The old Lone Star Army Ammunition plant has some activity beginning. Hope this will make the supply problem a little less acute:

Yep, I’d think primers would have about the highest profit potential right now.

I am not going to hold my breath, but I am hopeful.
We are all wondering how long until in full production?

I think the margins are incredibly slim.

I for one feel its a very good thing to have another American made primer company. The fact they are in a building that was previously and ammo manufacturer is a big plus IMO.

Sounds like a primer specific plant.

I’ll believe it when I see Expansion Primers
on Local Gun Store’s shelves.
Their responsibility is to their Stockholders
first, so I don’t see any reasonable pricing
and they will have to take on Government
contacts to survive.
Competition is good though. We’ll see.

They say they’ve invested $100 mil into the facility so they are bound to have information about the future not privy to me and you.

They must have some stupid wealthy backers. $100M would be very difficult to raise to finance a new business like that. It would be too risky for me to participate even if I had the opportunity.
Reloading...primers
The better half picked up a gun today at our FFL dealer/ pawn shop and asked they had any primers. The lady went in the back and came back with one (1) box of 100 209s and laid it on the counter. How much she asked....25.00$ the owner replied. Believe we’ll find another FFL dealer from here on out.

Did the dealer really ask for $25 for only 100 shotgun primers? Totally disgusting! I agree, time for a new FFL.
