Here is a link of an article I put together after a friend of mine and I toured the current Colt factory.

Excellent, thanks a lot.

I concur. Excellent.
Here's to hoping the Rampant Pony stays alive and healthy; albeit small, with a basis of quality and craftsmanship.

Thank you for your effort in making the trip, writing the article and thank all at Colt.

Hate to see machines sitting idly by tho'. Pity that.

I got to go on a tour there as well. The M-16 line was humming. I was in candy land. Even got to shoot a happy switch down in thier tunnel range. Didnt get to look at the pistol line too much but I did get to go into the custom shop and check out a guy working on a pair of Colts for Robert Duval. The intricate designs were amazing. Those guys are true artists.

Wow, can you just walk up to the Corp. office and get a tour?

Was there an entrance or tour fee?

Thanks yall I do appreciate the kind words.
It is kind of tough to get a tour but I have made friends with Mark Roberts over the past year and he was able to get me permission to tour the plant. I am hoping to go back sometime soon.
