There is NO WAY they can put out a higher quality firearm at a competitive price. Colt is bogged down in union wages and oncoming union scale pensions. Their overhead is too high a percentage of their earning potential. They pissed on the American consumer for years, relying on government contracts. When they lost the last contract their finances crumbled and American consumers turned to other firearms. Without government contracts Colt is a dead company. Read the forums, the basic take is F*ck Colt. The Native Americans will get contracts by who they are, not by a better product. Hell, it might pay to dump money on their stock until a week after they sign the first contract. Then sell the stock and buy some Springfield guns.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
