Colt Canada rifles to the public?

[The Joe-Man]

Oh FFS, if they don't offer the green furniture as an option they are on drugs...

I agree completely. Even if they can't offer it in Average Canadian Green for licensing reasons they should be able to do an OD or foliage green.

So now that the cat's out of the bag...

$2k. Yea? Nay?

FYI at KAC we are no longer using Colt Canada barrels. Too long lead times and we have a FM forge in house.

 

[Mark-II]

2 grand? Above my pay grade for a nothing-fancy rifle, sadly.

 

[twincamharley]

Just another AR............ don't need or want

I say yea. Not crazy expensive but not your run-of-the-mill AR price either. I know a large number of people on CGN think the sun rises and sets out of DD rifles so I'm sure they will be along shortly to state "NAY" because you can get a DD for $600 less. But for what they are, I think CC has priced these right.
Would I like these to be priced at DD prices? Of course I would. I'd also like a toilet made out of solid gold but it's just not in the cards now is it?

That price point means I will never own one of these rifles. Didn't Colt say these were marketed toward Military and LEO who want the same rifle for their civilian life? They must make a hell of a lot more than I thought they did.

That was just marketing-speak for, "Members of the press, don't worry about us selling evil black guns to civilians, it'll be mostly military and LEO sales."

Nay.

Look at what come out from down south for far less than $2100.
Most people agree that Colt is no longer "IT". Far too many companies have surpassed them in quality and performance....for less.

Some will pay for the name...kinda like designer jeans.

Great they are available, but I would Not waste my $2100 on a plain standard rifle.

 

[LeeEnfieldNo.4_mk1]

Litter Higher then I would have liked, might still pick one up, not sure yet.

 

[Canadian Sig]

Not a chance. That too mucho bux for what it is.

 

[wicked_police]

No IUR so I'm not interested.

 

[Travis Bickle]

No way. At $2K + it's way too steep for this guy.
You can build your own AR exactly the way you want it from scratch for way way less.

I'm a fan of the bare bones, classic AR15's. I like these, they are simple and look pretty sharp.
I get the whole "Colt brand" thing, but not for this guy and not for that price though.
Still very happy with my Franken-A1 clone

 

[Jabotinsky]

They look very nice and I am sure they are very well made. The price point seems fair? It is a shame they are restricted as that could hamper sales.

 

[SA85M1]

A Canadian made rifle Diemaco marked..what's not to like?...I want one...I carried a C7..but I do like the C8.....decisions decisions. ..damn..

 

[Rebel Rouser]

I still have a couple lowers left.

 

[Mauser GDog]

Did I miss something here, when are where was the price announced?

 

[Arnie's Guns]

$2300 for the carbine and $2100 for the rifle. We have a couple on order, but I feel they are priced way to high for them to sell lots of them.

 

[GuiltySpark]

Does someone have a link to the official price?

See above. Plus One Shot and SFRC both have them listed on their respective websites for the same price as above.
