I just really hope he didn't sign a non-compete! That would suck to be out of commission for the duration.
He has done some pretty good things for the industry, sad to see it happen this way. Could have at least waited till after SHOT, bet it will be awkward in AAC and Remington booths now...

Re: Kevin
Unfortunately, many could'a - should'a - would'a predicted this outcome. I see it regularly in my industry; a corporate sale occurs, the former owner stays on for any number of reasons, AND IT NEVER WORKS OUT.
Doesn't make it any less painful a pill to swallow. Sorry to see it all go down this way.
I'm betting the 'new' AAC will still turn out good products, and the 'old' Kevin is still a good guy with tons of new opportunities. Best of luck to both.

Re: Kevin
I agree with the above post. Kevin I hope you get back into the industy and do what you did best.
Going a little more discrete here due to some of my opinions...
Re: Kevin
I Know Kevin. He's Family.The guy is BRILLIANT!!Freedom group Fv@&ed up by doing this to him. He was the brains (Steve Jobs anyone?) behind AAC and knows how to make a GREAT product and then market it.Kev will follow any NDA or NCC to the letter of the law …then come back and eat their lunch!Pure Hubris on the part of Freedom Group. Corporate egos know no bounds..and no shame. Corporate geeks LOVE yes men and will NOT tolerate those who “think outside the box” (a la 300 blackout). Its more important to corporate officers that you kiss their Ass than make them money.Ego,ego,ego. Hubris!

Concept was done many years before he was in the business, he just tweaked it to make it his(actually Silvers did)mass marketed it and pushed for SAAMI recognition which are all GOOD THINGS, but nothing outside the box, now the BlackBox? That was outside the box and sadly hasn't seen production.......yet.

I first suggest you buy the home mortgages of all people with the last name Avilla.

Steve Jobs was forced out at Apple once. When the company was on it's death bed, they brought him back... He retained god-like status from then on.
Best wishes and good luck Kevin.
