joecichlid Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 ANOTHER shortage? When the store have nothing, how far is half of that supposed to get us? Joe W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resjudicata Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Get enough to last you for a while. There is going to be another dry spot coming the first of the year so expect shortages with powder and primers. Did they mention anything about bullets? I'm good on primers and powder but I will need bullets soon. I wonder if I should go into debt a bit for a big bullet order? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no "Global Warming". Now the buzz words are "Climate Change" That way whether it warms up or cools down, there is "climate change", and it's all our fault.

Will_M Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 This is getting ridiculous. I've got 15k on order from two separate places. Any word on a reason for this supposed shortage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I think we should sell our firearms- then they can "EAT IT" primers and powder! Golf is looking better and cheaper as the shortage gets worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 My industry resource reminded me this morning of the typical shortages involved with the beginning of each new year. For many years in the firearms industry, large orders are received from super manufacturing facilities for contracts they need to fill during the following year. I was told to expect things to be worse in 2010 than they were in the Spring of 2009 because the market is in such bad shape already. This is going to compound the current shortages we are seeing. The fact that ATK has several NEW contracts with its operations with the DoD's Lake City Armament, and they control a major portion of the market with their ownership of so many of the reloading companies. This information came to me from someone working closely with one of the largest names in the reloading component industry, Hodgdon powders. Can we sell our investments in gold and buy stock in powder companies? Has anyone read the information about the Cerberus Company Holdings and them being in financial woes? Cerberus being the folks that are largely vested in Remington, Marlin, DPMS, and Bushmaster. When financial advisors want to start pulling their money out of a company in the tune of $5.5 Billion, it doesn't look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resjudicata Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I know I'm sounding paranoid but I think the fed is buying up everything. A combination of the ongoing Afganistan war and possible antigun people in the fed thinking it is a good idea for this stuff not to be available. Tinfoil hat mode.

Rolex Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 This has been said before= gun controll begins with the shortages of making ammo- with having nothing to load, the firearms can be used as clubs, as none will be usabale as a firearm, due to the fact that no one will be able to make ammo!! This will be better than the control of the firearm it self Think about it- no ammo= NO BANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Gasoline was supposed to be at least $4.50 a gallon again this summer. No one knows with any degree of certainty what kind of supply vs demand conditions will exist in 3-6 months. That's all I got to say on this one.

WDB Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 What gets me is that big business is CONSTANTLY finding ways to outsource overseas, why can't they apply the same to this type of product. Its not like we have the only military in the world and you know damn well that we don't make primers and powder for entire world. I really surprised that manufacturers in other coutries haven't jumped on this opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
