Per Yahoo news: Colt firearms has announced they will stop making the AR-15 for the civilian market.
Say it an't so!

This only affects women, since men don't shoot anything smaller than 6.5mm.

I'm sure that Colt's decision had nothing to do with the current climate we're in lol.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Colt had a history of playing games over the years when a person could buy a full auto Colt 's policy was to never sell to that business that sold one to a citizen. Then they played games with their takedown pin sizes and sear blocking lowers. I'm sure that was a good business move but you could fix both issues with a class III stamp.

almost identical stories 229 about ten years ago a guy traded one in to a local gun shop that a friend of mine works at and he knew i was looking for an ar,he didnt want it and called me about it,had like two mags ran through it, match target 2,gun shop wanted 1500 for it and i offered 800,they asked why i offered that and i said i know thats what they gave for it,via my buddy that works there,they sold it to me for that.and i bought a 300 scope for it(full price) cause they gave me the deal on the gun,i too always wanted a colt.we are all friends at this shop so it was a friendly deal,then my buddy said he had some colt mags somewhere and was gonna look for them,he came to my shop acouple days later and said he only found 1,i asked what he wanted for it and being the only one he had he didnt really want to sell it,but instead he handed it to me saying its yours no cost,good friends are golden.will never part with that gun

I consider myself a Colt collector (mainly double action revolvers, however) and have been keeping up with this. I don’t think they wussed out. This was simply a supply and demand thing. Timing looks kinda bad, but I think it’s just a coincidence. They left the door open to renter the civilian market also. I think it was a smart decision- they’ll do well to focus (at least on the civilian side) more on their return to the revolver world as they have been fairly successful in that space lately.
