In some sense I think that will be a good thing. CZ understands how to build a quality product and also the firearms industry. Sad to see an American icon owned by foreign interests but it won't be the first time we've watched this happen. Hopefully this means Colt will return to some semblance of profitability, which means Colt will continue to exist.
This might be a good thing as it gets them out of Connecticut (hoping any way) and maybe out of the Union control.
Colt can be a great company again, if they can move to a location or State with better operating conditions.
The Czechs have a long and well deserved reputation of making excellent firearms. In fact, they are pretty good at a lot of mechanical engineering and manufacturing.
The problems would be Colt's location in a labor union state and Colt's crushing debt.
They may just want the plant to use it as a final assembly point to circumvent tariffs. If you manufacture a certain amount of the gun in the U.S.A., it is no longer an import. Or they may want the Colt name but not the current Colt products. Too early to say.
Dan Wesson 1911 pistols are made in the US and not from imported parts. I would expect the same for Colt.
I would guess they are moving out of CT and to a more friendly state, both gun wise and tax wise.

Didn't CZ buy some land and begin building a manufacturing facility in the US a year or so ago? Might be Arkansas.

CZ does make quality firearms and was smart enough to move out of Norwich, NY. Sad to see such American icons as Colt and Winchester to be foreign owned, but it is probably better than what happened to Marlin, NEF/H&R and Remington. After all, the Miroku Winchester’s are pretty well made guns( especially compared to Remlins).
Tell them to buy and move to central Texas, Giddings, Fayetteville, Fayette County area. Heart of the Czech country of Texas. Gun friendly, business friendly State. LOL.
One of my father's favorite statements: "If I say a chicken dips snuff, look under his wing for the snuffbox" How I was raised, who I am.
CZ has two American plants, one in ST Louis rimfire rifles mostly with Dan Wesson, the other the Alabama plant not sure what they are or are going to make. The deal with Dan Wesson has been a good one, my DW CCO is heads above a comparable Colt and much better quality control from the old days.CZ has allowed DW to design their own guns CZ provides DW employees to be managed by CZ,solid management has meant good things for DW. I have confidence a gun company can run a gun company better than an Investment Group, SEE: Remington and Marlin.
Remington 541S and T model .22s are now selling online for around $700-800. Every time I shoot my CZ452 I wonder why Remington or Winchester couldn't have built a comparable rifle that sold for a reasonable price. CZ has apparently sold many thousands of quality .22 rifles, so it's not a niche or boutique market.
HEY!!!! My Harley is doing just fine!!!! 12 years old and runs just fine. Set of tires and now a new drive belt are the only things its needed!!
I think a CZ Colt would be a fine weapon as long as they move out of the Northeast
Love to see CZ buy Colt and build a plant in MT but I don't see a move to MT happening. What ever it takes to keep companies from going overseas and keep our people working.
However,you can have your Harleys. I'm just getting my 1993 BMW broke in at 93,000 miles. I put a clutch cable on it last year but it should be good for another 200,000 before major work.
Keep the discussion on topic not motorcycles please.

Not sure how this ended up with motorcycles but since Colt is a defense contractor wouldn't the Government have to ok the deal?
