How appropriate, Stu.  Considering this M&H saga we need something better to go wading through.

Bail out?  I don't think there was ever anything to bail out.  Money down a rat hole seems more proper.

Rat hole .... hmmmmm
Why, Del, perhaps we could organize a rat hunt!

Oh, and could I possibly get more noodles, please?

So does this mean the first of the new model M&H's will roll out around Christmas?





Dear Santee,  I've been really good this year.....................

Does anyone ever go to jail for this type of $#!+ in America?  Funny how some low life looser goes to jail over a few bucks but the guys in suits bilk millions/billions and it simply considered poor business practices!  What this country needs is a return to frontier justice, as metered out by the likes of Roy Bean or Judge Parker.  Amazing how much religion fokes get when the rope can be seen in the background!

[Abominable Bill]

Nope...    the guilty have more rights than the innocent nowadays

[Deadeye Don]

I think the only way either criminal charges could be brought or a civil suit wo is if the company had indicated they would refund earnest money if the gun was never delivered.  If all the people who lost money filed a class action suit and pooled their attorney fee money, they could certainly find an attorney willing to pursue this.  I doubt people would be that organized to do so and so they are all out in the cold on this one.  I just hope this thread remains open as a warning for future "investors".

No attorney would touch this for civil or class action status unless some substantial assets were available to recover.

NAAA, wasnt thinking lawyers, more along the lines of a tall barl and a short rope!  People still know the difference between right and wrong, but we have become enamoured with the shuck and jive while ignoring the personal responsibility for such actions.

Well we repeatedly warned any and all
over and over and over
many chose delusion and smoke over sense and paid the cost with their dollars
As promised, with all sadness, I am here to say:

"Told ya so. Saw it right off"

Paid for a Tucker Torpedo and all we got was luggage.   

Put 5 Marks a week into a fund and then after a while you can have a Volksvagon. 

Cool looking gun, when are you going to get a magazine? 

And here is your title to the George Washington bridge, now get up there and start charging tolls.

Guys, you 'do' know that for every post made about malfeasance and skullduggery - there are a handful of folks 'out there' who are thinking to themselves - 'But what if they're wrong?'...

Folks like those are looked at as lawful prey by the schemers, and if the advertising campaign's enticing enough - like it is with midnight radio preachers - these 'true believers' are reaching for their deposit money.

Sad - damned sad...

Vaya,

Scouts Out!

Look on the bright side;  I got to learn about the elusive CHUPACABRA!

I even got to see a picture of one 

Even if it was just a cartoon

[Thumper]

If any of you guys are interested, here's a real one I just refurbished and put up for auction.

I agree with you Pancho.  It is very unfortunate, but a great lesson for all of us.

Most times they are just the ones warning labels have saved from Darwin's Theory. 

[Slowhand Bob]

I really can not jump on this bandwagon with to much authority as I have 'been there and done thet' myownselfen afore!  I sent in a bunch of cah to CC on speculation thet he would later send me a new production shotgun.  Onlyest time I ever did that and it worked out BUT a bunch of pards down under got singed on a similar feal, or so I heard?

Their web site is down now.

Nobodys paying the up keep.

I think this is the way it works..

Those who know ?

[St. George]

Read all of the preceding posts, and you'll get the idea that this was nothing more than a scheme designed to not only fleece a prospective buyer - but give false hope to a town.

Sad...

C&WAS is a dying game - the introduction of new-production firearms to an extremely limited market is bad business, today.

Especially true when the prospective buyer/user is tied to the low-cost Ruger or Italian clone pricing of a Cabela's or other large retailer - the idea of spending 'Colt money' to shoot something odd and non-ergonomic to begin with isn't an option.
