MKS range position with Barnaul Ammunition Shot Show 2022

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)-– At the Industry Day at the Range, Shot Show 2022, I was able to talk with Charles Brown, President of MKS Supply. Their position on the firing line was on the West end of the range positions.

There were several cases of Barnaul ammunition on display. As Russian ammunition has been sanctioned by the Biden administration, Mr. Brown was asked about the effect on his ability to supply ammunition to the American market.

The company is required to submit Form 6’s to import ammunition. The forms are submitted long in advance. There is a significant pipeline of ammunition continually being imported into the United States.

The Biden administration’s sanctions on the importation of Russian ammunition did not revoke any of the Form 6 applications that had already been approved. They became effective on September 7, 2021. They will continue in effect for 12 months, to be re-evaluated in late August or early September 2022, which will be shortly before the mid-term elections in November of 2022.

The sanctions stopped approval of the Form 6 applications which were not approved when the Biden sanctions were put in place.

Approved Form 6 applications can be used for two years from the date of approval. Thus, from the date of the Biden administration sanctions, imports will continue for about two years.
