A Message From Federal, CCI, Speer And Remington President Jason Vanderbrink On Ammo Demand

 We know, ammo seems hard to come by right now. But rest assured, we are building and shipping more and more every day—right here in the USA. Check out this video for more details.

  1. If there was production the same as last year , it seems you would see a trickle of ammo and primers and other components. None coming to the 3 or 4 places I go to . Been told by the owners they have been advised that nothing is coming before summer 2021.

  2. Local gun shops get a shipment and it is gone within 30 minutes of the store opening. Some will buy anything so they can resell it for more on the down low. As usual scum bags are screwing things up. Same dick heads are in line each morning for opening.

    1. So they are dickheads and scumbags for being a capitalist...It's funny how people always whine about people trying to make a buck because they didn't have the foresight to stock up on what they shoot...

    2. We all need to appreciate the more socialist interpretation of the 2A.

    3. Wrong again, I have plenty many others do not....7 million new gun owners need Ammo. Scum bags stuck it right up the new peoples ass. The scum bags are easy to spot.

    4. Who's fault is it that they are just now waking up to the fact that they need a gun...Not much foresight there and they should have to suffer the consequences of not taking their own security seriously... Leaving things til the trouble is upon you is a bad way to go through life...

  3. Federal, CCI, Speer And Remington do not sell direct to the gun stores. The sell to a distributor and they sell to the gun stores. That's where the issue is. If you check RSR, GAS, etc, etc, they have ammo. But it's all been "allocated" to their biggest customers. The small, medium, and even fairly large gun stores are frozen out.

  4. It's funny how anyone that deals with the gov. has to do their bidding...He was told to calm and placate the masses and that's just what he tried to do...The supply has dried up because of agencies stockpiling it because they knew about the steal coming and knew the majority wouldn't stand quietly by and accept it..

  5. The millions of new gun owners is why they have no excuse for not spending heavily to increase their manufacturing capacity by building new and more infrastructure. With this increase in new ownership, there will correspondingly be a new and larger demand ongoing into the foreseeable future. Even if the current panic didn't exist, that new level of ongoing demand would still stress out the supply chain. There will NEVER be going back to how it was. The demand change is PERMANENT. But, just like the ammo panic for .22 from 2013 to 2016, the manufacturers don't want to spend on expensive new machines and facilities for a "temporary" fluctuation, so they have tried to wait this out (just like last time) and let it all settle out. And just like last time, that was THE WRONG MOVE. They now realize (at least a little sooner than last time) that there is no way out of this deficit except to crank up production by investing in new/bigger/better manufacturing infratstructure. When they finally did that with .22 specific manufacturing capacity in 2015, the drought ended in less than a year. They will have to do it again, but this time on centerfire production machines. But since that still takes precious time, and having experienced the damnation from pissed off customers last time around, the CEOs now know a little better than last time that they can't just keep quiet about it and have to go on a PR offensive and start spreading some feel-good happy-sounding bullshit. Anything to distract from the fact that they should have acted months ago and are behind the 8-ball because they dawdled. True, there is no conspiracy,...just money-motivated procrastination and incompetent analysts. And now they don't want you to see their failings.

    1. To condense your point; Ammo makers wanted to make a profit and not expand production facilities for a demand increase that will be temporary if it happens at all, I didn't buy when ammo was cheap and available, and now I can't walk into any store I want and buy any items I want so ammo manufacturers are to blame and I'm pouting.

    2. If one tenth of these New gunowners stick with it they are gonig to have to increase capacity.

  7. Supply and demand always work. I am sure there is a little slow rolling to get prices higher as there are assholes in every industry. Just like the whiskeys that used to be readily available weekly. The distillers slow roll and profit on some. Just like the old geezers who hung out at walmart early in the morning a few years ago and bought any AR that came in and turned it on gunbot or others. The older lady at the counter liked me and told me about them. I laughed because I figured out those guys were drinking AARP coffey with my 80 year old father in law at McDonalds after they left. I did not like it but bitching was not going to change it.
