So, the same question. Why would anyone want to purchase ammo made in Russia. I can just imagine at a critical time shipping us a lot of duds and then provoking some kind of civil unrest or invasion, let’s say from Mexico.
I can imagine a lot of things. I don't have to imagine the Russians selling us thousands of tons of low cost, reasonable quality, reliable ammunition. That's what they're doing right now.
If you want to imagine things ... I can imagine Federal or Winchester being ordered a gunpoint by Fedzilla to muck up domestic civilian ammunition supplies.
