Dang, how can a company not sell ANY RIFLES in a whole year and stay in business? I know that doesn't include parts but still, I can't imagine a company staying in business like that.

If your question is which of those numbers posted by the BATF are military/LE............ consider that Colt has produced nearly 20 times the total of all of that list combined for military use alone (Colt statistics quoted)..........so I would not be surprised if it were zero. The point being that since the list excludes military production - perhaps it excludes LE as well. Not sure if that was your question or not, but it is noteworthy. |

The list INCLUDES LEO and government agency (FBI, ATF, DOE, etc.) guns, but NOT *military contract* rifles. Those are handled separately. And, yes, Colt's production figures would be far larger if US military sales were included.

Bushy vs Colt is definitely something I was not expecting...
Although with all of Colt's problems I should not have been surprised |

It would be nice to see more recent numbers to determine RRA's standing post DEA contract, and how their popularity has affected ABCDO
Two dealers I shop at often dont buy bushy anymore because they dont sell as well or as fast as RRA, which is something I dont think anyone would have anticipated 2 years ago Everyone's numbers should be up since the ban is dead |

That's gotta' be a lot of 10-22's reflected in doc_Zox's post-no wonder there's ten bazillion people making accessories for that thing.
I always thought of ASA as a 'bigger' (not better, just bigger) player than those numbers reflect, too. Larry |

ASA sold a lot of PARTS, but not many complete rifles. -Troy |

How long will it be until 2005 data will be available? Hopefully, in 2006.

looks like there was also a spike in sales after sept 11th 2001 . .. . . look at 2002's sales. That's pretty neat stuff. thanks for gathering that data!

Not really. I would certainly agree that the demand-to-suppy ratio is high, but relatively few rifles are actually available to the civilian sector. Of those that are, most are actually LE sales and not civilian sales (though these numbers include all non-military sales). Keep in mind that there are only a handful of Colt LEO dealers who can even get these rifles (without letterhead). And beyond that, demand for Colt's civilian line is in the toilet, and that's where they traditionally made a lot of their numbers. Of course, Colt can hardly keep up with military orders, so they should be doing fine overall, and they've set up a program to sell rifles to security contractors (an area that Bushmaster has dominated for the last 3 years). But don't confuse that with civilian sales. -Troy |

From 2002 to 2003, RRA went from 2,362 up to 14,690. Thats quite an increase. Good for them.
