I think you don't see much colt anymore because they were matched by other manufacturers in quality but they never dropped their prices. I had an acquaintance with a side hobby/job of putting together rifles for people who wanted to source their own parts and make 'frankenstein' ar rifle platforms. I can't remember exactly now (it's been over a decade), but a high quality gun would cost you a little over a grand, and colts would start at one-and-a-half grand. Cheap ones were as low as $300 or $400.
That's just ridiculous for most people buying a gun. The choice is often dictated by pricing, and the name didn't do enough to counter the price for the people who would care about names, and the quality wasn't better than cheaper guns for the people who cared about quality. Colt just willed itself off into the sunset.
Haha true story! Yeah I've built my AR from the ground up, and customized several "historic" models, but using alt brands. Some manufacturers from Turkiye like Tisas make a fine 1911, and Girsan make amazing Beretta 92 clones! Often many parts kits are interchangeable for certain designs which is what I love. Its like modding a car, but cheaper (usually) and while I could drop several hundred on ammo alone going to the range, it's FAR cheaper than brakes and tires minimum after a day at the track!
