Their, not there............

Bailey Guns, you may not be familiar with the "Tier 1" term as I don't think you spend much time at the mall. You likely know "Mil Spec", a term used by the US Military. :)

Colt's are "Mil Spec", Tier 1 guns are chosen by Facebook user groups. ( I hope all you Tier 1 guys take this in the humorous way it's intended).

It's hard to argue that Colt hasn't been mis-managed the past 20-30 years, but there was a time they were a quality company. It makes me sad to think about where they are vs. where they could be. My oldest Colt military gun was shipped in 1862, my most recent is a M45a1 shipped to the Marines just a few years ago. The M45a1 was returned to Colt because it did not function properly. Good for me the Colt collector, but certainly a poor statement on the quality of some Colt firearms these days.

As a side note some are claiming the story that Colt will not sell AR15's to consumers again isn't true. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I bring you live to the scene where our reporter is saying that the prices of colts on armslist have doubled overnight....

You mean like from 1994 to 2004 when all Colt AR's were marked for Military/Government,LE or Export use only. But they were still sold to the public?

Have you noticed that most of the used Colt AR's being sold are listed as RARE?

Nothing an 80% lower and laser engraver couldn't make even more rare. Especially with a misspelled word in the mix. Like for lewd enforcement only.
