At Shot 2012, they brought out my gun (2 years later). :rolleyes:

That figures!
RE COLT: This sounds like a if ain't broke, don't fix it mentality. What they don't understand is the market share they are missing by sticking with carbines only. On the other hand, resources would be diverted from current production. If they are at max production and selling everything then can possibly make, it doesn't make economic sense to divert resources and invest in retooling.
