Colt Defense to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection by Monday

[Flankenstein]

Can we get a thread merge please?

That problem ended about 1.5 years ago and continues to improve.





Never happen (to much coin). Colt pretty much already has a buyer as it stands right now.

Thanks for the insights. I truly hope the brand regains their former success through positive management and company leadership.




Take Care,

I didn't state it, but don't think that didn't cross my mind.

Colt's management could learn A LOT from Paul.

Any company can learn a lot from BCM.

Provide a high quality product at a fair price, back it up with outstanding customer service and support, and refuse to cut corners or sell sub-par product.

It can really be summed up in one word:

INTEGRITY!




Take Care,

It REALLY IS that simple.

Colt as we see it now and in the past is the gold standard for some platforms. That doesn't mean that improvements can't be made, or issues for that matter. Colt now has a rare opportunity to improve in a direction that has been better recently than years before. That direction could come around to improve many things and come out better, but it may do otherwise. It is outside the scope of our discussions as to what way they will go, it isn't up to us.

Gold standard? when 15 years ago?

They Should have followed Leupold and realized they were no longer relevant from an offering stand point and got innovating.

For a known, quality fighting gun, they are still the gold standard (especially for what they sell for now). The truth is, that during any kind of Panic buying (election years, mass shootings, etc), Colt AR's bring a much higher premium than any other AR manufacturer. During Sandy Hook, it was normal to see LE6920's sell for $3k! That means that the general consumer believes they are the standard.

If things go as planned, Colt will have capital to put into R&D (something they haven't had in a long time) which should in turn produce some interesting things.

Spot On.

And getting a barrel nut that was installed Barely past Hand-Tight is not exactly confidence Inspiring... not the greatest QC in the world. And upper to lower fit that is just plain embarrassing....

And 16" CLGS? No thanks... not when there is: KAC/Noveske/DD/BCM/Sionics etc
