Biden Ammo Ban - Good News?

Published on October 19, 2021
Duration: 5:37

The video discusses the impact of the Russian ammunition import ban, noting that it has led to increased prices for previously cheap steel-cased ammunition. A potential positive development is Palmetto State Armory's (PSA) initiative to partner with Eastern European manufacturers to bring tooling and expertise to the US for domestic production of calibers like 7.62x39mm, 5.45x39mm, and 7.62x54R. While this is seen as good news for filling a market gap, the speaker expresses skepticism about whether domestic production will ever match the historically low prices of imported ammunition, citing PSA's past delays with firearm production as a potential indicator of challenges in establishing ammunition manufacturing.

Quick Summary

The Russian ammunition import ban has driven up prices for steel-cased ammo. Palmetto State Armory (PSA) is working to establish domestic production of calibers like 7.62x39mm, 5.45x39mm, and 7.62x54R. While this initiative is positive, it's unlikely to restore the historically low prices previously available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the impact of the Russian ammunition ban on prices?

The Russian ammunition import ban has led to a significant increase in prices for previously inexpensive steel-cased ammunition. This is due to reduced supply and increased demand for the remaining stock and more expensive alternatives.

Is Palmetto State Armory (PSA) producing ammunition domestically?

Yes, PSA is reportedly partnering with Eastern European manufacturers to bring tooling and expertise to the US for domestic production of steel-cased ammunition, including calibers like 7.62x39mm, 5.45x39mm, and 7.62x54R.

Will domestic ammunition prices match historical lows?

The speaker expresses skepticism that domestically produced ammunition will ever reach the historically low prices seen before the current import ban. While domestic production is a positive step, it's unlikely to replicate the previous cost-effectiveness.

Which ammunition calibers are most affected by the ban and potential domestic production?

The ban primarily affects steel-cased ammunition. The domestic production initiative by PSA is expected to focus on calibers like 7.62x39mm, 5.45x39mm, and 7.62x54R, which are common in Combloc firearms.
