FAQ:
Does the recent news regarding a major U.S. lead smelter shutting down mean you'll have trouble obtaining lead for manufacturing conventional ammunition? We do not anticipate any additional strain on our ability to obtain lead.
Why is ammunition in certain calibers so hard to find? The current market and environment is causing stronger than usual demand for products in our industry.
Why are you selling your ammunition to the DHS? The Department of Homeland Security contract makes up a very small percentage of our total ammunition output. Our production volumes on government contracts have been stable since the mid-2000s.
IS DHS BUYING MORE AMMUNITION TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE? Department of Homeland Security ammunition purchases have been declining since 2009. It is projected that it will continue on this trend. Read the GAO report.
Are certain contracts taking ammunition away from civilians? No. We remain committed to serving all channels of our business. The majority of our product serves the commercial market.
Why can't you just make more ammunition? Our facilities operate 24-hours a day. We are continually making process improvements to increase our efficiency and investing in capital and personnel where we have sustained demand. We are bringing additional capacity online again this year.
