Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 When you can score 4K of Federal small pistol primers, THAT will be a real sign we are getting to normal again. GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were a mfr and people were going crazy buying your product, wouldn't ramp up production? More revenue... I have a hard time believing it's just panic creating the shortage... who knows? I think you might right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when we had the shortages after the Sandy Hook shootings in 2012, it took over a year for the primer inventory to start coming back and almost 3 years for 22 ammo to be found consistently on shelves. I sure hope you are right, but I fear this will be a long dry spell like back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Steak Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm frustrated at the shortage - but a part of my heart smiles that people across America are rekindling their relationship with the second amendment. They are seeing that it isn't just about duck hunting or shooting clay pigeons. People all over are starting to notice that the person with primary responsibility for a safe and secure environment is the individual. not the government not the police the last six month have proven that neither are best suited to care for the individual. I dont want to be "low" any more than the next cowpoke - but I'm glad people are starting to sit up and take notice. Hopefully it isnt too little too late.

Great in theory, but even in "normal situations" there are must too many things that can cause delays. I liked to call it JMI (Just Missed It). Or as Maxwell Smart said, "Missed it by That much!"

Marauder SASS #13056 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The manufacturers also learned from previous "panic buying." They were encouraged to add capacity as well as adding workers. But the "push" was only temporary so the extra cost was not readily recouped. They can add more shifts, but they still need to recoup the training and personnel costs. So most are working at full capacity knowing/hoping that this will once again pass and they will eventually catch up. With the added fear that if the Left (democrats) win, they may likely be shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequila Shooter Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 If it helps I’m willing to work for primers at any of the manufactures. I think at least 1,000 per day would be the minimum I’d take, paid weekly, and I’d work for at least 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
