- We know, ammo seems hard to come by right now. But rest assured, we are building and shipping more and more every day-right here in the USA. Check out this video for more details.

I've gone through at least 4 major ammo shortages just since 2000. Every time, people think it is the end of the world. You learn to stock up when times are good and ammo is abundant (and prices are good) and you don't buy during the brief times of the shortages and you let the fools pay the high prices.
People have such short term memory.
And you outta know! You test a lot of craaazy ammo! Love your YT's!
Here in South Texas (brazoria county) ammo is commonly available at academy at pre-panic prices. .223/5.56, 9mm, and .45 acp are on the shelves almost every morning. 3 box limit, but it is there. Sometimes one lucks out and finds the 150 rd and 200rd range packs as well. Maybe we're lucky, but I just buy steel case for practice and save my prepanic defensive and hunting stock for those two purposes. It's insane seeing steel case .223 going for 60-70 cents per round on the gun trading sites, and brass commonly for 1.00 a round, when all one must do (at least locally to me) is research for the bargains. Got 5.56 green tip the other day at 9.99 per 20, and 100rd boxes of monarch steel case for 29.99. I know some people loathe steel case, but for plinking and practice it keeps my brass from getting used up. The only thing occasionally hard to find is your m193 and hunting loads. Got hornady 55grain spire points last week, but haven't seen m193 for at least a month.
Yeah this. These factories are not going to invest hundreds of millions to increase production to keep up with high demand that only lasts a year. After the last time this happened, and demand plummeted, there were layoffs and mergers.
Or just make your own crazy rounds and test the effectiveness. Keep up the good work OG
I'd come out of retirement to work there.....you can just pay me in ammo.
You’d be lucky if they paid you $20 an hour. I know several well qualified people turned away from Federal here in MN. St. Paul closed down their only steel mill in June. The state hates guns and hates manufacturing. This CEO is blowing smoke up your $&@. Anyone that doesnt think a large supply of their ammo isnt going to government warehouses is a moron and probably believes what any CEO or politician tells them. Jason makes $1.3 million a year. CEO of Vista makes $4 million.

I'm on your side. I believe most gun owners are.
You'd be wrong.
@@mattmarzula Why wouldn't you be Matt? They are on our side providing the ammo for our hobby. They can only do so much. So why not be patient, look for ammo sales, and get over it. Don't alienate the very people we need.
Same here, most of us "old-timers" understand and thank you for all your work and effort.
@@racketyjack7621 they bow down and dont sell to all states. They are fudds
@@ezrsaidndone8399 what state are they not selling to?
7 million new gun owners. I wonder how many were anti-gun this time last year.
These are pro gun people that procrastinated till the looting & riots then bought whatever gun they could get.
A lot of people in my experience (families and friends) that were anti-gun are now pro-gun. They just bought a handgun, or handgun and rifle.
@@TheLastWhiteKid I know some as well. They weren't ardent anti-gun, but they used to make fun of me for being a gun nut. Suddenly a month before the election they buy a couple of hand guns.
@@thermalreboot sounds like my parents 🗿
@@thermalreboot Your experience matches mine in some respects but I also know of at least two ardent anti-gun individuals (I lived in SF at the time) who suddenly got religion and went out and bought handguns when the rioting and other nonsense started in late May/early June. Prior to that, they loudly mocked all gun owners as "gun nuts" and "guys with small dicks using guns to bolster their self-esteem." You can imagine my reaction when both of them, one guy and one gal, separately called me to seek advice on what kind of firearm to buy. I gave them some advice and each told me later when they bought their gun and wanted me to teach them how to shoot. Funny how a sense of crisis focuses people's thoughts on what really matters.
I'm not saying you are not making ammo, I'm saying I cannot find any ammo!
HR127 - Write your senators of your states for Sanctuary 2a. and yes, this is why there is a SHORTAGE.

He says he is making ammo as fast as he can. He may be right but that doesn't mean he is making them for us. He may have a contract with some big customer so he is busy.

Where is the ammo ??? CEO says it is producing ammo. I find not one retail store that has received one round of ammo to sell .......
No hate mail here. Thank you so much for what you are doing not just for us but for our country.
I’m 68 years young and I have never seen my beloved country for which I served 23 years in my beloved Navy so attacked from within our borders as today. With all of that said, I want to thank you for the excellent product that Federal is making. God bless you and all of your hard working American employees.
Well spoken sir.
HEARD THAT ! AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TOO THIS GREAT COUNTRY!!!
Thank you and all who served. Sorry our Leaders are soooo Corrupt
During Cold War in the Reagan years. When we were fighting against communism. Wasn’t there laws for the citizens of the United States against communism? So why are we all of a sudden being attacked on the inside by communist, and nothing is being done about it. I figured maybe a veteran during that time such as yourself could maybe answer that question for me. Thanks. And thank you for your service
7Pines Knives there are no laws, and there never have been, against a political party. The communist party in America ran a candidate in the 1980 election. Anyone who swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution fought for the right of others to be idiots, and when they stop, we will be just as bad as any communist dictatorship.
I wish more executives/business owners/leaders would be this straight forward and transparent!
And politicians? Ok I'm asking too much.
the vast majority of them get by in life by being fantastic bullshitters. its how they succeed at everything, so they stay with it.
Politicians? Good luck! Most are liars and dishonest to the core.
Absolutely. Especially gun/ammunition companies that seem so notorious for exhibiting the penchant for remaining often reticent and ignoring of the feed back from the shooting public.
Federal screwed me over on defective 6.8spc fusion ammo.
I had contacted them and told them I was having a huge issue with over pressure on these rounds.
I pulled 7 bullets and weighed the charges.
They range from 25.3grs to 27.9grs.
It was fine ball powder with 4 of the charges having lots of extruded powder mixed in(20-30 pieces).
The ballistics expert that called me back tried to bullshit me to that federal didn't load their charges by the weight of powder in their cases, but by pressure the charge creates!
They sent me a postage paid box to send back two boxes out of my eight remaining boxes.
Two months later I got a check for $50! And zero explanation what was wrong nor what to do with my six remaining boxes!
I called them multiple times and emailed them several times.
They never got back to me!
They did pull all of the 6.8spc fusion from the shelves in the Boise area though!
Federal don't give a shit about it's citizen customer base!
Hi, it's me The Future.
Still waiting for ammo.
Stores are physically removing their empty shelves.
blame sleepy joe b
Really appreciated this video when it came out. 6 months later I'm calling bullshit. The stores have re-purposed their shelves from ammo to dog food. Reloading supplies are nonexistent and people are understandably nervous. I'm sorry if your feelings are hurt by the eagerness to by your product, but it's been long enough.
Yeah, they increased prices not manufacturing capacity. I call BS on ammo companies. I'm tired of paying more for 20 rounds of ammunition because companies want to game the market and only quality self defense ammo of 50 rounds or more is now LEO. 20 rounds now can cost as much or more as the same ammo that is LEO with 50 to 100 rounds. We're always had retailers nasty about if you ask for LEO and it is the same ammo!
I think the only out of this is to boycott,stop buying it then the prices will come down
It is collusion and indeed conspiracy to infringe on a natural right.
This is treason if government officials are involved in any way shape or form.
It always amazes me when someone who has no idea how something is done, complains about the process...
Tell me about it. Probably true in all industries. I'm in the grocery business...ugh!
Or thinks they know how to do it better, even with zero experience.
@@onepocketslim There do seem to be a lot of folks that believe produce, meat and can goods just miraculously drop out of the sky, and onto the shelves just in time for their visit to the store, lol.
@@timclaus8313 why kill animals hunting when you can just go to the grocery store? Am I right?
You just described nearly every politician.
This guy is solid, he is in the right place and he’s doing his best.
He didn’t need to say anything but he did and that’s why he’s the boss.
This isn’t Tesla, they don’t have Tesla money and it’s a far more regulated commodity. They are doing their best, I don’t care if you don’t believe it.
@@pizdaxyu That tent is about 150,000 square feet. Remington's ammo factory is 820,000 sqft; Federal is 700,000 sqft; and Speer is 350,000 sqft. If Elon built another tent and equipped it for ammo, production would only amount to maybe 10% of those three factories.
@@captainjohnh9405 And it goes way beyond just a place to make ammo,,,setting up machinery to load ammo is a very time consuming task that isn't something you can just set up at the drop of a hat,,,it takes much precise care to set everything up so the ammo made is usable and not dangerous and for every new machine that assembles ammo is other unseen machines that make all the individual components of that ammo then there is the raw materials that make those components that need to be avaialable,,,,people seem to forget or not know just how deep and involved it is and speak out of pure ignorance when they say the negetive things about it that they do.
@@looseballs1966 Absolutely! As a kid I remember the auto plants would shut down for a month or more to retool established lines to produce a new car. I can only imagine how long it would take to order, have manufactured, and install new machinery... and then to make test runs and fine tune everything. I was just trying to show the other poster how puny Elon's stunt really was.
@Bartsimpson
The ventilators were built by car manufacturing corporations who retooled. Remember the “emergency” declaration allowed the government to give hundreds of millions to those companies that retooled. Ammunition is under the same attack as firearms and the industry has been relentlessly attacked and over regulated. It’s all a bunch of BS, Trump is the only thing that saved us for the last four years. Like you said we are “fkd”now and there will be no more imported Ammo or firearms also. Even the Supreme Court has been compromised.
Thanks for clearing up the BS. I will do my part in spreading the word on your efforts. 2A proud.
I sold 3500lbs of lead to Remington once. Great Company! Keep up the good work.

Jason, understand that more of us understand than those who don't.
It’s the new gun owners that are wanting it now. They don’t realize they are part of the problem.
@@riflesniper0072 People crying about secret warehouses are the people who wear tinfoil hats. They either own dozens of guns, or are prohibited to by law.
@@riflesniper0072 its the crazies/tin foil people
Lmao...typical brown noser response to an obvious bullshit video.
You really think every gun that's been sold is being loaded with just this ammo.
BULLSHIT
@@riflesniper0072 I'm kinda happy people are now understanding how important and fun our 2A rights are and partaking in our rights. But now is a bad time for them to start.... Everyone needs to chill out and help one another.
As a floor worker for Federal, I can personally vouch for what Jason is saying...we're setting company production records in all calibers...
Will there be a come back of 40 gr. Hot core or equivalent between 30 and 40 gr.
Then where is it? Because its not in the stores...
@@kskeel1124 Bigger retailers get first dibs due to purchase quantities. So if youre like me and dont have a Cabelas or Bass Pro Shop near you, we will probably be on the backburner for a while.

My Sportsman Guide order # 6909____ has been on backorder since June of 2020. The message by the president doesn't compute for me, as my ammo has been on backorder for 8.5 MONTHS. That is a ridiculous delay. I have talked to the Customer relations director at the Sportsman Guide and the problem has been that they are not getting my specific American Eagle 9mm ammo from your company.
FINALLY, an executive of a major company that tells it like it is. This is refreshing.
Hornady has put out a video too. About a week ago I think
Vanderblink is not getting the job done. This is telling it like it is. If a football coach screws up he can't give lame excuses because its his responsibility and gets fired anyway. Same for Vanderblink, he should be replaced and accept his shortcomings.
if folks didn't hord amao like tolit paper we mite not be in this shape
@@mrboyle2455 i'm all for the stores limiting people on how many they can buy at a time.
Man if they are manufacturing that much I wonder why I can't find any. Ive been looking at least 3 times a week and nothing. Some of the other customers I talk to say the same thing. This is just another worthless Politicians Promise.
You hang in there, Mr Vanderbrink; it’s tough on all of us right now, and frustrations are high, but America needs you. Keep it rolling, and God bless👍🏻
Well done. Thank you for stepping up and clueing the public in. Stay safe and KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
Thank you and all your workers for working so hard to get us the ammo we all need and want God bless you all.
True shooters know the deal. We all know there’s a shortage. Thank you for this.
Shortage because of hoarding!
Shortage because of hoarding! Don't want to leaving anything for the next guy when your mindset is to just buy everything up for yourself so you call it a shortage LMAO 🤣
How long should this shortage last before it's just bad management?
@@OttawaMikes It is also bad management to add a bunch of extra capacity for a short term shortage, then idle the same equipment due to a return to normal demand. It sots a lost of money to add manufacturing capacity in any industry, along with considerable red tape, etc, that adds time and cost to adding new plants. What we don't know is if Federal's current plants are maxed out in capability, and if Federal would need to add completely new plants to increase overall capacity. If so, that is an entirely different kettle of fish, then just adding shifts to maximize production. I would expect Federal is running their plants at max capacity possible, while maintaining quality of the product. Plus, with only 4 primer manufacturers in the US, that is a limiting factor, especially when once again, we are seeing impacts from the Remington bankruptcy. Not sure about regulations for importation of primers from other countries, or if the Czech, Italian and Russian primer manufacturers even have capacity to spare. Much of the steel casing I have looked at are Berdan primed, so those primers are not compatible with US boxer primed cases.
But.. Who is jacking the price up?? Them, the distributors or the retailers?? $30 and more for a box of 9mm FMJ??
NOW THIS is an executive who backs his employees and his employees got HIS back.
Why... because he said 'we are running our ammo business like an ammo business and making ammo' ???
@@DirtyAstronaut yes. He didnt say "our company is committed to safe space for all" or some shitty variant of corporate speak
@@jonathan-6958 are you being sarcastic lol
@@DirtyAstronaut nah. Most "apologies" or "messages from the CEO"start off with how the company is committed to maintaining a safe work environment etc. All kinds of boeing unrelated shit. My mans said "hey we make ammo, and we are making ammo" period.
@@jonathan-6958 watch it again from about halfway thru. He definitely says that. I'm really not trying to be a troll or a dick.
I agree with CS Punisher, most of us have realized lean times come and go, but you have to store up for those times and wait for the market to catch up with demand. Jason and our FRIENDS at Federal are working very hard for us and we (real Americans) appreciate their dedication and support to the industry and shooting Americans across this Blessed Nation. Jason I salute you and your entire staff. God Bless you and the Ladies and Gents at Federal.

Thank you and continue to be safe!
It takes guts to make a video like this. I am positive almost all Public Relation firms would have told you "don't do this..worse thing you can do". I commend you for hitting this topic dead on. My family appreciates you and your employees commitment to supply us with our ammo. Merry Christmas.
Mr.Purser, I couldn't have said it any better. I really don't know how he kept his composure because I know he's got to be frustrated. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well as the Federal Ammunition family!
Plus he can make some extra money making such a good, quality video.
Or stupidity.
It only seems gutsy to the low brow crowd. The guy has a ticket to print money yet instead whines on CZcams about people “being mean”. What a d-bag. He’s making more money than ever before yet we’re to believe he’s big mad? Nah.
We're making money hand over fist yet we can't up production facilities because covid. Mmmkay
"We are doing our damnedest to meet the demand."
God bless this hero and the Americans who work for Federal!
Thank you , I truly appreciate it.
Thanks to everyone hard at work making the ammo that keeps us safe from criminals and free from tyrants. Your ammo has saved my grandmother from coyote attacks on her Missippi farm and is what my family swears by because of the sheer reliability you put in and the fact that it is American made.

Just sits on the shelves in someone’s garage, closet or basement.
Well said sir. Just took your product out with a couple of buddies and had an absolutely great time. It truly makes me appreciate your product more when there’s less of it. (But I also like when there’s a lot of it too). 🙂

Mr. Vanderbrink, Thank you for addressing this issue. I'm not sure when "the internet" became the bastion of truth. Most of the internet truth is just a personal opine to get likes and subscribers and subsequently money. I am glad you and your fellow personnel are working hard to address the problem. I never thought about the burden the new shooters put on the supply chain. I am also happy that this ammo is American made. Keep up the good work sir. Your candidness in this very un-candid world is appreciated.
I agree, that's why I do not rely on the internet (mainly sites that host discussions) for facts.
Wait a minute, i thought if its on the internet it has to be true.....
Sarcasm just one of the many useless services i offer.
I still don't know why the hell it ain't at the stores then
@@charlespoindexer9308 Because they are filling millions of back orders from internet sales and indoor shooting ranges. The supply out to the retail stores sells the minute it hits the shelves. Lot of hoarders out there.
The buck stops with him and he responds to the people , now that's exactly what I and most people want to see, thank you for taking the time to make this video explaining what's happening ... 👍👍
would be great to see the same in our country. buck should stop at the president.
Thank you sir for the much needed information concerning all the nonsense that's going around. It's appreciated!
Nothing like a good politician to boost company confidence
@@brandonweatherly6764 I live in California , where our gun laws are created by people who obviously don’t know anything about firearms , and there laws reflect that ignorance . The last time I was at a Walmart a guy was wanting to buy a couple of box’s of .22lr and it sounded like he would have to pass a background check to buy a couple of box’s of 50 round CCI .... I have to say I am glad I bought enough ammo from cheaper than dirt 10 years ago to make me even consider going thru that kind of bullshit .... . I don’t know whatever I
We got you covered make sure you share check out name-ammunitionlab.com for ammo and reloads
Thank you and all your employees for all your hard work
Thank you for your time and dedication! Although the ammo shelves are always bare when I check to see if there's a box or two that I can purchase, I continue to look in hopes that I'll be there when the next shipment hits the shelves. I realize everyone is trying to find ammo. So again, thank you for all of the hard work and time everyone is putting in to try and supply the demand. God bless you all.
He later has stated they are increasing prices not manufacturing capacity. What about the gouging they are now doing? I call BS on ammo companies. I'm tired of paying more for 20 rounds of ammunition because companies want to game the market and only quality self defense ammo of 50 rounds or more is now LEO. 20 rounds now can cost as much or more as the same ammo that is LEO with 50 to 100 rounds. We're always had retailers nasty about if you ask for LEO and it is the same ammo!
@@chrissinclair4442 it bites when they say one thing and turn around and stab us in the back. I've noticed some local retailers gouging and still a shortage on everything of any brand. If I go to a bigger city, I can get the same thing for a lot less. I don't want to hear that it's because my local store doesn't order as much... they do!
@@OuttheBackDoor i am talking about quality ammo not range ammo. HST, Hydro Shock Deep, Winchester Defender, Duty Carry, everything that is responsible for self defense follows my definition regardless of City size.
Big cities used to be a lot cheaper. Even MidwayUSA is expensive. Big city prices are going up. Responsible ammo to protect yourself with is gouging. These people need to be prosecuted.
@@OuttheBackDoor see I just checked out your channel. Had to subscribe so I would remember to actually try and watch it later.
Just so you know, most of us aren't that impatient. Most of us understand why there's shortages, knowing you're actually producing more than ever. We appreciate you guys, sorry you're working so hard to accommodate everyone, but keep up the good work. Thank you for your commitment to your customers. Stay safe. God bless you.
@The Guns N Glory Show make sure those 2 boxes of ammo count, take what the other side leaves you...
There is not a brass(metal) shortage, go back two years and look at the prices of rolled brass prices, these companies make their own brass(casings) if there is a casing shortage it's on them. This guy has a monopoly on ammo production in this country, you think he wants that to end, he as already complained about the Trump slump in sales. He had to pay off 200 workers in 2017. Now he says brass shortage but wants to get Remington plant running. How does opening a new plant help with a brass (metal) problem? Don't have enough for the plants already running but open new plant. He doesn't care if you have it or not . What does everyone here say,, ha ha. Should have bought it when they had it in stock. No greedy f**ks buy whole shipments and sale of on gun broker. ammo shouldn't be going for the price it is. I don't want to here supply and demand shit, this is so artificially done. If I sound like I'm ass hurt for ammo ,I'm good but I also know that someone sitting on 5000 rounds doesn't need anymore for awhile, but they just have to f**k their fellow Americans because they can.
You're "sorry" they're working so hard?
Poor poor fully employed fucks
@The Guns N Glory Show it's going to get worse with the coming assaults on the 2nd Amendment. Wouldn't it be odd to find out that the dear president of these ammo companies is a Biden supporter?
@@kengoff1333 exactly! When you have one guy being the arbiter of all ammo in America virtually, there's a real fucking problem.
Does anyone know what his politics are? I fear he's a secret Biden supporter
" Hey look a**holes , we're going as fast as we can."........
I love this guy.
@NOTREALLY HANKAARON Social distance. That's the only thing that really works.

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON this video is about making ammo not virtue signaling, head over to CNN to get your fill of virtue signaling and patriot bashing
@@RechargeableLithium nobody has got the flu this year.. it disappeared, apparently covid was the cure
Appreciate your Honest response to this situation! Thank you very highly!
I just want to say thank you for your good work and keeping the manufacturing in America. 👍
I, for one, would like to take this opportunity to thank you and EVERY SINGLE FACTORY WORKER in your employ, who show up to work everyday to try and meet this new overwhelming demand....I appreciate your efforts and maintain the faith in your resolve to meet that demand.... you guys ROCK! ❤👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Brother, I get it. My dad taught me that the good times are when you prepare for the bad. No issues here. Ill pick up some plinkers when the market flattens.
Keep making more, we as legal citizens will need it.
Thank you and your team!
cool beans, a no bullshit boss in the house
Dam...straight up...take it for what it is...these are the facts....so much for the youtube hero’s who think they know-it-all...but they will be making videos of this video to predict what we all ready know.
And not a suit.
All I ever wanted or needed was the cold, hard truth. There it is.
I respect this man 100%
Yep
@NOTREALLY HANKAARON what I ment is HE is not a suit.
Everyone of us should give a thumbs up to this video to show every employee there how much we appreciate them.
Fuck him and his bitching. You would think the fat bitch would be grateful for the business....yet the first thing he does is tell his customers he's tired of the complaining. Fuck federal and fuck him
I'm a firm believer in the old saying that opinions are like butt holes, most everyone has one, so regardless of your opinion of him, I said we need to show our appreciation to his employees.
@@japtablet3090 they are not shipping it to customers so they can make all they want it wont do us any good
Thank you for your hard work! We are very thankful for your products.
Great Video! Thank you and your employees for all your hard work.
Damn it! As if federal doesn’t get enough of my money this guy comes out making me like him! Now I got to buy even more FED ... Don’t let the second amendment down Federal
Lol what ammunition? He can show them making ammo but the fact of the matter is the shelves are still empty and have been empty for months.
NICELY PUT! ☺️👏🏽
@@suntzu4691 remember when the shelves started going empty? About the time when the riots across the country picked up. Keep in mind that the riots weren't just contained to one or two major cities, but happened all across the county reaching down to smaller towns. And the destruction was widely shown on tv and social media. As a result, many who didn't own a fire arm before ran in masses to the gun stores. Combine this with the fact it was happening congruent with the build up to a major election, its very believable that the ammo factories can be (and are) in high gear and yet still the shelves can be empty. Also, panic buying only keeps the demand high and increases the amount of time the shortage will last. Thats not to say don't go buy ammo, but maybe if you have a decent supply already, you pass on a couple boxes at the store so that the next guy can get some.
@@suntzu4691 I'm finding ammo fine. I just bought 2k rounds of 556 and 1k rounds of 9mm.
@@seanwatts392 Let me guess, you bought it online for a ridiculous price and the order wont be filled for several months (they dont tell you that part though). Unless you've found the magical ammo supply that no one else, except you, has found.
You folks are going “balls to the wall”, God bless you all. Like someone said, it’s the shit paper hoarders and the scalpers. But I could use some primers. Just keep up the good work!
R&D Tower Berlin, Amen Brother, trying to get primers and some powders for reloading has been hard. I can name more than a few scalpers on the web. I'm sure you can too. It just means that when things settle down, I hope people REMEMBER the Scalpers and don't support them.
Primers! Buddy, get at back of the line! I was here first! 🤪😜😊
@@Thwarptide
We are all here first, to back the second!
I'd almost eat a turd sandwich for a case of small rifle primers right now...
@@tmorg1029 if their prices are too high don’t buy their product. Nobody is being forced to buy ammo or guns. This happens each election and when someone does something stupid.
Thank you for supporting our needs and keep it coming God be with you and all of us Patriots
Just want to thank you all for your hard work!
110% RESPECT & admiration for this messgae, bout time a company says what needs to be said. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey man thank you for this video and communicating directly with us consumers. Much appreciated.
Thanks for all you do, never believed you weren't making it just as hard as you can go.
Everyone I know in SC really appreciates all your & your employees efforts. Keep up the good work producing, in my opinion,world class ammo made in the good ole US of A!!!
He later said they are increasing prices not manufacturing capacity. Then what we have now. I call BS on ammo companies.

Your PSA (public service announcement) was much needed to explain the shortages people are experiencing. Please understand when the truth is not there folks will fill the space with rumors and falsehoods. Thank you for stepping up and telling us what is happening.
This increased my trust in Federal CCI and the other companies. Thank you so much for making this video
Not saying he's lying, but that's all it took for you to bite hook, line, and sinker? A feel good CZcams video. Wow.
He full of shit!
They're simply not shipping the ammo out!
The Anchorage Walmart received '1' fifty round box of 22lr yesterday and two cases of 12ga target loads!
Their shelves are almost empty!
ADK is lying out of their ass!
They're not shipping civilians shit!
@patrick henry time to raid government warehouses?
It is technically the publics ammo!
We paid for it!
@@kennykash6089 Exactly. It doesn't matter how many you see on the video, its how many get loaded in trucks and delivered to the shelves of stores.
Thank you for this. No anger or hate here! I’m no conspiracy theorist; I’m a hunter and glad you keep the quality we hope for. Appreciate the update.
Thanks for the update. Been using your products for decades . Thanks for all the hard work.
Someone get this man a beer and a steak for setting the record straight.

Yeah, clarifying that his demand bump (700 million) is what it is. Which is 7% of last years production.
Yup, no more questions..
Get him half of one for telling half-truths.
