Frequently Asked Questions

What is the impact of the Biden administration's ban on Russian ammunition?

The ban significantly impacts the US ammunition supply, especially for calibers like 7.62x39mm and 9x18mm Makarov, which are heavily imported from Russia. Prices for affected ammunition have doubled overnight, and domestic production cannot immediately fill the demand gap.

Why are certain ammunition calibers like 7.62x39mm so affected by the Russian ban?

A large percentage of the 7.62x39mm ammunition available in the US is manufactured in Russia. The ban directly cuts off this primary source, leading to immediate price increases and scarcity for AK-platform rifle owners and others using this caliber.

What is the ATF's stance on the Rare Breed Triggers FRT-15?

The ATF has declared the Rare Breed Triggers FRT-15, a forced reset trigger designed to simulate full-auto fire, as a 'machine gun.' This classification is being contested by Rare Breed Triggers, who argue it does not meet the legal definition.

Can domestic manufacturers quickly replace Russian ammunition imports?

Domestic manufacturers face significant challenges in quickly meeting the demand left by Russian imports, particularly for non-standard calibers. High costs and the time required for scaling production mean supply will be limited for years.
