They have been making overpriced versions of the same guns they've been making for ages. I can get cheaper and better m4s and 1911s that are American made. As I understand this it was to be able to manufacture more of their guns in the USA.
On July 13, 1998, Philly.com reported that Stewart was “[advocating] a comprehensive federal firearms law, including the creation of a federal gun permit. And he [wanted] gun owners to be licensed, tested and subjected to mandatory safety training.” Again, this was the CEO of Colt saying these things–not a Democrat politician, not President Bill Clinton, not the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. And Stewart was not shy about defending his gun control push when gun owners cried foul and called for boycotts of Colt Manufacturing. But in defending himself, Stewart only made things worse for himself and the company.
Was it CZ? CZ make good guns. Also have a USA branch.
Yes. Finally Colt will have some QC. CZ is one of the top 3 gun manufacturers in the world.

During most of my time on active duty I was assigned an M16 of one variant or another. All were made by Colt, sad to see this happen.
Colt signed it's own downfall when they promoted gun control in the 90s
You're absolutely right. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2015/06/17/colt-manufacturing-led-charge-for-gun-control-in-1990s-now-bankrupt/
