Could we buy Colt?

[Danus ex]

Fun hypothetical question--could THR members pitch in and buy Colt? Of all the firearms makers, Colt seems to have gone the farthest astray, and I can list all sorts of guns they should be making (Woodsman, Python, Detective Spe...I'll stop). Granted, they're doing reasonably well, but Colt could do much better.

Anyone with financial aptitude know how much each THR member would have to pitch in?

 

[Standing Wolf]

Hey. Wait. Stop. Hold on, eh?

You can't buy Colt unless you can come up with $87.39.

 

[mbs357]

I'd buy it for a dollar.

 

[cslinger]

Yeah because of course all of us could agree on the directions to take the company. We agree all the time.

 

[Danus ex]

$87.39?

That's big money! We're already sunk!

 

[mbs357]

We agree all the time.

...No we don't...

$87.39

Maybe I could get one of them title loans on my truck. They give you free money and let you keep your vehicle.

 

[AirForceShooter]

if they had hired me in 1977 none of this would have happened.

Yes we do.

I used to run a small manufacturing company so I get to be President. I see big 1911 discounts in my future.

 

[ctdonath]

I'll pitch in, at least to ensure my on-order M4LE arrives this year.

 

[JohnBT]

I heard they aren't selling to the public.

 

[stevelyn]

Gotta agree to boot the unions first.

If all 28,000 of us on THR pitched in some cash, we'd get pretty far I think. At least a majority share Count me in for $100!

If we buy it can we change the ' I hate civies' policy?

Hell no...we are going to run it with an iron fist and treat our customers like stupid sheep. We will under produce, over price and market poorly. We will drive the cost of each item up so high due to poor marketing skills and management that each firearm will cost a fortune. Then we will convince people that they must be worth it or they wouldn't cost so much and if they question that logic we'll raise prices again. Come to think of it...sounds like we won't change anything.

If I remember correctly, the last time it was sold it went for $100,000,000. That was 10 or so years ago.

After Winchester, Colt is next.

I'm in for $89.00 but I need to be in charge of their Revolver Division: Single Action Army Production Department!
