Chili Ron Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Howdy, Does anyone know what sort of production is going at the ammo factories? Are they not making ammo? Shelves are empty and have been for so long? There isnt even any at rip off prices? Its just so hard to believe. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Function of the election, have a president select who has promised gun bans, taxes on guns, bans on buying gun parts and ammo online, bans on imports. Who has supported defunding the police, as violence continues to spiral out of control in many democrat controlled cities. Ammuniton plants are running full bore. Some companies are or are looking into expansion of facilities. But there will be shortages for as long as the eye can see. Sad but true. Eventually, (probably once new regulations, taxes, and trade policies kick in), the economy will contract and go into a prolonged recession and people will be unable to afford guns and ammo and then gradually there will be ammo, powder, primers, and brass to buy again. In the meantime one is just going to have to find what they can, pay exorbitant prices, or do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The ammo manufacturers are actually working extra shifts. The problem is the supply of raw materials plus the fact that so many orders have been placed that everyone is backlogged clear into the next century. In the meantime shooters in Europe and elsewhere generally are not experiencing shortages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will answer your question very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Because of the bankruptcy Remington was not making ammo. Due to Covid 19 imports from Europe, Brazil, Russia and the Philippines have been severely impacted. Aguila, Privi-Partizan, Seller & Bellot, Wolf, MagTech to name a few brands that are imported. Now add in all the new shooters plus panic buying and this is the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
