Re: Iconic gunmaker Colt is on the brink of bankruptcy

I'm going to be removing the offending fire-control parts and replacing the long plastic trigger with a John Harrison medium-length trigger.
Hey, no talk about dying. I'm 67.
I had a Colt Commander, enjoyed carrying it, playing with it, and upgrading most all the parts. Sill, I never could shoot it even close to accurately. Spent a lot of time and money on it trying to fix it, unfortunately It was me, not the gun.
Happy when I traded it off, some things are just not meant to be.

Re: Iconic gunmaker Colt is on the brink of bankruptcy

Gotta wonder how this can be. Too much borrowing over the years ? Executives bleeding all the cash flow ?
