So in essence the rifle is being made in Canada.
Thought Colt was in bankruptcy ? I can foresee another one of those military boondoggles where the cost far exceeds what was originally quoted.

I may be wrong but I believe it was Colt that was in bankruptcy while Colt Canada is almost held as a seperate entity that can be sold off.

Much like if Remington went for bankruptcy they could sell off Marlin to raise cash.

I may be playing the left right out field on this one though...
