    Despite the number of companies "making AR's" very few make more than a couple of components in house. Most source them from a small group of manufacturers who can't keep up with demand.

    Makes sense. Being somewhat new to the AR I'm not as familiar with the parts sourcing. I expect then that by the time the contract orders are filled, there isn't too much left for the rest of the market and may not be for some time. Hard to believe the difference a few months makes, eh ?
