They say their focus will be on full auto weapons for the military and that the civilian market is saturated. I think that translates to they price them too high and many others are available for less. Nothing to do with politics. Winchester stopped making the 94 for similar reasons.

I can't blame them. Those government checks always cash. https://thedefensepost.com/2019/09/20/colt-contract-m4-m4a1-13-countries/

Since the people are buying the cheaper versions and not the more expensive Colts, then it makes economic sense they quit making them.

Other companies tooled up specifically for AR's and they couldn't compete. Pretty much the whole story. Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.
