I'd like to see Colt cut prices a little or offer a rebate vs. these trinkets.

I'd like to see them stop whoring out their name under licensing agreements that mislead the consumer.

Agreed. But I think it's too late for Colt.

POW!

[Stone]

Overheard at the range "Is that a Colt"? "Well, kind of"....

[Sancho Panza]

Agreed. But I think it's too late for Colt.

Not really; Colt Competition is Tango Uniform.

[UWone77]

Overheard at the range "Is that a Colt"? "Well, kind of"....

Yeah no kidding. How many years has Colt tried to peddle the Competition Series as Colts? Now they're offering free optics I wouldn't even put on an Airsoft gun.

[Sancho Panza]

& a mag I wouldn't put in my magwell...

A free $8 PMAG.... if you're on the fence, I'm sure that pushed you over.

[Sancho Panza]

$7

[fledge]

And they will probably charge you shipping for the swag.

[Sancho Panza]

NO Charge for Shipping.

[fledge]

NO Charge for Shipping.

The amount of money Colt spends on this rebate, labor, items, and shipping, they would save cost and sell more with a $100 rebate. Apparently their marketing department came from Gander Mountain and the pre-internet world of catalog sales.

[Sancho Panza]

True, dat.

Yup.

These crap optics and bags they're offering won't entice anyone. If someone is looking for a true budget rifle, they will buy any number of cheaper options in the market and pocket the difference. A rebate would have helped, a revamped line would be better.

[gatordev]

Yup.

A rebate would have helped, a revamped line would be better.

Whatever happened to their mid-length offering? Did it ever come to be, or is it still vaporware?

I haven't heard anything.

I haven't heard anything.

Anything that you can say....

[DISCOM]

Is/was the Colt in question LE6960-CCU ?

[BoilerUp]

Cabela's will still sell you one. I sent Cabela's a note several months ago about their misleading description for the Colt Competition. To their credit, at least now they say that the rifle is built by "Colt Competition"

[Thompson]

The fact that I can buy an SP1 for LESS than their repro M16A1 is stupid as hell.

Maybe Freedom Group will buy them one day and fix all of their problems...

[Joelski]

Fixed that for ya. [;)]
