The Colt 2000 was made from parts produced by an outside vendor and assembled in the company's West Hartford facility. Despite the innovations and bearing the Colt name, the pistol was plagued with reports of inaccuracy and unreliability, and suffered from the poor publicity of having to be recalled in 1993 due to a safety recall.

Colt followed this up in 1992 with the Colt All American 2000, which was unlike any other handgun Colt had produced before—being a polymer-framed, rotating-barrel, 9×19mm handgun with a magazine capacity of 15 rounds. It was designed by Reed Knight, with parts manufactured by outside vendors and assembled by Colt; its execution was disastrous.
By using various upper assemblies, buttstocks, and pistol grips, the weapon could be configured as an assault rifle, a carbine, a submachine gun, an open-bolt squad automatic weapon, a belt-fed light machine gun, or a survival rifle. There was a second belt-fed machine gun developed under the CAR-15 program called the CMG-1, CMG-2, and CMG-3 in ...
Colt's great contribution was the use of interchangeable parts. Knowing that some gun parts were made by machine, he envisioned all the parts of every Colt gun to be interchangeable and made by machine, to be assembled later by hand. His goal was an assembly line. [18] This is shown in an 1836 letter that Colt wrote to his father in which he said:
Typically, many rifles use thread diameters in the range between 25–27 mm (0.98–1.06 in). [citation needed] Many older rifles from the first half of the 20th century use a thread pitch around 2 mm (12.7 TPI), while many modern rifle use thread pitches around 1.5 mm (16.93 TPI). Fine threaded systems intended for hand tightening typically ...
The Close Quarter Battle Receiver (CQBR) [5] is a replacement upper receiver for the M4A1 carbine developed by the US Navy.. The CQBR features a 10.3 in (262 mm) length barrel (similar to the Colt Commando short-barreled M16 variants of the past) which makes the weapon significantly more compact, thus making it easier to use in, and around, vehicles and in tight, confined spaces.
