El Catorce Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 hmmm.... think they'll sell us primers if we knock on their door? .... or maybe it'll just be another 10M primers heading there instead of the reloading shelfs at LGS's.... ;/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Dan Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 "The facility will specialize in the production of primers, a key component in ammunition manufacturing, for the small arms industry." Seems to me that someone finally realized there is money to be made filling the BIG hole in ammunition manufacturing. This could end the primer shortage.

Texas John Ringo, SASS #10138 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 That's about twenty miles from me. I worked there in the late '60's in maintenance(mechanical, not cleaning up). Was on the "G" line pretty often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Wonder what brand name they will market them under. Or are they making them under contract to a major brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
