My own comment on this is that I hope that more ammo will be imported
and prices will come down to earth, possibly with the fools dumping
that stuff that they stocked up on with such certainty. I still have
enough ammo stocked up from the good times, and will just wait.


My only concern is with a change of leadership down the road, our
domestic ammo manufacturers find a population with such a glut of
ammo on hand that the manufacturers can't sell enough ammo to stay
in business.


You are 100% right.

The boom and bust cycle is going to be very tough on ammo
manufacturers.

It will be somewhat attenuated by two simultaneous wars going on at
the same time, requiring a lot of domestically produced ammo.

There could be a bust cycle for our ammo firms.


I hope that they saved some money from the latest ammo craze.

If 7.62x39 ammo gets down to $130-150 per thousand rounds, I will buy
2-3k rounds just in case.

It should be noted that the ammo manufactures DID NOT increase the size
of their plants, but simply ran 2-3 shifts a day. Which was VERY smart.


Right, putting more Americans to work than The Great O ever has.
