Other retailers and manufacturers are seeing increased orders.  Likely people are ordering  Incase the Israeli conflict spreads. 

I see a small blip in ammo prices in the short term, but nothing to be worried about.

Some Jews turned on their own people and helped the original Nazis, and Zelenskyy is a money laundering coke head who was selected by the CIA because he has zero principles. 

The Nazis in Ukraine are as old school as the come, and they have him on a short leash.

You never stopped to wonder why your money is worth less and less every day?

Hope the US keeps some of the ammo for ourselves.

The LC rumor was false. They're still making commercial ammo.


Looks like the shortages were due to panic buying and stores trying to stock up on ammo.

What was said is that LC will not ship any commercial orders.  So their post is correct as contracts weren't terminated and they are still making ammo.

For now.  biden is still in office and kamala has been handed control of that BS Department of Gun safety or some bullsh*t name like that.

Plus that 90 day exporting of firearms and munitions thing they thought of is just the beginning.

Remains to be seen what comes out from all this crap.

This is an excerpt from an email from RMR, one of my bullet suppliers.
They made those happy-face bullets that I love.
I'm not sure how to interpret this, so you folks can just read it for yourself.

----------

On Halloween I mentioned that we were completely out of copper.  The good news is that copper showed up much sooner than we expected.  It is going to take us a while longer still to make all the bullets we need to get caught up with backorders for the hollow points,
I thought about taking this part off this email because I don't want to fan any fires, but I also want to make sure people understand why we are a little behind in shipping right now.  If I don't explain it, I will get a million complaints and I promise I would rather work on getting orders out than answering hundreds of emails as to why it took us two or three days to ship an order.  We have the best packagers in the world but there is only so much they can do in a day.  ....

Okay, so I'm sure most of us have all heard about the crazy news in the firearm industry.  In case you haven't, here is a quick list of what has happened recently.  With Ukraine and Israel going to war, most of the foreign supply and much of the domestic supply of ammunition related stuff in not going to be available to the public for a little while.  Hornady had an explosion in the primer plant that killed an employee so their primer production is shut down while they investigate the cause.  Speer, CCI, Federal, Blazer, (Vista Outdoors) just announced that they are selling to a Czech company/rich guy.  That's kind of a long way for me to say that we are slammed with orders right now and it looks like there is another buying spree going on at the moment.  We are keeping up just fine but haven't been running any sales so that we don't get overwhelmed.  We are able to keep up so far, but I'm sorry to say you shouldn't expect much for sales if demand stays this high.  We want to make sure that we stay caught up as best as we can.  The good news is that unless copper and lead go way up in price I don't expect to have any price increases.  I've noticed that several places have already raised pricing on some things but until we see copper and lead and shipping go up we're gonna hold pricing where it is.  Also, still no limits on how many you're allowed to buy.  Bring it on!
