At this price why not grab one and throw those spare hand guards and generic butt  stock on it and have for when the zombies come? Or (not) to flip during the next panic?

Colt?  No.  

For $670 you could get a nicer rifle, that wasn't built by the UAW.

Barely.  They were almost bankrupt last year, and the S&P just downgraded them to default status.  They are probably selling them without furniture because they owe the plastic molding company money.  

The company selling the rifles is probably legit.

This. They make it seem like a bare ass rifle is a selling point rather than no one wants to sell them furniture.

Colt has had (and to my knowledge, still has) several variations of their 6920 out in the past.  

This was targeted at people who wanted a Colt rifle, but didn't want to be spending money on stuff that would be thrown in a spare parts bin and forgotten about.

Your average Colt fanboy and/or person who only recognizes the Colt name doesn't know that, and they will still pay Colt premium for a rifle at the right time.

Needs a rear sight, handguards, stock, and trigger guard.  When you factor all that in, it's probably not that great a deal.

But that said, the people in the EE trying to sell their complete colt lowers for like $600 or more are out of the damn minds at this point.

They introduced two models at SHOT this year that were sans furniture.  This is one of the models.  The other comes with a low pro gas block, no delta ring, and no handguard cap.  While I don't doubt they are having financial troubles and those troubles may extend to their business relationships with vendors such as their polymer product suppliers, that isn't the case with these.  This is a normal production model.

Ditto.  Too many reloading projects (not to mention NFA stuff) going on.  

Somebody answer this one... Why is it that now that I'm older and have the money, I don't have the time; but when I was young and had plenty of free time, I didn't have the money?

I hope they don't default with Dremel, or they won't have low profile gas blocks anymore either.

What does a failed foray into the striker fired pistol market have to do with anything?
Does the Double Eagle mean their 1911's are shit?

I don't understand why Colt is so polarizing.  I admit some people greatly overestimate, conserving them to be the best AR's or 1911's out there, but they aren't garbage either.  If you take them for what they are, which is a solid middle of the road company in quality (I believe them to be equal to Springfield in 1911's, and equal to DD/BCM in AR's, unless you take in to account that if you go Colt are pretty much stuck with a Carbine) then I don't see how this is some horrible deal.

Now I will admit that most of the time your Colt 1911's will be more expensive than their Springfield counterparts, and like I said with a Colt AR, your only real options are what profile barrel do you want, but I don't see how they can be considered junk.

If you can find me a stock, trigger guard, rear sight and hanguard for under $130 then let me know where. Last I checked, ~$40 for Magpul MOE stock, ~$40 for Magpul handguard, ~$60 for rear sight, ~$10 for a non-A2 trigger guard. Factory in shipping from one or more places. The standard A2 parts seem to run the same price as the Magpul stuff if bought separately.

$30 for a quality stock (not sure how much for the factory colt, but probably closer to $40), $20 for the handguard (colt name probably more), $60 for the rear Magpul MBUS, $10 for a trigger guard, and a 30 round pmag for $15.  My math shows $135.

But hey, good luck on your $30.  It's doable in the used EE.  But then again, you might as well piece together a better rifle and not even bother with the Colt at all.

It is just Colt reaping what they've sewn. I'm a Colt fanboy but they're still dealing with the damage they did to their consumer base in the 80s and 90s. I know the new management is better but with all that debt over their head they would be better off to file bankruptcy and start over.

Their 1911s they've been making the last few years are some of the best they've ever produced. You can get a Colt government from grabagun for less than $700.and they aren't made in Brazil like Springfield's...
