mike todd Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 YUP HATE TO SEE IT HAPPEN BECAUSE IT GIVES THE OTHER SIDE MORE AMMO TO BEAT THEIR CHEST OVER AND USE AGAINST US. but as a past businessman cant see how they lasted this long. with a NIB M-4 in the box slowly moving at under $700 no way can they survive. IN MY OPINION THE WORST MISTAKE THEY MADE WAS MAKING THE ANNOUNCEMENT! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER FOR ALL CONCERNED JUST TO STOP PRODUCTION AND RUN SILENT. THE WAY THEY DID IT IS LIKE ADMITTING IT WAS WRONG TO OFFER THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. DAMMIT THESE DAYS ARE 20 TIMES WORSE THAN EUROPE IN THE 30'S AND I FEEL LIKE SOME LONE ARMORER IN SHED AT FORT STEADMAN VIRGINIA APRIL 1865 TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SURVIVE WHEN THE SMOKE STARTS CLEARING. TEXAS PLAYED A MAJOR PART IN THE CIVIL WAR SUPPLYING MEN AND MATERIAL, EVEN THOUGH FEW OWNED SLAVES. THE PRIMARY OBJECTION THEN AS IT IS NOW, BEING FEDERAL MEDDLING WITH STATE AFFAIRS there were 5 major battles here and we were victorious in all firmly routing the blue coats and most historians agree the last battle of the civil war was fought here in TEXAS . LOOKING BACK , FEDERAL TROOPS WERE THE 62ND COLORED REGIMENT AND 200 TROOPS OF THE INDIANA VOLUNTEER'S. THEY WERE SOUNDLY ROUTED BY MASSIVE ARTILLERY AND SCREAMING CHARGES. LOT OF GOOD THAT DID ANY TEXAN, THEY STILL TOOK IT UP THE ASS FROM THE CARPET BAGGERS AND ITS STILL COMMING UNABATED. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.L. Posted September 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Colt today is NOT the same as the Original Colt of years past. That can be said of most firearm conglomerates today. Most old American firearms companies have been bought out and products dropped for cost cutting. (Armalite, McMillian to name just 2). It's not about firearms now, just profit returns for a bunch of maggot investors who could care less about the product, it's history manufacture etc. Just profits friends. Glad I have a bunch of classic firearms built during the golden years of firearms manufacturing, when "gunsmiths", not technicians handcrafted what we all love. P.F.S.!! R.L.

Rodney's Distributors Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 It is shameful that Walmart and Colt are caving under pressure of the anti-gun asswipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.L. Posted September 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Sam Colt is PUKING in his grave. What IS a shame, and NATIONAL DISGRACE is that there are people(that's being kind) in this country that will not be happy until they totally destroy every single shred of American culture and our rich history.That includes our history of firearms, the winning of the West, the conquering of illegal land, and our hard fought victories during the American Revolution ,Great War,Second World War, Korean War, VietNam War,Grenada, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and a number of un-named and secret spook wars.American history is steeped in firearms, like it or not. We cannot allow the mentally deranged left to do this to our beloved Country. Vote in 2020 to keep America, America. Otherwise we will become the new Soviet Union. I was in the CCCP before and after the curtain came down. Guarantee you would not like Soviet style government! Even the liberal sissy soy boys and girls would be most unhappy waiting all day in a bread line!! FWIW R.L.

BrettBaker Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Didn't Colt imply when they began finishing up the current contracts, they'd start selling to us non-sworn civilians? Still, it seems like they WANT to turn people into Stag, PSA, Ruger, Smith, etc. buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDMERC Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Well actually it is probably more an issue of economics as opposed to Colt "giving in" to the gun grabbers, or trying to score political points with the socialist democrats. With most distributors, and even dealers, there is a glut of AR-15's on the market. By temporarily discontinuing production, Colt is probably hoping to see demand come closer to equaling supply. By taking the temporary halt in production "personal" and refusing to buy Colt products, you are only doing what the gun grabbers would hope you would do. Just my opinion.

LaneC Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 I remember, years ago, when Coca Cola took the "original " Coke off the market for a new formula. Wasn't long before there was an OUTCRY to return to the original formula of Coke! Now, I doubt that Colt had this in mind, but I bet there will be a steady interest in getting Colt to re-enter the AR-15 market. And in the mean time, Colts will steadily increase in value like all the "pre-ban" rifles did in the 90's. It's more of a psychological thing than a physical thing. "I want what I cannot have" syndrome. I sold a couple of Colt AR's years ago but kept my Trusty Rusty BushMaster. And, to replace the AR's I sold I bought a Sig 556 with the AK style gas piston. I actually like that better than an original Colt AR-15. But, that's just me. And, wasn't Colt planning on moving some of their manufacturing out of CT and into TEXAS? I'm not aware that ever happened. Maybe so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettBaker Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) LaneC, the "Expanse" line of Colt ARs were made in Texas. Edit: Also, the Colt Competition stuff was made in Texas.
