Usually when a manufacturer calls something "blem" it's just their way of selling to the public excess inventory for the same price they were dumping it to dealers for months prior.
So when dealers complain like "what the hell I just bought 30 Ak's for $600 now you're selling them to the public...
Meh, a few months from now you'll be able to get cases of 9mm for $200 again just like you could a few months ago.
Panics come and go, don't buy in to it.
