Colt to resume civilian sales

[PracticalRifleman]

I'm glad to hear it, it's not the first time they have stopped and re-started selling.

I need to pick up 2 carbines (one for my son who is about to PCS to Italy, and one for my youngest son to have as his own) perhaps one or both will be Colt.

My goal is to buy both my sons a Colt before the year is up.

F’ um ...I’m still a Colt fan, but abandoning civilian sales pissed me off.

Bailed when the heat was on and back in time for the election panic buy. Savvy.

Yes. Cancel culture. Surely the way to move forward.....or not.

It's an interesting point. We can't just have companies like Dick's and NASCAR publicly spit in our face without consequences. Yet on the other hand it seems like to complete the task is basically nuking the whole world because it seems like there's hardly a square foot of soil not infested with the vermin, so then there's not much left. 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.

Nike lost 800 MILLION DOLLARS trying to placate the Left CANCEL CULTURE....Tell me how it doesnt work again? It absolutely DOES WORK if your goal is to create allies who will go to the mat for you!

Was that from direct sales or simply lack of ad revenue and what not from sports tanking?

They will of course blame it on Covid but have you tried to buy a set of weights in the last 6 months? People are working out more than ever! There is little doubt that Nike has "taken one for the Woke Team" ....

I don’t know about Nike but Colt couldn’t give away ARs. They cut back their production and fired a lot of union labor.

After years of struggle bus, they got a few new contracts.

They could either call back union labor to continue to build guns to sit in gun shops and collect dust or they could repurpose those lines for contract fulfillment. They chose the latter and said in the beginning, when market conditions change or the contracts were fulfilled, they would return to civilian sales.

It wasn’t a “we hate the second amendment” play, it was a “you idiots keep buying $350 PSAs and we won’t drop quality to compete.” Colt 6920s were literally $700 and collecting dust 18 months ago.

Didn't Target lose a ton of money from customers protesting a few years ago?

I'll be honest, I'd want to grab a few 6920s for the prices they dropped to for a while. If I could grab them in the $700 range, I would. It's no free-floated, master grade, space shuttle door gunner's item, but at half the price of those builds(often minimum) they are great.
