Why dont they make laws like that?In Wa. there should be a law that says the state cannot hire co. based in other states to contract,The U.S Gov. should have laws that say the same for them.
You must first be honest with yourself,Until then your just lying to everyone.

Colt lost their m4 and M16 contracts to FNH. FNH builds them in South Carolina along with the M2 m240 and m249.
they are in big trouble when they restructure if they cant come up a new design that is commercially successful or secure military contracts. the 1911 market has lots of options. they are lots of AR manufactures plus people are building their own rifles. the 1873 single action market has lots of competition from Italian manufactures and the ruger vaquero.

They withdrew from the civilian market for awhile, then came back to it, split the company into two parts, then were merging them back together. Their demise was brought about by incompetent management, declining quality and super high prices. I think they're probably going away forever because they don't have anything of value.
