The only thing I’ve seen marked with Colt logo is rebranded Silver Bear zinc plated 62 grain FMJ 223 Remington ammo. Colt sold the marketing rights for this ammo so it can carry prancing horse. I think it is a marketing gimmick. I’ve never bought any just saw it for sale in local Rural King.

I figured it was GBW or Jageman, but GBW makes more sense. I'm just curious what the "Colt" connection was...

With their business issues colt has been doing some creative marketing. Didn't they license some ARs they didn't actually make to have a name deceptively similar to theirs not too long ago?

As for the colt marked brass, again marketing ploy with colt licensing naming agreement, and God only know what manufacturer is cranking out the brass to begin with. As for Colt, they did do another chapter 11 bankruptcy again in 2015, and with FN now producing most of the goverment stuff now they they did produce at one time (including the M-4 now), not sure how the goverment is/will bail them out again. Pretty good read, https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/071315/why-colt-went-out-business.asp |
