Quit being a troll, if you don’t understand why it is beneficial for this factory to have sales outside of the military then make your case.

Quit being a troll, if you don’t understand what’s going on and post like you’re drunk.

Cartridge dimensions are slightly different.

per Hornady… “The 5.56 NATO chamber has a .125” longer throat. This allows approximately one more grain of powder to be loaded into a 5.56 NATO cartridge; this is what gives it higher performance than its 223 Remington cousin.”

““They get causality backward. The law-abiding target shooters and gun owners who buy Lake City ammunition are subsidizing national defense and military readiness,” the Jan. 24 letter reads.”

You are trolling your own thread.

28 Republican AGs Say Ending Ammo Sales

That’s almost the same number of states trying to keep Trump off the ballot.

Yeah...cartridge dimensions are the same, as I posted. Powder charges and chamber dimensions vary. There may be about a 1% difference in case capacity, due to thicker brass used in 5.56.

Are you capable of making any sense?

Why would you post a thread for discussion merely to be a troll on it?

Ironic, I looked earlier today and couldn’t find any 7.62x51mm by Lake City for sale.

It will come and go as they complete Government contracts with excess going to civilian markets or any other legal market.

There are still many Free Market forces actively affecting the market, and Lake City, like any other market supplier, wants to turn their above contract production into cash, for their operating expenses.
