....that Colt was just bought by Beretta? I've heard the rumors that come and go but I just heard this one today from one of the major dealers in the area. If it's just a rumor I thought at least the rest of you would get a kick out of it.

RUMOR

Mark, Please set these rumors to rest.

Beretta probably bought Colt because their guns weren't working in the sand etc. of the Gulf wars. Guess they figured if they bought Colt they would have a good durable design!:D :biglaugh: :p

AZ you got too much time on your hands. :)

On a more serious note.It has been confirmed that Colt has been purchased by Para Ordnance, a Canadian manufacturer. This will be the first time ever one of us Canadians will get to see a newly manufactured Colt. On the downside, because the American Government passed the Norinco Act(1937),
Canada will not be able to ship any Colts to the States. On a brighter note,you guys can still import all the Para,s that you want.

This thread is starting to get a bit childish IMO. Time to pull the plug.
