That woman deserves a better husband.
Maybe so, but you should have heard her. She was no gem, either.

Maybe this is all a ploy to boost numbers. Remember when Twinkies were going away?However, this recent news begs the question: when, if ever, will Colt resume commercial production of its rifles?
“It’s not forever,” Spitale said. “It’s to say that, at this moment, we’re listening to consumers and putting our resources where they’re most valued.”

Only the ones that get eaten. All others remain, awaiting their time of consumptionWhat? Twinkies went away?

Translation: Colt will virtue signal about not selling nasty ARs to civilians today, but they might quietly change their mind later if they think they can make a buck off the chumps they dis today.UPDATE: TTAG was able to speak directly with Paul Spitale, Senior Vice President of Colt’s commercial business line. He confirmed the above. Colt has halted production of its commercial long guns lines and is focusing its manufacturing and sales on 1911s and revolvers.
He also stressed that Colt has about 110 days of long gun inventory in its distribution network and if market conditions change down the road, they could revisit this decision.

I meant no I'll will toward your comment. I really enjoyed reading it.Well, my point was that Colt is a standard. Just like Glock is the standard for handguns now. We will measure new manufacturers by this standard.
I would also say that DPMS is a standard. While many people openly shit on DPMS in open forums, I would remind people that a DPMS shoots just as well as a Colt, in the right conditions, with the right operator...Well, my point was that Colt is a standard.

My brother got a DPMS 308 a few years ago, after 30+ rounds it stopped cycling. I inspected it an found the gas key screws backed out and one broke. DPMS wouldn't repair it.I would also say that DPMS is a standard.

Freedom group strikes again, I don't want anything that comes from them.
I wish we could find a standard which loved our money AND us... Big business is eating us up.I am with you. You do you. I have had DPMS rifles that didn't function. I get it. I'm just sharing my experience with Colt rifles. I'm not drawing battle lines, but am embracing that things are changing. Colt is turning its back on us. I'm saying that they were once the standard. We should all find an outlet that loves us and our money.
The error in QA wasn't as big of a deal as to how the mfg chose to not handle it. If they'd shipped a new carrier, they would have a repeat customer. Thankfully it was a relatively easy fix.If that happened to me I'd boycott DPMS too... But, so far, it hasn't.
I'm just saying that people shouldn't bet their lives on a weapon just because the MSRP is double the MSRP of a DPMS, or something similar.

I bought a NiB BCG, there was a bit much coating in the firing pin hole causing friction. Made a phone call, two days later a new bolt and pin were in the mailbox. I've purchased multiple WMD items since.
OK, you had me thinking, “Crap!” & 2nd guessing that I misspokeSo, I've got to ask... Is an AR15 a weapon of mass destruction? I've used some dangerous shit in my time, but I've never considered an AR15 a weapon of mass destruction. I've fired grenade projectiles, RPG's, mortars and so much other stuff, what makes the AR15 a weapon of mass destruction? Air support? That might be considered a weapon a mass destruction.
I have several that are considered Weapons of Mass Death and Destruction.So, I've got to ask... Is an AR15 a weapon of mass destruction?
As other CFF members will witness to I told two men to Please move away from my table at the last Murder Beach show. I asked them to move and make room for men who could buy without Anybody's consent. They ambled on down the row.told me he was talking to his wife and that is all she said he could spend.
They did...…….at length...……..a week ago.
I didn't know anyone bought Colt ARs anymore.
