I'm hearing that they are overstocked and are stopping civilian production to focus on military contracts. When stocks deplete they will ramp up production again.
Colt ARs might not be in much demand relative to their other products because there are so many other brands competing in the AR market space. I suspect product liability might play into their decision too.
Success breeds competition breeds ruination. Simple economics.

They are creating artificial scarcity to increase demand in a market they no longer control. Colt rifles are sitting on distribution shelves currently, in six months they won't be dusty any more.
Hey Joelt didn’t you have a muzzleloader for sale. If so did you sell it.
More fake news. At least according to former SEAL Carl Higbie's Tweet Yesterday:

This head line is BS. Just spoke to @ColtFirearms and they stopped production because they have over 100 days of inventory!!! #FakeNews they are also ramping up their revolvers and 1911s.
The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

I keep telling you people to stop listening to the MSM bullshit. What really amazes me is how people keep getting lied to over and over and still fall for the same old crap.

Why does Colt have so many firearms on the shelf? Cost. Colt ARs are priced too high ($1000+?). The cost for a Ruger is $520. The cost of a PSA is $449. You can buy a PSA stripped lower for $39 and a complete upper kit for $299. Spend less than an hour in assembly and you have an AR for $338 plus tax. They are basically all the same rifle with the same "mil-spec" so they are interchangeable.
Keep fighting the good fight Mergie. Post some more tweets if they don't figure it soon.
I read your post as Colt is equal to PSA/RUGER/PSA part kits, as quality is concerned.
