I may be very wrong but I assume that their engineers still need something to do while their production lines are swamped with other work at the moment. I do understand your feelings though and I kinda feel the same but I try to look at the big picture and keep my fingers crossed that it's a good sign, that introduction of new stuff might mean that they foresee getting caught up on the other stuff that's had them covered up for a long time now. It's hard for me not to sympathize with them, having Russia breathing down their necks for this long while. If their new stuff is like the old, it'll be worth the wait in the long run. The scary part is how dependent we all are on other countries to produce the kind of quality that we used to lead the world in making. If anything, it may have brought us new options, like Peterson, ADG and Alpha. If the quality is equal to or better than Lapua, I'll always buy American but so far, I've not see it to be as good. Not sure why, though.
