MAB,
I am curious as to the stance Colt holds that you object to. I have been quietly boycotting several companies for things they have done (or not done) for quite some time now. Levi's, Sara Lee, and Citgo are but a few corporations whose products I refuse to buy. I know Colt capitulated during the first Bush administration by making design changes to their weapons years ago, while Bushmaster and others did not. Would that be part of it? I am a firm believer in holding companies responsible for their decisions, and not buying their stuff is one small step we can all take to make the point.
As for the money and quality, I collect things I enjoy having. I have a bring-back Chicom copy of the Russian TT33, dated 1966, that is not a quality piece, BUT I enjoy holding it in my hands, knowing it's history.
