Today I noticed there was no rifle advertisement on the Les Baer website, called them up to confirm and yes no further manufacturing of rifles or parts. All previous manufactured rifles will be covered for warranty or repair.

Are those 3 or 5 shot groups? Can’t tell if you missed the target 6 or 10 times...
Think how much better the groups would have been if you had sights or an optic on that thing. ?
When we spoke to them 3 weeks ago they stated they were going to focus
on pistols.. the rifle business has became crowded and difficult to sell rifles
that were at their price point.
They had a 204 and 308 remaining in stock at that time.
If I remember, a lot of Les Baer rifles were long barreled, straight contour and designed for NRA High power and XTC competitions. It's a pretty niche market, there, and so I'm not surprised that they weren't finding it profitable.
It'd be interesting to see what the average length of an AR15/10 barrel has been for those sold each of these past years. But with the proliferation of pistol braces, I would bet that the average has gotten shorter and shorter every year.
Les Baer are quality, but not a lot of people are in the market for the types of shooting they have been optimized for.
I agree 100%. The gun industry had record breaking sales for the 8 yrs. Obama was in office.More like, the average ar15 buyer doesn't know what he doesn't know and is going for the cheapest rifle that fits the criteria of "is an ar15." That's the market that Les Baer doesn't play in. And, when the panick subsides, the new ar15 owners realize they either don't like them or are over leveraged and flood the secondary market with cheap rifles, further depressing the market. After Sandyhook, they said you couldn't not make money building ar15s. Trump's done so much winning he's killed the gun market.
No doubt, they buy the cheapest stuff they can find(except for the rail, they'll spend $400 on a rail or 200 on a charge handle) then complain they don't shoot worth a crap.More like, the average ar15 buyer doesn't know what he doesn't know and is going for the cheapest rifle that fits the criteria of "is an ar15."

I have a NRA national match with the 30" bbl. Are the prices up or down on these guns in the current climate. Anyone know?
