Interesting this news was confirmed at the same time Colt confirmed it's considering a partnership with MST.

I think it's interesting the current downward pressure on the MST SP began 3 weeks ago (sudden drop from 0.7 to 0.5) when the US Defence FY2012 budget was being completed. Colt was probably in communication with MST a few weeks ago also.

I hope the current SP is for Duchess to get more shares (via equity line agreement), or just softening the market up, before a take over bid!
