Videos tagged with Ammunition Surplus

This video from Line 45 explains the current ammunition surplus, attributing it to industry overcorrection after the 2020 panic buying, increased manufacturing capacity, and a decrease in export demand due to European production. Despite full shelves, prices remain elevated due to past investments and ongoing input costs. The speaker advises smart shooters to adapt by buying in bulk during dips, considering reloading, diversifying calibers, and maintaining a disciplined 'comfort stash' rather than engaging in panic buying.

This video explains how the recent HR1 bill, by injecting billions into ammunition production and material sourcing, is poised to create a significant civilian ammo surplus. The Defense Production Act is being leveraged to boost output at facilities like the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, with historical precedent suggesting excess military production will flow into the civilian market via manufacturers like Winchester and Federal, leading to lower prices and increased availability of common calibers such as 5.56 NATO and 7.62 NATO.

The video discusses a significant surplus of small arms ammunition in the US, driven by increased production post-2020 shortage and reduced civilian demand. It highlights that despite this abundance, prices for key calibers like 5.56 NATO, 9mm NATO, and 7.62 NATO have not decreased, and in some cases have increased due to manufacturers like Winchester raising prices. The speaker suggests this is because consumers are willing to pay current prices, even with the surplus.

This video debunks predictions of an upcoming ammunition panic buy and price spike in 2025. The speaker argues that despite tariffs on imported ammunition and raw materials, a significant surplus of domestically produced ammunition, coupled with consumers already being well-stocked from previous shortages, will prevent a rush. Prices are expected to continue dropping through mid-2025.

This video argues against predicted ammo price spikes and panic buying, citing a massive domestic production surplus built over the last five years. The speaker asserts that despite tariffs on imported ammunition and raw materials, current market conditions and consumer stockpiles will prevent a repeat of the 2020 shortage. Price drops are expected to continue through Q2 2025.

The video discusses a significant drop in ammunition prices for specific calibers, including 5.56/.223, 9mm, .308/7.62, 12 gauge, and .22 LR. This price decrease is attributed to a combination of factors: overproduction by manufacturers in anticipation of demand that did not materialize, and the integration of artificial intelligence and advanced machining processes in ammunition production, rendering older stock less desirable. Manufacturers are now attempting to clear out this surplus inventory.

The video discusses a significant drop in ammunition prices observed in late February 2025. This price decrease is attributed to a massive surplus built up by the industry over four years of increased production, coupled with a recent decline in demand following the 2024 election cycle. The speaker advises taking advantage of this trend, particularly for 5.56 NATO and 9mm Luger, as prices are expected to rise again within three months.

This video discusses a significant, temporary drop in ammunition prices observed in late February 2025. The speaker attributes this to a massive production surge leading up to the 2024 election, which resulted in a surplus when anticipated demand did not materialize. The price drop is expected to last only 1-3 months, with a particular emphasis on 5.56 NATO and 9mm Luger due to their high production volume and popularity.

The video discusses a significant surplus of small arms ammunition in the United States, particularly in 5.56 NATO, 9mm NATO, and 7.62 NATO calibers. This surplus is attributed to increased production following the 2020 shortage, military contracts, and European nations taking over ammo supply for Ukraine. Despite the abundance, prices have not decreased and have even seen a 5-10% increase due to manufacturers anticipating continued demand.

The video discusses a significant surplus of small arms ammunition in the United States, particularly in 5.56 NATO, 9mm NATO, and 7.62 NATO calibers. This surplus is attributed to increased production by ammo companies following the 2020 shortage and substantial output from the Lake City Ammunition Plant, operated by Winchester for the US Army. Despite the abundance, prices have not decreased and have even seen a 5-10% increase due to manufacturers' confidence in consumer willingness to pay.

The video discusses a significant surplus of civilian ammunition, particularly 9mm and 5.56, despite a drop in prices from peak levels. Ammo manufacturers expanded production in anticipation of increased demand, especially around the 2024 election, but this demand did not materialize as expected. Consequently, prices are expected to remain stable until after the election, with a potential significant drop anticipated by Thanksgiving due to the excess inventory.

This video discusses a bill filed by Senator Marshall that aims to force the IRS to liquidate its ammunition surplus. The description frames this as a positive development that would allow citizens to acquire this ammunition, referencing a previous discussion about the IRS's alleged plan to expand and arm its agents. The "Minute Man Moment" segment is highlighted as a source for further information on how the bill could "disarm the IRS."
