..statement from its president and CEO Dennis Veilleux, “the market for modern sporting rifles has experienced significant excess manufacturing capacity. Given this level of manufacturing capacity, we believe there is adequate supply for modern sporting rifles for the foreseeable future.”

~~~SNIP~~~

The company re-entered quickly and has subsequently shipped more than 2,000 Colt LE6920S to commercial firearms retailers to meet some of the demand. Samuel Colt, who was always far more of a businessman than actual gun designer, is likely looking down and smiling!

Yet AR's are still scarce and premium priced in many markets.

What caused the company to change its mind?

Could it be the biggest rise in gun sales in history?

People quit buying Colt overall because the company went “Woke”

They pissed on and off their market. This is essentially bringing back old Coke when New Coke flopped.

Being a Resident in the State of Connecticut I couldn’t by a Colt made AR-15 if I wanted to.

The weapons that your allowed to by here have to be designed such that there value as a defensive weapon would be very much worthless.

Since Colt didn’t fight to stop the Connecticut Assault weapons ban I wouldn’t by a Colt weapon of the State allowed them to be sold again.

With violent things occurring today Connecticut is going to leave its law abiding Residents Defenseless.

Will these be the ones with a 100 clip magazine, an underbarrel chupacabra launcher and a shoulder thing that goes up?

Try buying a Mossberg 590 A1.

I can’t find one anywhere.

I got a very old pump 20 that I’ve owned for years. I’m all set on rifles, pistols and revolvers. Just looking for my ultimate home defense shotgun....

The big question is: How much? I might buy one for grandma and give it to her for Christmas.

I bought a good match barrel from Surplus Ammo a few years back. They had good deals on rifles, too, but they didn’t ship very fast (okay with me). Haven’t looked this time, yet, and don’t know whether or not they have much ammo.

Surplus Ammo (was Surplus Ammo & Arms)

“Flash Sale” (from spam received only once in a great while, which is okay with me, too)

Colt Manufacturing Company has begun to sell its popular AR-15 modern sporting rifle to civilians again...

The return of the 'Poverty Pony' (as some collectors phrase it ;^)...

Only problem is, you’ll wait nine months for delivery...

Lucky I already have mine.

Hopefully they allow these *new* AR15’s to use NATO 5.56 in addition to standard .223.
