From a distributor: "Big news is making the rounds concerning DDI and their acquisition by JJE Capital, which is the parent holding company for Palmetto State Armory. I’m gonna try to break this down simply.
1. DDI is not ceasing operations at all. Production is moving from Knoxville to Columbia, SC currently. This mean no guns are expected to be built till Mid-Feb, so existing stock is what is available right now.
2. Increased market exposure for 2017, DDI will have new resources to market their firearms. I’d expect to see ads for DDI popping up on any site that PSA advertises on.
3. New Models, they are expected to release a new AK model and an AR platform at Shot Show, I’ll pass more info along once I get it.
4. Import guns will be transitioned to a new company in the coming months, however JJE/DDI will honor all warranties for previous guns. "
