Possible component shortages

#1 Postby Brad Y » Mon Jan 21, 2013 3:28 pm

Just reading through a few sites and have seen reports that the yanks have gone silly before possible gun reform and have been stockpiling ammo, primers, powder and projectiles. Then I read that NIOA have had a massive 12 million primer order cancelled.

Ive just topped up on 3 thousand primers so that should be the main problem out of the way for a while since we make our own powder and HBC bullets (will have to get some more 6.5's once I find out what the 260 likes)

Hopefully it doesnt happen, but if you need more stuff now might be the time to get it. All I need now is another hundred 308 palma cases.

I wondered myself, but the QRA Q store says NIOA has plenty of stock at the moment.

interesting that obama has caused the sale of more guns and components than anyone in history.
the opposite of what he would like.
good ain't it!
keep safe,

I usually keep lots of primers, that's what happens when you are use to buying primers by the case for pistol shooting.

The yanks have gone silly, grafs is out of lots of rifle projies and have stopped back orders on their website.

I had a look at nioa's stock levels and they have lot of primers with more on order. It was surprising at how little gold medal primers they had compared to the normal primers.

It happened over there 4 years ago when Obama was first elected.
