Hold on to them Colts

[Personofinterest]

From FOX News
The venerable gun manufacturer Colt is suspending production of the popular and controversial AR-15 and other long rifles for civilian use, as lawmakers continue the fraught gun debate following a series of mass shootings.

The Lugenpresse is spinning it as if Colt's decision was prompted by the mass shootings; that is fake news.

Keep posting this. Hopefully it will generate a rush on at-15’s and I can sell a couple

well as much as I respect Colt for what they were, what they are is a far cry from those days of glory. Now if the 1911 market becomes to "flooded" then I guess Springfield it is.....
BLUF: This is a "Who cares?" moment for most of us.

Actually I do hope people get stupid and want them since they can't have them anymore. I'd gladly flip mine for two from Rock River or Sig.

When it’s time to hold them, it’s time to sell them!

According to this article at FOX News, Colt is focusing on LEO and military needs. I kind of take it that those entities are enough to keep Colt busy, so they will suspend production. Hopefully, it is a temporary suspension.

Colt Suspending Production of AR-15's for Civilians

While I might like to have a Colt, mostly for historical reasons, there are too many other good ones out there.

In the words of Kenny Rogers "know when to hold them, know when to fold them." Im still kicking myself for selling a python 7 years ago.

I bought a Colt AR-15 back in the 90's, worse shooting AR-15 I ever shot. And it had the lower block and over size pin. They only have a name in my opinion.

They only have a name in my opinion.

They've been trying to bank on their name alone for decades with declining success.
I always found it interesting that so many people believe Colt created the AR15 and the 1911. When was the last time Colt actually invented something, 1873?
