How low will gun and ammo prices go?

Many many moons ago

Maybe even from before the moon existed.

Antimony and Nitrocellulose have many uses above and beyond ammunition. Nitrocellulose can be produced in the US, and there are now several mines for Antimony reopening in the US since the last one shuttered in 2001. The next six months will be telltale for ammo production, as well as guns. A pro gun administration could bring about a new age in firearms advancement to produce better and less expensive firearms and accessories as well as ammunition. This assumes we do not end up at war, or a riot situation. Keep watching and if you need ammo, don't wait, just look for a lower price!

I mentioned this in another thread. China is the world’s major supplier for Nitrocellulose (gun cloth) used for ammunition “powder” and primers, and antimony used to harden lead. They placed restrictions on exports to the US and European countries (I’m guessing to aid Russia in its war effort) several months ago. The US government has made efforts to find alternative sources; Tajikistan comes to mind but alternative sources don’t match the volume supplied by China. All this is to say that I wouldn’t expect prices to significantly drop until the wars end or until the US increases domestic production.

The largest problem it was under a democratic administration working under EPA guidelines... we have Trump now, I really think that will change as it had with oil. Elon musk has his ear, there may be a "boom" in lithum mining as well.
