Colt Canada pulling out of commercial - non-military market

[THEKINGDOM]

Hi guys,

So it seems that Colt Canada is pulling out of the consumer/commercial/civilian market and restructuring for military only sales.
Colt parts availability was also said to likely be limited in about 3 years


Anybody else heard the same?
Thoughts?

Well there’s a good chance they’ve been advised what guns you’ll be able to possess soon...... getting ahead of the ball Id say.

Bushmaster, DPMS, Tapco, Flir, and Colt now all dead to us civvies.

This thought crossed my mind also. I wonder how a regulatory ban would affect existing AR-15 owners. Of course that's another topic entirely. But I don't imagine a sweep could be a reality, likely enforcing prevention of further sales or transfers. Hope this isn't the reason..

Can you elaborate?
Has the same been rumored about those companies as well?

Not rumours, seems true.

I suspect the elimination of Bushmaster, DPMS and Tapco was due to the ongoing lawsuit against Remington for the Sandy Hook school massacre.

I'm not surprised, really. I was surprised when they opened their doors to civvie shooters in the first place.

Some of the rumour I am hearing is the possible designation of AR uppers as prohib devices... So they ban both. I have no more knowledge than the next guy, but something that was bandied about.

I’m starting to wonder how many members here are being paid to continue the spread of unfounded rumors and speculation.

Interesting how some will even point out that their rumour is a rumour yet still go ahead and spread it.

You people are worse than the gun shop mouth breather rumour mill.

Op has 9 posts and no evidence, this can be dismissed quite easily and should be.

I made a quick google search just now. I found no results for Colt Canada getting out of civilian market so mea culpa. I was still surprised when they got into the civvie market though.
