Why is Colt being such a dip now that the Clinton Gun Ban is gone?

When the United States Military starts buying the new M-8 rifle from Heckler and Koch around 2005 they are really going to need some more revenue.

The XM8 has been downgraded - it won't be a replacement rifle, just an experimental rifle - at least for the time being.

Colt has a reputation for being less than friendly towards the general gun buying public. It's like they just don't care that much about what regular gun buyers think.
