Schiffhead,

I couldn't disagree with you more when you said/asked "isn't it better for Colt to acquire ownership of maul and associated patents. (from a bankrupt mst)"

Right now, Colt or anyone else, if they want MST, could have the whole lot for maybe $100m (Shares, notes and options).

If the company goes into administration, it could take years to get the tech out of the company and there may well be a bidding war. There are probably a few guys out there who would want the technology.

Bankruptcy/administration is a bad way to acquire technology assets, although they MAY be cheap, they "rot on the vine" while going through the process.

Do you think Colt would enter into a manufacturing agreement and "sell" the product if they wanted to push it into bankruptcy?
