What happened to American gunmakers was American buyers.
Americans will buy any kind of sorry ass crap now. It ain't about quality anymore it's about a price point.

This ^^^^^^^^^^ And yes, $600 is a price point. When you think about what these good guns everyone laments cost 60 years ago in actual wages and buying power it was more than a week’s pay for most working men. Today, a lot of us think we should be able to get a terrific rifle for half a week’s pay or less. It doesn’t work that way. That said, these cheap guns we’re buying today tend to be a lot better than the cheap guns of 60 years ago.
