Quoted:
Was talking with my Ellett Bros rep the other day and he mentioned that after August 1st, I will no longer be able to order Colts unless I have a full stocking dealer lineup on my displays, then +1 of everything in backstock. Reading some stories on Colt's site and some other forums that were published back around May. Not finding anything current with my google-fu. Can anyone confirm or deny this Colt ordering issue? This is correct. Colt also filed bankruptcy just a few months ago. |

Appreciate the reply |

The point is the product line is diverse, and may not be what dealers need or can sell. I know my local Volvo car dealer would go out of business if they also had to stock Heavy Equipment. |

Ridiculous. They're sinking, yet they want to restrict who can sell any of their product.
This sort of bad business sense is WHY they are sinking. |

These new stripped Colt AR actions - everything but the handguards & the stock - are they shipping as pistols?
