I would like to know where you are acquiring your statistics. The only data I could find was from the ATF, and their document, released as of 01/07/2013, only addresses rifles manufactured in 2011 (see ATF Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Export Report 2011).
Of course, one could assume that quantity equals quality, but that is a big assumption that I am not willing to make. There is a reason DPMS and others sell at a particular price point, which, in turn, allows them to sell the quantity of rifles that they do. Additionally, one must factor in marketing and the perception that it builds among consumers. Again, quantity sold does not always equal high quality.
