FWIW......

A broad view on the current state of the supply chain for firearms and related appurtenances is provided below:

Doesn't put primers in the primer pockets, but at least it provides a snapshot of wot's wot.

Now, Bullit, We All Know You Know..........

But just to clear the record,

It's all that Gun Stuff in Your Man Cave, Garage, Workshop, and Other Places That Wimmen Can't Come Into [Not That They Want To] that's Not Actually a Gun.

Everybody in Rio Linda knows that.

I'm going to call bs on at least one point. Smith was making a little over 400 of their Model 1 revolvers each day towards the end of the Model 1's life in the 1800s. One would think with today's technology they could crank more out. Only thing I can think of is they don't have enough materials like some other companies have stated. Speaking of not having enough materials, I need to go get some more scrap lead...

Just for a fun comment....

Gun industry spurred... growing sharply... making lots of money.

And look, no bail out, no printed money, etc.

Amazing!

I read that on another site. 1 BILLION rounds a week.....and still huge shortages? Amazing.

I do think it will get better once things settle down...and as disgusting as it is there won't be as much competition from our brothers in a half dozen states that are busy outlawing constitutional rights.
