I read that Colt has closed their custom shop and laid off its employees. NOT TRUE.
Note: Colt has not closed its custom shop or anything else. I erroneously posted that it had. I apologize for the careless mistake.

I read that some gentlemen named Brent got relieved of duty in customer service or the CCS. Didn't think the Custom Shop was closing.
They've been actively dispelling those rumors on FB.
Necropost........Heard in a Gun shop today...
So today I'm in "Freedom Firearms" in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It's exactly 2:10 pm when I hear... "Don't buy Colt.... they're a Chinese owned company... ". Twas an older man behind the counter talking to a man and a women... He was explaining the quality of handguns.
Say it isn't so....
Colt also has a 9 to 12 month wait on basic warranty work. Contacted them a few months back about horrible issues with a NIB series 70 reproduction and was quoted 9 to 12 month wait on basic warranty work
Thats a shame, but at least they are out of bankruptcy and seem to have learned a valuable lesson regarding the civilian market. I'm going to give them a year or so to see how they do now that the dust is settling.
