham, Maine, the family-oriented company grew steadily over the years and in 2006 caught the eye of Wall Street giant Cerberus Capital Management who purchased the company. Former owner Richard Dyke said at the time that Bushmaster had grown to the point where it needed someone with deeper pockets to manage its potential growth.
Since then Cerberus has formed a holding company, the Freedom Group of Companies, which is a now a Who’s Who in the firearms, ammunition and accessories industry including Remington, Marlin, Bushmaster, DPMS Panther Arms, Harrington & Richardson, New England Firearms, L.C. Smith, The Parker Gun, EOTAC, INTC and Barnes Bullets. -[source]
