Good grief my eyes, mind, etc is going. I read it as the NFL Colts. *sigh*
If someone would start making Colt Pythons again they could make a fortune.
I know he's being facetious but Colt relied on their military contract and stopped paying attention to civilians. This fact is evident by their truly abysmal customer service. I sent one Commander back so many times that I finally took a dremel to it myself. And they honestly weren't concerned that their quality control and customer service sucked.
They've got some learning to do now.
Well if anything good comes of this, hopefully there will be some surplus weapons going for cheap.
Not unlike the Bushmaster AR in 5.56 I scored for $599.
ROFL!!!!
Marxists always expose themselves ... seldom that quickly, though.
Anyone who relies on government for their bread must become corrupted or dependent.
That's not true. Most liberals and Dombocrats in particular want all gun makers out of business and all guns confiscated from all Americans the way the Brits did a few years ago.
How long before Norinco buys Colt?
So, what happens to the market value of Colt firearms now?
On the other hand, Colt's was making almost nothing anybody wanted. They also had awful reseller business demands and allowed their previous executive staff loot the treasury.
The hammer was part of a package of spare parts. The contractor simply averaged the cost per item for the package, rather than itemizing them individually. Thus began the myth of a $400 hammer.
The item was not a toilet seat, but a large plastic shroud to cover the toilet on a Navy anti-submarine airplane, to keep the contents from splashing out when the airplane maneuvered. The Navy tried manufacturing the item in-house, and found it would cost more than to have it manufactured by a contractor. The contract price was indeed $600, and it was a comparative bargain. But the truth doesn't make for a good narrative.
