small time outfit that can't keep anything they sell now in stock
won't go anywhere
if they ever make a primer at all, they'll go under as soon the bubble passes

Like it or not, regulation has made it so that we're dependent on Vista and Olin making enough primers and so far they're not willing to put up the capital for expansion of capacity because they're predicting the cycle will end. They're certainly not predicting the SCOTUS will rule 50-state constitutional carry. Fudds are opposed to it, or they'd be doing all to make it happen.

What we need are vax-industry execs running ammo plants. Those people know how to move the goods.. No excuses.
 
You’d think someone on here would have true first hand information as to what is really going on with the primer situation instead of a bunch of speculation.

We do, well, I do anyhow. It’s essentially the same as the past two or three shortages plus a pandemic, labor shortages, supply chain constriction, and raw materials shortages.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how’d you like the play?
 
This is one of those "I know a guy who knows investors" posts.
They are planning on trying to build a primer manufacturing facility in Texas, but not the Texarkana guys. But I'm skeptical about it. I'm not sure they know what they are doing. They seem more like guys with capital, who like guns, and have ideas...... It was going to be loaded ammo, then making primers..., Last I heard they were going to try and supply vista, rather than the general public.

I wish them the best, but I'm typing this with my dubious face on.

Let’s talk about the elephant who lives in that house: making explosives isn’t exactly flipping burgers. It’s skilled, highly specialized labor. Anybody with capital can buy a building and equipment; but finding skilled labor and convincing enough people to come work in that building, on that equipment, living in that area, is another thing altogether. It’s a limited labor market.

I bet a good manger and supervisor can train a bunch of South American to handle explosive in 1-2 months TOP
