For the much more complete story and interesting reading if you read fast Truth about Guns links to a 1498 ppg. Court document Case No. 20-81688-CRJ11 with more filings available from the court's sites and presumably Lexis/Nexis and such.
I expect Ruger to operate/fold in Marlin and Bushmaster to continue or be folded into Franklin Armory. Barnes should be a useful addition to a Sierra that faces increasing competition from Berger. If Storm Lake continues in operation as in the past I will buy some threaded barrels - currently I have an order in with Barsto but that's a you can only pick good can't have fast OR cheap of the other two - granted none better for quality and helpfulness.
Most buyers seem to be speculators and not to be gun people. I expect there was some arbitrage betting on whether Harris will be issuing executive orders next year and value goes to zero or Trump continues and value goes with quality of product.
