Fellas, I recertified my Colt armorers cert in August. They instructor was a senior Colt rep....he assured us that Colt isn't out of the civilian sale business, they simply are catching up on their government contracts for a few months....why are we believing a left leaning article spewing such nonsense? .....cause it's fun to panic buy, that's why..
The original source of Colt suspending civilian rifle sales for a while was not a press release...Colt only sent notices to distributors and they leaked it. I think it was leaked likely to create a demand as they wanted to sell inventory that has been sitting due to slow sales. The Colt press release was after the fact...probably an effort to blunt criticism when it was simply a business decision to catch up with existing contracts. The press release was a bit too lawyerly and didn't help...they should have simply said it in plain language.
