I think he hit the nail on the head on the price point as well with the other manufacturers and the changes in their pricing.
When you get down to it, if the tooling is already there, there is not a whole lot more materials that go into a AR10 platform to justify double and more the price of an AR15 at the POS.
Free market. If you have a competitor that is undercutting you with a product that works, you have to adjust accordingly or loose. Evidently the PSA PA10 line is working (I am still in the "stay away from the PTAC line" crowd) or we'd be hearing about it by now. Just after market triggers that don't play well that they are addressing rather than saying you are SOL.
Between PSA and DPMS Gen II, they might force the market to conform to a single pattern. In about 4 years the market for assembling your own reliable and functional AR pattern .308 from parts should be as prolific as the AR15.
