Ammo supply will be caught up in June? - Page 5

64zebra · June 18th, 2009, 06:16 PM

I don't see any sign of ammo supplies increasing here
all stores carrying ammo seem to be in the same shape as they have been for 5 to 6 months

now firearms is another story, Academy had bare racks for long guns and bare shelves for handguns until 2-3 weeks ago, now they have a nice 'normal' looking stockpile, same with some other dealers here, but ammo...nope

Hang in there. I've got an order from 03-18-09 that I still don't have. 3 months and counting.

Here it is June 2009 and the ammo shelves are still pretty bare. I keep hearing predictions that they will catch up soon and that Remington and Winchester are working 24/7 but then I read that CCI and the ammo companies are laying people off. Who do you believe?

June, but what year?

Well, here's one story:
ATK layoffs | KLEW CBS 3 - News, Weather and Sports - Lewiston, ID - Lewiston, Idaho | News

and here's another:
Deseret News | Alliant denies that it's planning any layoffs

Which one do you believe?

40 S&W is picking up as well as 9 mm around here. There is some 45 ACP but the 380 is still scarce. Primers are hard to find but I am beginning to see a little bit of them. We are far from out of the shortage but I am seeing a few glimmers of light.

The one doing the layoffs is in Idaho. If you notice in the second story the guy from ATK says they don't have any planned layoffs in Utah but says nothing about Idaho. If they are laying those people off I guess they are caught up on ammo production, now they just need to release it.

Well since the quote is from a State Representative I would say that as usual, they don't know what they are talking about. I only know two that seem to be worth the paper used to elect them!

LEWISTON - ATK CCI/Speer in Lewiston is cutting about 8 percent of their workforce.

In mid-December, the company announced an indefinite period of downtime for a number of workers at the Lewiston plant. Now ATK will lay off 70 to 80 Lewiston employees in what management calls a reduction in force.

ATK spokesperson Amanda Covington said the affected employees were notified Thursday.

Covington said it's not the economy, that the company is still seeing a healthy market for ammunition sales. She said it goes back to a 2006 hiring boost, which was implemented to cover a backlog of orders for the growing company. Covington said they are finally caught up on that backlog, and no longer need those employees.

Newly-elected Republican U.S. Senator Jim Risch said Thursday he is concerned about the loss of jobs.

In a statement Risch said, "It is disappointing to hear that over 100 people are losing their jobs at CCI/Speer in Lewiston. It is imperative that the new Congress and President work quickly on ways to improve our country's business climate. We must find ways to keep companies like CCI/Speer growing and their workers employed. They are an excellent local employer and we need to move swiftly to keep these jobs that provide the income for many families in the Lewiston area."

8% Really isn't that much. If they are "caught up", how come I don't see it?
