| Was talking with my Ellett Bros rep the other day and he mentioned that after August 1st, I will no longer be able to order Colts unless I have a full stocking dealer lineup on my displays, then +1 of everything in backstock. Reading some stories on Colt's site and some other forums that were published back around May. Not finding anything current with my google-fu. Can anyone confirm or deny this Colt ordering issue? |

Then you have to stock those stupid black rifles in order to sell SAA's. 
The point is the product line is diverse, and may not be what dealers need or can sell. I know my local Volvo car dealer would go out of business if they also had to stock Heavy Equipment. |
