Maybe they should focus on not charging so much money for mil-spec rifles.

[lbcsv]

They’ve gone bankrupt too many times and this is just another one of their bad decisions.

I'm not sure what kind of Intel Community you're tapped into, but Guns & Gadgets always seems to be the first with all the important or impactful firearms news.

Thanks colt for making my colt increase in value.

[cnB]

Thanks Jared....appreciate the update.

[Pwade]

LMAO at these guys going after “government contracts.”

“Hi, I’m Colt. I’m going to cut off my right arm so I MIGHT get some action with my left.”

[billthompson]

I have my Colt Python .357,
And my Anaconda 44magnum, very happy with both of them.

[crowman]

You mean colt will supply military with more long rifles to use against American citizens

[meshackin]

Any gun for sale to the government should be available for the general public to purchase.

[simpsonrdlarry]

Personally I don't know why anyone would pay for a colt when there's way better stuff to be had for the same or less money!

[marcalley]

In the 80s and 90s they changed fire control group pin size and takedown pin size also removed bayonet lug. I wouldn't have 1.

Colt is a company out of Hartford CT, where they were told they weren't even able to sell those rifles in that state and haven't been for a long time. The real issue here is they own the design and patents from Armalite. Legally they are the only ones that can call their gun an AR-15, every AR built by anyone else is considered AR "style".

[garyc]

Did my H-Bar AR Just go up in value 😬

[charlesbronson]

That worked so well for them last time. Colt is finished.

[jameshanlon]

If Colt wants to cut their own throats, I say be my guest. It’s their loss.

[sdl]

Keep up the good work you seem to always stay on top of things.

[jeffamerican]

They just can’t compete with a sub $500, excellent quality AR.

[wildlifeYaktographer]

Good my two Colt M4s with consecutive sn# will go up in value

[teddydavid]

Oh no now I can't overpay and get the rifle I never wanted

[mtrent]

Who’s government contracts are they trying to land? Now I’m really glad I went with an M&P15.
