FN rains on Colt's parade

Post by grumpyMSG »

Colt may be in some serious trouble, business wise anyway, their home state beating on them on one side and and the competition beating on the other:

It seems the first time around the royalty portion of the contract with Remington caused Colt to protest. Under the contract protest rules everybody gets to see everybody else's numbers. Colt protested a second time, FN got it right and won this go around. Colt must be feeling it now. They have been relying on military sales for a long time. Maybe they will have find some new customers...
You just have to ask yourself, is he telling you the truth based on knowledge and experience or spreading internet myths?

FNH makes some damn fine weapons, glad to see the change up myself!

Now... if they would just get away from 223 and the AR platform, they may actually have a GOOD combat weapon! :whistle:
