Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

Not to bitch at you. But, honestly, I don't think they'd find many buyers. There is a lot of TDP prints out there should one look around and there are plenty of good companies, BCM for example who have figured out the secret sauce of the TDP and are doing as good or better than Colt. BCM, Sionics, SOLGWS, LMT, DD, KAC, and others have a following for quality for a reason after all. if I was Paul at BCM and Colt came around offering to "sell" me their TDP I'd probably tell them to go **** themselves and counter offer to sell them my TDP since my guns are held to a higher tolerance. The companies who could benefits wouldn't give a **** anyway since Frank Fudd don't know the ****ing difference anyway.
That said. I would be very interested in seeing more done with the 901. That rifle interests me in many ways and I think could have a lot of promise.

Per BCM, I wish I had gotten their SAM-R upper when zi had a chance.
I have a spare Mk. 12 rail but I will keep that for a different project/rainy day.
This.
So much this.
You could get a 226, 220, 239, or a 228 and not think twice. Now...not so much. They inherited the former Kimber guy(or other way around?) and lost track with the mediocre 556, the multitude of gimmick guns, etc.
The MCX is interesting and I wish the Mk. 25 didnt have the anchor on it.
I also miss the SSG3000. They were selling them at Wal Mart next to the Remington fudd guns at close out prices, I had the money, could have easily gotten the proper Mcmillan stock, but foolishly passed on it.
I dont mind innovation, but it shouldnt come at the expense of consistency
You know, they could sub to Colt Canada, as far as I know they are still doing OK, import uppers and source lowers here.
Then you get into 922r and ITAR territory, not to mention whatever export restrictions Canada has... I'd love if I could get a genuine C8 URG for the GF's loaner iron to use while she's visiting, but I somehow don't see the pencil-pushing-pencildicks on either side of the border allowing it to happen.

I don't have the thread link handy, but I have read claims on here that Colt's overall quality package goes beyond the military M4 TDP. I don't have any independent knowledge of this. It may be that someone like BCM already has as good of a data package; but I don't know. Selling their whole TDP & trade secrets to someone, or licensing it, would ensure that builder X had the data to build as well as Colt. And I think anyone who has bought a new Colt, and a new rifle from some other top maker (BCM, LMT, DD) has seen the difference in cosmetics and not selling banged-up stuff as new. So to me it would be a win-win to know you have the entire secret sauce, along with a maker that realizes civilians buying $1k-3k rifles want something that isn't battle-worn (or lazy packing department-worn) as new.
I digress.
Colt already gets most of their parts from outside sources (vendors).
