DefenseReview managed to reach Advanced Armament Corp. (AAC) owner Kevin Brittingham by phone today, and we were able to confirm that Freedom Group/Cerberus has NOT acquired AAC. So, the rumor that’s been floating around out there about it is untrue.

Rumor debunked. Makes you wonder who put that rumor out there and why. If anyone’s got any info on it, we’d like to find out.

Editor’s Note: AAC makes great products, so it wouldn’t surprise us in the least if a larger company indeed wanted to acquire them. AAC’s stuff is solid.
