vidette Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Midways website went down this afternoon for about 30 minutes. Was there a massive buyout of primers that I missed or was it just to update their expected availability date from next week to mid March? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kajun Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Midway USA has had smokeless powder pretty regularly the last 6 months. For S&G I checked and they show to be out of stock for every brand of smokeless powder that they carried....and they carry a large selection.

Hendo Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I had an 8lbs jug of W231 in my cart and was futzing around with the idea of buying a couple of Blackhawk hammers for Rugers I don't own. By the time I went back, the powder was gone and the hammers went up by 2 bucks each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I was on there last night and again today with no probs... uh, other than no primers, no powder, hardly any bullets, hardly any brass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidette Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 They were supposed to have primers back in stock in 2 weeks, allegedly. After the Remington ammo plant announced it's back in operation, they updated it to show March 12th. I guess all those primers just got rerouted.

Frontier Lone Rider Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 The primer division of Remington was sold to another party during the bankruptcy auctions. So, Remington no longer makes ammunition or primers. At least, that is my understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulsey, SASS#11236 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Vista Outdoors bought the ammo side of Remington. They own RCBS, Federal, Estate, CCI, Speer and a bunch of other shooting products companies. Getting the Remington ammo plant in Arkansas running full blast should help things.
