  1. Why are pre-Civil War soldiers carrying Henry 1860 lever action rifles? If it takes you five to ten minutes to reload a muzzle loading rifle, then you are either incredibly spastic or lack any hands.

  2. Not anymore. CZ just bought them for $222 million. Colt has long been its own worst enemy, thanks to poor management, unions, and anti-gun state and local politics. Let's see if CZ fixes this problem by relocating the company to a more cost-effective and pro-gun state and uses the latest technology and design innovations. If CZ thinks all they have to do is replace upper management and continue making outdated and overpriced guns, they too will fail.

  3.  @Majistr  In what way? From I've read lately, CZ may be having buyer's remorse because they kept the old Colt management team in place.

  4. Good catch. Why is every soldier carrying an 1860 Henry lever action rifle, including the ones from the 1847 Mexican-American War? More Hollywood history, sigh.
