Colt

Maybe Colt managers are chickshite sellouts folding to George Soros' minions and betraying lovers of freedom and liberty that don't currently wear a uniform.

Maybe Colt has a crapton of orders to fill equipping some allies with M16s, and sales of over-priced but high cache ARs are flat.

I dunno.

The timing was odd for getting out of the civilian market for a time, either way, but maybe that might not have been helped.

And maybe option #3.  Colt is making bad management decision.  I mean when HASN'T Colt been making bad management decisions?  In my lifetime, sure.

Option D:  All of the above.

Goin with D?  Goin with D.   What I don't know is the weight of the A, B, C.
