Robert,

I doubt the Flues had anything to do with Remington dropping break action guns. They had the rights to the U.S. manufacture of the Browning designed autoloading gun, and could see what the future held. Already in 1907, the Grand American Handicap was won by an amatuer, J.J. Blanks, from Trezevant, TN, with a Remington Autoloading Gun.
