I have been looking to take advantage of this from an investment stand point. The only publicly traded company I could find was Olin (OLN). Any suggestions as to other companies?
Some other ones that come immediately to mind are Ruger and Smith & Wesson. Perhaps also ATK (Alliant Techsystems), although they have a more diversified product line.
Ruger is an excellent American company.
Its stock symbol is RGR, and it has been on a market boom for some time.
The link below shows RGR’s price growth, when the chart appears, enter SPY for the S&P, DIA for the Dow, or your favorite stock symbol for comparisons.

I have made a few posts about owning RGR in the past. Of course those who have a personal bias against RGR try to shoot Ruger down. The market doesn’t listen to bs or personal bias very long.
In disclosure my wife and I both own RGR in our IRA’s, and we wish that we had bought more.
Smith and Wesson or SWHC might be a good investment for those who can stand steep roller coaster rides.
We own it and revise our stop loss/sell orders on a regular basis:
