Looks like Colt has laid off a bunch of folks and shut down their custom shop.

Trying to dig their way out of bankruptcy.

I have been to the factory working with the engineering team there. That company is strangled by their union workers. If it wasn't for the government contracts they would've been under years ago.

Man and I thought they were starting to get back in the saddle with some of the new stuff coming out of their custom shop.

that's a shame, glad I got my 1902 AND 1903 custom engraved Bisley's from the custom shop before hand!

With so many folks making ARs these days surely has to have had a big effect on their bottom line.
