Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yep, good people. Sadly, I got a big suspicion he'd likely be under-insured...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Tis tragic and sad. This is the 3rd powder explosion at a facility in the last 12 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernal Combustion Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Saw it this evening but didn't make the connection to Ammo Direct - wasn't mentioned in the article. Never used 'em, but had visited their web site once or twice to possibly find ammo for calibers I didn't reload. Prayers up for the victims and their families. Addendum: Just checked and their web site appears to be down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye Don Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Wow. Sad news indeed. I have purchased alot of ammo from them in the past before I started to reload. They are a good company to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Saint Paw Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thoughts and prayers to all involved. I had purchased from them also before I started reloading .38 and I just placed a small order the 30th for some other rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 This is indeed bad news. They may be able to make a come back in a year or so. But many businesses find that they're underinsured for a catastrophy such as this. I sincerely hope this isn't the case with AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dusty Feller, SASS #20010L Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Most sad to hear that one of their people died in the explosion. I knew Mike, the owner, and had visited their plant to pick up ammo and kibitz with the folks. Oh, Mike was a cowboy shooter and we traded yarns over the years. Everybody there was great and extremly helpful. I hope Mike gets his company going again and doing a great business. These folks are great and I look forward to doing business with them again. God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
