Czech gunmaker bets on riding Colt into new markets

For Czech gun maker CZG-Ceska Zbrojovka Group, its recent acquisition of the Colt brand carries both the potential to become a major player in the global firearms market and the challenge of reviving the fortunes of a fabled U.S. name. Shares of CZG, which listed on the stock market last...

I hope it works out well. My fear is that instead of bolstering Colt, it will drag down CZ. Yes, I'm a pessimist.

I agree. I'm hopeful that they can make it work. It would be nice to see them do a short run of a CZ branded AR in the same way that they did a CZ 1911

Looking forward to seeing the hybrid offerings that will be built in the old Colt factories. Yes, a CZ AR would be an instant success if the quality is there.

Can you imagine the possibilities???

just imagine a 9mm double stack Cz 75 frame…with a 1911 style slide and barrel!!!

that would be awesome!!!

Sign me up for some Colt's with good slide/frame fit and the DW style beavertail.

CZ has announced: 1. It will remain in CT, 2. It will keep Colt management instead of firing them (into the sun).

Given how Colt became ZIL and then became Rock River I am less than optimistic.

I only hope and pray that this acquisition of Colt by CZ works out. Colt should revive all its "old" revolvers in a "classic series" a la S&W and bring them back at reasonable prices. I still think $1500 to $2000 for a new Python is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous! New AR's from CZ from Colt would be an instant success at reasonable prices. I wish this new merger of giants the very best. Really I do!!!

Management was Huge part of the demise

Will see how long the original management sticks around. They may be in place now but that doesn't mean they will be a year or two from now.

I'm very optimistic.

About firing Colt management into the sun? Pleasesayyespleasesayyespleasesayyes . . . .

Maybe, but if were OIC of Colt, the first project would be making a MHS compliant pistol. No more 1911s or bringing back another revolver to screw up. Let's get competitive again!

1. MHS pistol.

2. Knowing that we are no longer ZIL or a subsidiary of the DoD, begin production of the IC/M5 as COTS.

3. Pour money into R&D

4. Leave CT.

5. Fire Colt management, then re-hire them to fire them again, keeping firing them so there is no misunderstanding that they are fired.

Yup.
