Look for a change in list price shortly after the rebate ends... or a new model being released after the rebate so they can justify holding the list price up at the current level.
It's not an admission of anything. It's simply a sale. You sell more at less profit, but you sell and it actually makes more money. I just saw a sale on Sigs. Does that mean that metal guns aren't all that fnacy and quiet cheap to make?

Sales are low, firearms aren't moving, inventory sits. Rather make a little bit of profit than none at all.

Ammo is going down in price too. Because otherwise it sits at distributors. No one is panicking. No one is buy just to buy
