Colt has a well-deserved reputation for making a superior product. They also deserve their bad reputation for poor civilian customer service.

Their corporate philosophy is sound: sustainable profitability.

Unfortunately, they also recognize that they could maintain corporate profitability even if civilian firearm ownership ceases to exist. Hence, civilian customer service is, and has always been, very poor.

And what proof do you have to support this besides hearsay?

Hearsay determines people's opinions. Therefore, when the general consensus of the shooting community is that Colt's CS is poor, most of us dont need proof. If 20 people tell me that brand x has bad CS, I wont buy brand x. I find it almost disgusting that you defend, insult, and grab at straws here.

Very well thought out post and very true!

Just wondering...

Does anyone else think with Colt stamping
"For Law Enforcement and Military Use Only" on the side of every AR they sell to the public that this is a "clue" to Colt's attitude toward civilian sales?

Or is it just me?

What kind of proof do you need? If Clark Howard said Colt's CS sux would that constitute proof? Or do we need a statement from Colt to that effect? Personally, if someone makes clear through their attitude that they don't want my business, I commodiate them.
