Rooster2412 Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Are these uppers Cage Code marked or are these the newer Square Forge or Cerro Forge marked only ? You realize Cage Code marked parts are NOT GENUINE/AUTHENTIC Colt parts. These are VENDOR MANUFACTURED with Colt's Cage Code markings. Just wanted to get the record straight, Vendor manufactured then shipped to Colt for final assembly and put into a Colt Box. No C marking anywhere on these parts, barrel, receiver, bolt or bolt carrier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney's Distributors Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Colt's Manufacturing Co. is outsourcing manufacturing of primary componets including bolts and barrels. Colt’s allegedly discontinued second-shift operations of bolts and bolt carriers and laid off about 54 workers in October 2016, according to the unions. A further 74 union employees were fired in February 2018. Hartford Business reports that Colt’s have gone from 506 employees in October 2016, down to just 288 in March 2018. Inside Colt’s Factory: technician Sergio Pereira adds a completed Colt rifle to a rack of newly assembled guns at the company headquarters in West Hartford. (MICHAEL McANDREWS / Hartford Courant) An embattled Colt’s has been struggling for a number of years, most recently emerging from bankruptcy two years ago with a $10 million state loan to ensure that jobs are maintained in Hartford. This loan was used to purchase its current factory space and head office in West Hartford. The Hartford Courant reports that the terms of the loan stipulate that Colt’s must maintain an average of 615 jobs for 60 consecutive months ending 31 December, 2021 under the terms or it could face a penalty of $16,259 per job. Time to buy is now because the 60 consecutive months ending 31 December, 2021 will be here quickly and Colt's future is unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
