This is pretty misleading Colt is suspending production of civilian AR-15s because they need to fill orders for the military / police and they have tons of stock for civilians right now They are going to resume civilian production once they’re caught up with the other orders Seems like a load of horse shit. nationalinterest.org August 3, 2019 How Colt Lost Its Big Contract To Sell the US Army Rifles How could that have occurred? by Charlie Gao Belgium’s Fabrique Nationale (FN) and Colt have long been competitors on the American firearms market. For almost a century both companies have competed for military contracts, designers, and sales on the American civilian market. However, in the 2000s, FN dealt a blow that stung Colt: it won a contract to produce the M16 rifle and M4 carbine, designs that were almost inextricably linked to the Colt brand. The story of how FN regained a foothold in the American market in the 1980s and continues to remain a couple steps ahead of Colt to this day is one of clever corporate maneuvering and complacency on Colt’s part. Unfortunately for Colt, following its bankruptcy in 2015, it has not come close to even competing with FN globally.
