If you read the letter, the suspension on production of the listed products is for the remainder of 2013. Hopefully that will hold true.
Sounds like they are so swamped they decided to keep the presses running on the most popular stuff, and try to at least meet that market.
Just think about it. Nowadays with so many AR15, AR10, and semiauto 22s, the typical shooter probably expends a lot more ammo than back in the days of mainly bolt action repeaters.
The gun control issues aside, I think the semiauto has really upped our ammo consumption rate and the plants just can't keep up with it all.
