[QUOTE="GC7, post: 3870732, member: 2455"] Some of these legacy brands seem to only hang around because a lot of people are too nostalgic (aka misinformed) and would believe it was money well spent to buy their products. There's also the concept of being a "patriotic consumer" and buying a brand primarily because it is (or was) American owned, despite the quality being worse than the competition. Meanwhile a bunch of no names with creativity and milling talent are churning out a better product at less cost. I enjoy owning my Colt LE6920 and I know the parts on it are supposed to meet the technical design package of the M4, but companies like Aero Precision and Rainier Arms are miles ahead. A lot of these huge defense companies that get major tax dollars need to just go away if they can only get by with their wartime namesake and can't produce something similar to the small shops.
