Colt being sold is a rumor. Bushmaster being sold is not a rumor.

Well I guess its not a rumor. Just talked to a friend that works there and, well, I am a dumbass. There was a rumor a little ways back that they were going to be sold and leave Maine, well the rumor was part true but they aint leaving Maine so at least the jobs will stay here. This will teach me to post before I know the facts.

Those who work at a company are generally told nothing about an pending sale of assets. Most companies will hide a pending bankruptcy also until it is filed. [NOT saying that BM had any financial problems] |

IU have heard that colt was being sold the GD as well, but I dont know a thing about that side of the business. I find it strange your dealer had those Colts for what seems to me to be GREAT prices. Is it is shop that does a lot of AR business? I can tell you Colts dont last a week where I work, and we pay a lot more than that for the ones we can get.

Funny, Colt must be in better financial condition then Bushie. Makes me wonder what is up. Did they grow to fast, offer to many products, or was an offer made because of their profitability? Or did the owner just get out because of retirement?
I certainly hope that the new owners treat it well and don't run it into the ground as some of the past owners of Colt did. |

Gun shop I go to(the people that make Williams fire sights) has a wall of various AR15 makers but most of them are Bushy and that is what they sell the most of. The mananger told me he was just waiting on the word to go ahead and raise their prices because he had heard Colt was being sold too. He said they has ordered 6721's and Colt sent them them three 6520's. He said he does not know when they will receive any more Colts.
