Sounds like you know a whole lot more about it than I do! :^) But if the demand is there, you'd think someone would be thinking about filling it.

You've got that right. But, essentially, it's a government operation. The contractor is responsible for producing what the gubment demands. As many have already posted, having only one small arms ammunition plant is a serious mistake. The DOD has been spending big $$$ on high ticket items (Apaches, Abrams, et al) so they routinely ignore small arms and equipment.
