$220 Million seems awful high for Colt. Marlin and Remington went for a lot less. CZ seems to be a good company so maybe good things will happen for an icon American Gunmaker.

CZ paid for a name that USED TO BE a top name in the industry. It has been expensive, run-of-the-mill quality for quite a while. On the other hand, Remington was a top name and has lost almost all quality for a number of years. |

I don't really see the upside of owning Colt @ that price point. Colt has filed bankruptcy several times and seems to have a very limited presence with their products in gun stores (even before covid hit). I can't remember seeing a Colt revolver, or AR in a gun shop for years. I'll see a Colt .45 pistol once in a while, but not very often. Maybe CZ figures they can establish a larger presence in gun stores for Colt and get their sales up. I guess like all things, time will tell. |

Colt stopped civilian production of their AR some time ago. They concentrated on their government contracts instead. |

I'd heard that, but their website shows several AR15 rifles. www.colt.com/department/riflesPerhaps they are looking to get back into the civilian market? |

Not cheap though are they. Not sure which Colt my LEO SWAT grand-son-in-law owns. It is select fire. |

The longstanding issue with Colt, in particular to their AR line, I can build a perfectly reliable rifle that shoots MOA, for $500 (at least I used to be able to).
They failed to evolve to their diminishing name recognition.
