    When was the last time that info was updated?

    I have been a S&W LE Dealer for two years and I am STILL not on their website: https://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/...ll=1&loc=44656


    I am not saying that you are wrong, but what you are stating contradicts what I have been told.

    Got a source for that?

    Nope, just thought I would make it up.


    Yes, of course I do.


    Edited to add, my info is several months old. A lot can happen in that time frame so maybe he is back on as an LE Dealer. Who knows in the gun business.

    Thank God for progress

    As for re-barreling an AR15, like anything else, you get better at it the more you do it

    What an intelligent comment that is relevant to the discussion.

    Here is the deal.

    I have ordered $400 worth of stuff from SAW in the past 2 months and all of it has has been current production stuff by the tool marks and other manufacturing features on the parts.

    So if they have been removed as a Colt dealer I would like to hear evidence that supports this instead of a bunch of hearsay IM backdoor bullshit.

    Instead of all the bullshit speculating about whether Ken is or isn't a dealer, let's focus on the original issue. If he doesn't wish to reveal what he does that is his prerogative. If you don't want to drop the coin on it, then by all means don't.

    Ken could be going direct, getting parts from another LE dealer or has a "buddy" at Colt. Either way, I could care less.
    G&R & SAW do business together from time to time and I have no issues with Ken.

    I was simply advising folks what I was told by a high Colt employee.

    What I find interesting is that Colt cut one of their biggest fans (or is telling people they have) and someone that has also made Colt look good.

    contractual restrictions and limitations aside,
    S.A.W. is good to go in my experience.
    they are among the top few on my list.

    i concur with scott's assessment of recent stock.

    and i am not telling what goes into my reliability package either.
    i shouldn't have to.
    the proof will be the absence of any malfunctions.

    a squared away rifle gives more satisfaction than a bit of money
    or information for that matter.

    wrt what grant has said:
    as far as colt goes, i wouldn't put anything past them, they are a corporate group.

    Agreed. I think what goes into the package can be deduced but as you already know experience trumps even the best intentioned engineering deductions.

    Thanks for the service!
