I don’t understand this. Why would ammo be understocked? I understand people buying more, but then why wouldn’t manufacturers, who only stand to make more money, make more?

I think manufacturers are running wide open right now, but folks are hoarding, buying as much as they can, as fast as they can.

Ammo companies are working 24/7 to meet current demand.

They’re catching up. Blame it on Barry and an uncertain future.

We’ve had to cut down on range time just to have some reserves.

A couple months back I read the American public had bought 1.5 BILLION rounds since Obie won the nomination and enought small arms to equip several armies, about 7 million. The ammo manufactorers are in a bad position; with the dems in office demand is up but they can't afford to expand if laws change and they can no longer sell to the public...

That question baffles me too.
