(GunReports.com) — AAC is canceling all of its 10/22-SD orders, effective immediately, Nick Leghorn at The Truth about Guns blog reports.
Leghorn wrote, “The stated reason for the cancellation is that AAC is too backlogged with their ‘standard’ silencer orders for already established lines of cans (of which I just added one more order to their pile today, actually), but I think something else might be going on behind the scenes as well…”
The 1022-SD was an internally suppressed Takedown model. AAC had decided to buy 10/22s from Ruger (or a distributor), modify the rifles themselves and sell them rather than going through Ruger’s chain of command and offering them through Ruger’s catalog, Leghorn said.
But since AAC’s purchase by Freedom Group, the parent company has been slowly bringing them into the fold of the other portfolio companies like Remington and Marlin, which might explain the cancellation of the very cool suppressed rimfire rifles.
