    Actually, Colt did just tell it to their distributors. One of the distributors leaked it and people pestered Colt on social media. Colt made a statement after it was leaked.

    Yeah. Brownell’s offered the CCU upper last May. With their sale discount code, I got mine for $449. Before that, got a Colt M4 upper from Brownell’s for $220.

    Bought a Colt ambi safety from G and R for $40 and used a spare Colt BCG bingo, a complete CCU for less than $900. I bought a factory 6960 in 2017 for $1180.

    I really like the CCU. Two of my best shooting ARs. One of Colt’s best. Too bad they don’t bring it back.

    Yes, I’m a Colt fanboy but after 106 responses to the original post, it is always amusing the hate and discontent the mention of Colt brings out. So much drama. If you don’t want one, done buy one - for whatever reason floats your boat.

    It seemed they were trying to survive. But hey, at least they didn’t pull a Bill Ruger.

    I had wished I bought a CCU upper or rifle when they were available. I was struggling with some medical stuff and unable to. Oh well. Hopefully it comes back.

    I've always wanted a Colt for no other reason than to have the OG rifle. Damn it, there goes at least another $1000 I should have put in savings.

But we have to finally start biting back because we need to put an end to this crap. Universities, major companies, etc. do need to have the communism flushed out or burned out of them. We shouldn't still be dealing with the current problems. 2012 should have been the last of it.

    To me, a gun company not being 100% pro gun and out loud pro gun owner, especially in its own home state that needs it the most, is unforgivable.
    Savy, or slimy.
    Ditto that. Very well said.

    My issue with Colt is a NIB unfired 6920 that’s out of spec and has to be sent in for warranty work.

    NOT. HAPPY.

    ”This is the future. And it's dystopian. The new economy. Circus and bread. Short term stimulation and arousal. Then back to delivering for Amazon.

    The serfs will support the 2% who post their perfect lives on Facebook, share vacation photos on Instagram, and vlog on YouTube.

    98% will plod away delivering for UberEats and live vicariously through 2% on social media.”
