Last Friday I was in my local shop picking-up a nice used 2012 made Socom 6920. While I was there, they mentioned Colt was to suspend civilian sells (again) of AR's to fulfill some other contract. I was back in the shop today to verify that info. I guess the owner was told this by one of his distributors (Sports South, LLC). Someone else posted the same info on the other site.
Anyone else here about this?

UPDATE: TTAG was able to speak directly with Paul Spitale, Senior Vice President of Colt’s commercial business line. He confirmed the above. Colt has halted production of its commercial long guns lines and is focusing its manufacturing and sales on 1911s and revolvers.
He also stressed that Colt has about 110 days of long gun inventory in its distribution network and if market conditions change down the road, they could revisit this decision.
