Maybe Colt managers are chickshite sellouts folding to George Soros' minions and betraying lovers of freedom and liberty that don't currently wear a uniform.
Maybe Colt has a crapton of orders to fill equipping some allies with M16s, and sales of over-priced but high cache ARs are flat.
I dunno.
The timing was odd for getting out of the civilian market for a time, either way, but maybe that might not have been helped.
And maybe option #3. Colt is making bad management decision. I mean when HASN'T Colt been making bad management decisions? In my lifetime, sure.
Option D: All of the above.
Goin with D? Goin with D. What I don't know is the weight of the A, B, C.
They did this before when they were fat with Military contracts. Then FN won and I believe they filed for chapter 11 when they didn't have the civilian market to rely on.
ReplyDeleteColt has been making bad decisions for a very long time. They have zero in the way of advanced products. Their newest product is a sixty-year old rifle design.
ReplyDeleteHell, they're reputed to have lost money making guns during the Second World War.
