Message: <blockquote data-quote="t_towner" data-source="post: 2091062" data-attributes="member: 3936">This update on production is interesting. It was emailed from a friend today.  Some of the info is widely known (i.e. magpul 1 million back ordered). If this is already posted I apologize. Also, on Friday I called DSG Arms to see where the "back order" of Pmags was located in que.  He stated they were shipping December 20th and 21st orders. I ordered on December 22nd so he said it should be within the next couple of weeks. The mags I ordered on 28th likely won't ship until end of March. Validity of info unknown:Smith & Wesson-is running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages.*RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days.*FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1. Remington-Maxed out!*Armalite: Maxed out.*DPMS: Can't get enough parts to produce any more product.*COLT: Production runs increasing weekly...bottle necked by Bolt carrier's.*LWRC:Making only black guns, running at full capacity...can't get enough gun quality steel to make barrels.*Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind.*AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/ of 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line.*MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon.*RELOADERS... ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra's for reloading purposes... it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up.</blockquote>
