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.
