    FN scores M4/M4A1 contract

    From today's DoD contract announcements. Presumably Colt was one of the other five bidders?

    "FN America LLC, Columbia, South Carolina, was awarded a $119,216,309 firm-fixed-price contract for M4/M4A1 carbine. Bids were solicited via the internet with six received. Work locations and funding will be determined with each order, with an estimated completion date of Jan. 30, 2025. U.S. Army Contracting Command, New Jersey, is the contracting activity (W15QKN-20-D-0006)."

    So does that mean that Colt is out as far as U.S. military M4's is concerned?

    Maybe this is why Colt shut down civilian manufacturing to get out as many M4’s out to the government before they lost the contract?

    God Bless,

    Maybe they shoulda thought about that before pissing in their backup market's Cheerios at every opportunity... 1911s and six-shooters will only carry you so far.

    Hey, at $4k a pop thats $56,000,000. $56k for the mighty colt, could not even pay the old plant's light bill with that!

    I suspect Colt will make it up with sales other than to the US army. And if they don't the board will feel the pressure and start selling to civvies again.
