Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Latest primer rumor

Midway has SRP. For how long?

For a good while already, actually. I bought some 41s a while back for semi-auto use, and to keep the others for other rifles. Even at this price, with shipping and HAZMAT, these are cheaper than the only local place I know of that has them at times.

I just checked with a buddy who works for that company. He said that they started shipping to their bulk clients a few months ago. Current minimum orders are large but product is moving.


Okie John

I have posted this before but there is supposedly a primer factory being built near Des Arc, Ar. There is definitely something being built, with buildings surrounded by high earthen embankments. That is all that I can say for sure. miles

Des Arc? Maybe I’ll make a drive that way when I get to Arkansas next weekend. Didn’t Fiocchi announce they were building a plant in Little Rock?

Fiocchi has a plant, I suppose. At least they have a sign that I saw going to Wrightsville a while back. That is South of Little Rock a small distance. miles

If you get caught with your pants down once shame on them

Twice shame on them and you

Three times shame on you

Four times WTF is wrong with you

We are at number 5

Believe it or not some may make it all the way to 10 or possibly infinity and beyond

Me, I made it to 1 once!!!

Now I'm a happy camper! Happy happington the hunter who can run and jump and hop and skip! And shoot bullets

There is a moral to this story and I believe someone pointed it out! Its called a Democrat got elected again! Take it into consideration or don't consider it at all! Ultimately that choice is yours, but remember, you are the one who made it!!!

During the Sandy Hook shortages I bought two bricks of Fiocchi small pistol primers for $30 each. There were 2500 primers in each brick. An old guy was clearing out his reloading supplies due to loss of vision.

That is a 180 from what I have heard.

I'll call it beating your chest like Tarzan after a kill. You're welcome.

I'll concede the (good) point, however. I don't have as much powder as I thought I had.... or want. Sufficient for awhile, just not smugly sufficient - my preference point....

I have a flintlock. No issues.

Ficcohi is building a facility in Ft. Smith, AR. Management were showing ammo, etc........at LE training in Ozark, AR. They said they hoped to be up and in production just after the start of 2023. Glad to have them in our midst.

I know primers are the biggest problem. In Canada, I have been paying $110 to $140 per thousand. That's about $85 to $115 USD, when they are available. Out of curiosity, what are you paying for 1000 primers during this latest shortage?

like that idea

I will believe anything about primers when they show back up in shops in any number.

Cost might be around 40.00 per thousand but that price seems fair these days.

But i don't think that they will show up.

Ok, very familiar with the area as I grew up north of LR. I considered buying 120 acres with a house last July that bordered Cypress Bayou. It was a pretty good deal, just didn’t know what the hell I’d do for work though. Came back to Alaska and four months later went permanent remote work.
