The generals think their market is DoD and only DoD.
Big PIPing and new M4A1s for the warehouse.
Colt must get these two contracts done. They are not even in the 6.8 game and the Israelis have all they need/want.

Isn't that the same site that churns out meme-tier firearms articles written by a developmentally disabled AI?
Supposedly Colt has a 120 day of rifles already made and is going to use the manufacturing capacity freed up for things that are actually selling, like revolvers.
However Colt has stopped selling to the civilian market before and their pre-bankruptcy management was all about .mil contracts above all, so either way it shakes out I'm not surprised.

Anyway hopefully this means I can sell my 6920 to some cloner for $2,500 next year.

Paul Spitale, Colt’s senior vice president for commercial business [stated] ...market for modern sporting rifles has seen a significant decline in demand, leading to some of the lowest prices ever seen for new-in-box AR-15s...“We’ve seen a pretty sharp decline in rifle sales, given our price points... Colt’s manufacturing capacity for AR-style rifles is currently tied up in producing guns for outstanding contracts. ..Meanwhile, Colt is re-focusing its efforts on another segment of the market that has seen increased demand and continues to be a big driver for the company: handguns.
“We’re going to focus on the products that our consumers are asking for. We’ve expanded our 1911s and our revolver line, and that market has been very positive for us,” Spitale said.
