New ammunition plant announced

[hornadylnl]

It is about time capitalism showed its face. With demand so high, I was stymied as to why no one was opening new plants, or at least why no one was announcing new openings or expansions.

Hopefully, we'll see more of this and at some point have a glut, driving prices down.
All I know is that at some point, people are going to have to start shooting the stuff they've stockpiled, or their wives are going to get cranky about all the ammo cans or space they are taking up.

I've got an 1800 sf basement and a 4000 sf barn. I don't think my wife has to worry about how much room my ammo takes up.

good deal. i lived in lumberton for 4 years; that town could use the jobs.

Please tell where Lumberton, is..... What large city, is it close to ?????

It'll be nice to have another plant.

Isn't Lumberton where Mike Jordan's father was killed?

about 30 miles south of fayetteville/ft. bragg

Isn't Lumberton where Mike Jordan's father was killed?

yes, he was killed just south of town.

and, from upthread, there is an elkay facility in lumberton, but it is not the corporate headquarters.

Wish some of these companies from blue states would come to ga.

Phew.......for a second I thought I was in trouble with the wife for stockpiling....good thing I got rid of her, now I can stockpile as many ammo cans as I want.

Thanks hoosierdaddy, been through there many times on the way to visit my parents.

I've also wondered why new gas refiners haven't sprung up too for similar reasons.

They are. The Dakotas are sprouting refineries thanks to the new oil deposits found there.

If that giant Canadian pipeline project (Keystone, was it?) ever gets approved, you'll probably see more built again. I don't know much about the industry, but I'd guess its a lot tougher to get the logistics up for a refinery over a regular manufacturing plant. The pipelines and whatnot to feed it, plus the Not In My Backyard crowd and environmental regs, tough to do.

Unfortunately, the NIMBY crowd has expanded to consider anywhere on the face of the planet their 'back yard'. Hopefully it will happen, but it will be an uphill battle, especially with the Kenyan's crew turned loose in government like small children in a candy shop.
