Suddenly, all these 'deals' on possibly blemished IURs....

I bought one at full price when they first came out, how do you think I feel?

They were originally sold as a super scarce item, never to be seen again. Oops....well, thats not quite true now is it? Now we mysteriously have a "cancelled" contract, or another overrun.
But this one's different. These are "blems", so getting blown out for alot less than us suckers who bought one at full price, thinking we'll never see these again. Wrong.

Thanks CC, for killing any resale value close to what I paid for it. Way to screw your own customers over; but what do they care, we are a small part of their income, right?

The koolaid is tasting bitter to me right now.

Who at Colt Canada did you give your money to?

I've heard this byching for quite some time for all sorts of people and I would like to know who at Colt Canada, did you buy these rifles/uppers/lowers, etc from?

Let's hear it from those of you who are crying the loudest.
 
1. Why doesn't Colt Canada sell us their awesome ####? Goddamnit.

2. Why is it sooo expensive? Goddamnit.

3. Why is it soo cheap? Goddamnit.

LOL, life is short, stop killing yourself over these things. Besides, you need to understand Colt Canada's main source of income probably is from government sales instead of public sales. Having said that, if they do have the excess capacity, maybe they'll realize that there is indeed a market for the C8 from private gun owners in Canada. Kind of like how LBT and Crye probably sell more chest rigs to paintballers and milsim guys than to the real "operators".
 
If I had to guess I'd say these ones at the blow out price we're taken out of the original production run due to cosmetic imperfections AKA "blemishes" CC being a business, seeing how popular the item is decides to blow out the blemished items because they know they will sell at the 35% discounted price like hot cakes.
 
Wish I had some extra money, would be nice to have the IUR to go with my SA20..... oh well.....
I think $599 is a great deal for a made in Canada Colt Canada upper and would have no problem "drinking the KoolAid" lol.

Well said.
We'll yearn for the time when Colt selling uppers for cheap was an issue, once Turdeau's Liberals decree whatever is up their sleeve regarding firearms.

I am tempted to get one, but the handguard is blocky compared to the one's I've been spoiled by amidst the KeyMod revolution.

It is not at all Colt Canada's fault that you over paid for a product. A fool and their money are soon parted. The feverish fanboy love affair with CC is what drove the debut price as high as it was. Some figured out it was too high and the prices magically came down. Then they came down again, and now they're down again.

No better reason to begin a family keepsake collection then for a brand spanking new family member. What could be more cherished then to remember the start of your precious child's new life then by procuring a rare piece of Canadian art, painstakingly toiled over and lovingly produced under the watchful eye of genuine Canadian craftsmen and craftswomen.

How every time you and your partner see the magical "Made in Canada" script lovingly presented on the fine piece of artwork, it will remind you both of the day your new baby entered the world; as your child too was "Made in Canada".

The memories created by you and your spouse each and every time a round is fired from this fine piece of functional art work, will not only allow you both to cherish the memories of the day your child arrived into this world, but each and every precious day shared since.


You must tell your better half 84wh1 that there can be no other greater calling of your family at this time, then to order your child's very own 15.7" slice of Canadian art before it's to late and your healthy and happy child has ben born without their very own keepsake to remember the beautiful day of their birth by.

At least that's how I'd play it out with my spouse if I were in your position, good luck and congratulations.;)

Cheers D
 
I love all the people hating on colt because they released an "IUR for too cheap"

I support colt canada and have chosen to voice that support with my wallet.
Can't wait for my IUR to arrive in the mail!

And remember kids! If you're going to get mad at CC don't forget to wear your tinfoil!
