The distributors have to say it on their site or they can get spanked by Win but why not just drop the whole 'wink, wink, nudge nudge' BS.

Government sales can be like an annuity: you won't make much, but the returns can be steady. That has not exactly held true for everyone in the Obama years (see: my firm's revenues), but unless Olin adds significant new capacity just to service the gov work they are pretty safe. The upshot is that servicing .gov increases carryover commercial capacity for anything they buy.<br /><br />I just wish .gov would buy more .22lr.
