800Mtrs, actually Colt is an Industry Partner and helps support AR15.com. I don't know that your post is illegal but I doubt it's very helpful to the site.

I heard that Colt has recently file for Chapter 7. Is that ture? If the company gets split up, who will pay the top dollar for the name at the auction?

If my post crossed a line I appologize, I did see that they were an industry partner before I posted. Maybe I should have posted the wording a little different as I am CERTAINLY NOT bashing the company at all, I happen to think they are incredible firearms and really do not have a negative thing to say about them, and this was not a negative post, I was just inquiring as to if Colt was asking companies (such as ARFCOM for compensation for using any of their info, names, etc) Sorry if it came across too harshly.

I heard it had something to do with Single Action Army pistols made by another company.
I forget the name of the company, but they had a write-up in the NRA mag a few months ago. |

Quoted: .........I was just inquiring as to if Colt was asking companies (such as ARFCOM for compensation for using any of their info, names, etc) Ah...compensation for the use of intellectual property - I don't know about Colt but I damn sure would require compensation. (I'm no fan of Colt but bidness is bidness !!) |

Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company Colt Firearms Company Colt Industries; firearms subsidiary: Colt's Inc., Firearms Division Colt's Manufacturing Company, Inc edited to add: and besides, the patent rights ran out on the 'AR-15' long ago... compensation for what? |

The very idea that any non-profane comments or opinions should not be posted on a forum simply because a sponsor is not endorsed or viewed from a given point of view violates the very principle of having a forum in the first place. Should we then only post comments that are "biased" towards Colt? I enjoy this Forum immensely because of the fact that I can read other opinions on firearms, uncensored. If individuals cannot post their honest opinions because of manufacturer bias, then this board is completely useless. This is the principle upon which our great nation was founded. Let the Forum remain free, or rename it "Pravda.com" |

Don't get me started on Colt. I am in the process of sending in my M4 upper for the 2nd time. The first time it had a VERY shallow/non-existant cutout for the charging handle latch. They covered it (or course) and got it back to me quickly. Took it out of the box, and they re-machined the cutout, but didn't follow the "shadow" of the first one. Now the upper is hideous and they are going to be shut down next week [banghead]. I will let you know how it all turns out, but so far it is VERY frustrating. I work in a machine shop, and would like to think I would notice tooling THAT dull. And if I didn't, and a product got out that was machined with dull tooling, I KNOW FOR A FACT I would NEVER do the 1/2 assed job they did.

Colt is nothing but a name. I cant believe people still think their stuff is better than anyone elses.
Pound fer pound. I have heard complaints about quality from owners of every single different manufacturer. Probably more about Colt. Some Colt issues are not even considered a problem like all the large hole, small hole, sear block bullcrap. Personaly, I will always buy GM, never FORD. Go figure. Heeeeeerrrrreeeee....horsey horsey horsey.... |

Colt does own the actual TradeMark (registered) for "AR-15" and probably other variants. Its up to them to persue potential infringments.
AR-15.com re-directs to WilsonCombat.com AR15.com is an actual company (LLC) with many domain names, such as weaponsforum.com, jobrelatedstuff.com, etc. |

Then hang around for a time and I'll really make you unhappy. I think you know the point I was making. Pravda, in the Soviet era, would not publish anything not approved by the supreme Soviet. Yes, it means "the Truth" but it represented censorship in the extreme during that era. Similarly, by suggesting that saying anything bad about Colt on this forum was inappropriate to 800mtrs, you were repressing his opinion. In any case I do not believe the staff of this forum would censor any member for simply stating his opinion on a product, so long as there was no obscenity and it was not falsely injurious to someone. You will not make me unhappy by expressing your opinions or views, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. It's not personal to me, that's just the way I see it. |
