CT is the AR15 subcontract capital of the world,followed my Ill & WA
BTW most of Colts parts are or were all subcontracted out to small shops & all Cold did was assemble them!
Enjoy your Colt with the oversized fire control pins, large pin that holds the sear block in your reciever or that great PC name Match Target
Knockoffs? No Just companies giving the shooters & collectors what they wanted! As accurate of a firearm as the original without all the offset/oversize pins,Blocks of protruding sear block steel, missing Raised mag fence,missing push pins.
We should thank Colt! If they gave a dam about the civilian customer, we woulda had a reciever with the pony on it identical to the miltary counterpart minus the FA ability & there would not have benn great companies such as Eagle Arms (Armalite)Rock River,Olympic, & countless other companies who have stepped foward & given us what we wanted!
Colt has lost vision of the customer, If they had a clue they could put everyone else out of business! The name still holds some value but not that much!
Hagel!
You are dismissed!
