.... and the primers show up.
(Figure if we keep saying it hopefully it will happen some day soon.)
Been through quite a few of these politically panic driven, limited supply chain shortages, etc., etc., although this one was definitely exasperated by the Covid scam and by Remington's financial woes (just heard yesterday through a good friend in Charlotte that was connected to Remington ... that Remington's holdings included billions of stockpiled primers when they shut down that are now being used to make new ammo) ... but all of that combined with the new gun owners and with everything else .... it was a darn perfect storm. The only thing that could prolong it more or that could have made it worse would have been if we were in a major overseas war or, as happened before, an Obama-like massive government purchasing order that bogarted all production until government agency's stores were overrunning ... and then he cut-off surplus military brass sales to-boot, from all the posts. Remember that Executive Order?
It causes shivers to run down my spine thinking how fragile our ammo supply chain is here in this country. This past crisis exposed some serious glitches in the system. Someone is going to invent a serious, corrosion free, alternative to primers after this ... and smart people will find ways to overcome these kind of shortages in the future.
As far as the current issues are concerned, it's good to see ammo coming back but ... it will be over when primers start showing-up in quantity again amd at decent prices.
