Colt Halts Production of Long Guns for the Retail Market
https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/co...retail-market/
The long, difficult saga of Colt?s Manufacturing has taken another turn. Firearms distributor RSR Group has sent an email blast to their retail customers announcing that Colt will no longer produce long guns for the retail market.

How is this news? Any company that is incapable of evolving their business or products to match the customer base or market is destined to fail. Colt chose a business model that assumed they could ride the .gov tit forever. They got slapped off the tit and now they are screwed because they didn't plan for it.
Not that I disagree with your assessment of Colt's management, but I believe they are suspending retail sales because they're having a hard time keeping up with their gov contract fulfillment. Seems to me they didn't over-tool up during the big panics like others did. That combined with all the new entries making AR's and they're kinda right that there's excess manufacturing capacity - except at Colt of course.Originally Posted by CHA-LEE

Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
Colt management could F up a perfect business plan.

I'm convinced that Colt management could lose money with a Chick-Fil-A franchise.
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
