Del-ton closing it's doors

I had a 16" mid length upper from Del Ton on a KE Arms lower back during Covid. I only ran maybe two mags through it but it seemed fine. Wound up trading it off mostly because the heavy profile barrel was noticeably front heavy pinned to the KE monolithic poly lower.
I've always assumed that chrome lining barrels had to be a cost prohibitive process for strictly commercial manufacturers.
Delton use to make parts for everyone, even some of the big names.
I have personally seen AR parts made and placed into the " appropriate " logo'd package....$50 price variance per label....same parts.

They weren't top tier, but they weren't junk. Way back in the day I had a few uppers from them. All were built well and shot incredibly well for the dollar.
What did I miss about SCCY? The last I heard they were doing some strategic downsizing but I haven't heard any recent updates.
Edit: I see that Sports South as zero SCCY in stock.
They're done.
Closure of the SCCY Industries Firearm Company
Over the last two weeks I have watched competing posts claiming the SCCY company was closed, and some people say it was still open and the victim of an internet hoax. This week, photographs have su…
