There are better buys in ARs out there anyway...So long Colt...

I think that was kind of their point. The AR market is saturated, and decent-quality ARs can generally be had for not much more than the cost of the parts right now. Colt's name doesn't command a markup in the AR market like it can for 1911s and SAAs, so expanding production to meet the civilian market isn't going to be profitable for them.

Unlike the last time, this sounds like purely a business decision, not a political one.
