They are reported to have reversed their decision to halt sales of the firearm they originally bought the rights to from Armalite, but which has subsequently been produced by nearly everyone at cut rates. Is there now enough demand they can profit? In reports, they are said to have released 2000 LE6920's to distributors.
I dared to go to a warehouse store yesterday and was stunned at the inventory. The wall where handguns hang was about 80% bare. There were revolvers and a few novelty type pistols. The carry/defensive ammo shelf was wiped entirely clean save for one box of .454 Casull and a single box of .41 Magnum. The shelves that normally hold Winchester and Starline brass, empty except a few bags of odd calibers. They had large rifle and LRM primers, but nothing else. I had come to get a pound of an Alliant powder that I only use a little of. They only had an 8 lb jug. Fortunately, they had not raised the price.
I remember when we had some murders around here a few years ago. People at that store were lined up to buy guns, but there were plenty to buy. I suppose the difference this time is not so much the increase in local demand, but the inability to restock due to demand across the entire market.
