I was told by a sales rep that DPMS is dropping all the A1 type sight hardware.
We saw them clearance out the A2 and C7 uppers last year.

Thats the insidious nature of AR parts
. Its an ever changing evolving thing. If its avail now.. at an awesome price..and if theres 'any' reason it might be gone tomorrow(in this case, perceived obsolescence)..its prolly a good idea to snag it (just in case) while you can. The obv problem in that, is a person can "just in case" themselves right into the poor house, in no time.
And if its not the parts..then its also ammo that can be this way. And so it goes.
I think most of us here already feel, that these will be looked back upon as the "good ol days" of AR (I paid $475 for my SP1way back in 1978) /AR parts concerning both prices and availability. Just 3 yrs ago, prices were 3-4+ times what they are now. And key components just plain ol weren't avail.
I think anything A1-ish will soon be much harder to find. At least outside of specialty shops like Nodak.
