The 556 is not a big seller in this country. So I don't think making more of those will have any impact. But it really doesn't make sense because in this country, SIG has never had a big share of the assault weapon market, either with civilians or LEOs. I'm not sure why they expect the gamble is going to pay off.

Not to mention - think about all the new AR makes/models that have come out since the AWB ended. Have any of them managed to displace the share of the AR market controlled by Colt, Bushmaster, Armalite, and Olympic?
