They have survived on govt. contracts for years because they can sell at the inflated prices that they demand to a wasteful defense department that can afford the extra expense!! According to Chris at Small Arms Solutions, during the time that Colt had the sole-source contract for M4s in the early 2000s they were charging the government full retail for each one... about $1000 a pop. No wonder the government couldn't wait to award the newer contracts to Remington and FN once the sole-source contract had expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
