Er, yea, they're still open, and I personally will take one of their rifles over Bushmaster, mainly because if I ever need to worry about the warrenty, I can take the five minute drive to their location from my house to drop it off rather then mail it haha, well I actually doubt they'd let me, but if they would, I could.
I also like how in my annoying state of CT, mine came standard with a YHM compensator attached to the end of the barrel so it looks a bit better IMO.
Not sure if the shops I've been in lately have even HAD an Bushmasters, but they have had Stags around.
