The issue goes back to 1994. You can read that article to get an idea of what went on with Olympic and the ban of cheap steel core ammo.

My first AR I got is an Olympic and I am quite happy with it. I recently visited their website and was thinking of purchasing a different upper. After seeing the prices I decided to just purchase a Ruger 556 as I could get a complete firearm for less. Kinda tells the story- saturated market with cheaper options. I agree it's too bad for the employees and there's probably more to come. Who was it I heard was going to start making an AR, Savage??----- boy that's a mistake, last guy to the game usually loses his butt.

Springfield Armory's "Saint" is the last major manufacturer to get in the AR game. Kinda late though.

I believe the Savage came out after the Saint.
