Point of order...

Who has added manufacturing capacity for 22?

I have heard that the manufacturers have increased output through some increases in production efficiency and by running production lines longer hours. I don't think anyone has made recent capital investment.

Certainly agree that for a short term spike in demand there is not sufficient ROI to warrant investment.

The million dollar question (literally) - Is the spike in demand short term?

A couple tiny companies I don't recall the names of. Nobody else though.



The industry is betting and risking a fortune on it being short term and not getting bearded by a market expanding around them rather than being the expansion themselves. Hard to argue with whatever evidence they have that has lead them to that conclusion. They screw up, they stand to get slaughtered on market share over the next 5 years. If they are right, some fly by night companies will fail to materialize.

Winchester & Remington are tiny companies?

How quick every1 forgets that Win bet the farm(so to speak) and just built a new facility for current/future growth,
that should be in full swing by the end of this month.
Although we haven't had an update since 1 of the outer buildings went KB a few months ago.

As for Remington they announced some time ago their expanded capacity would be online by the summer.

It seems that ATK's the only 1 taking the cautious approach.(When U have more than 1 plant...Why the hell not?)
While not investing huge sums of capital they're employing the efficiency model.
Increasing output by streamlining Production/Packaging.
Hence the new 300 Bxs of Tacs/Choot 'ems.
Everything is placed into either a 50 or 100rd standoff/slider tray.
(No need to halt production for the changeover to bulk boxes now.)
Also explains the recent crossover in product/packaging between Fed and CCI.(Blazers, Fed Suppressor, etc.)
(Able to be run at Fed as well as CCI facilities now.)
The recent steady influx of CCI/Fed should show it's obviously working.

In summation, IMHO, the big 3 externally downplay the crisis as to not fuel the fire of panic any further,
while simultaneously trying to match output to the new demand and the inevitable taper as close as possible.(On the down low of course.)

Eventually they'll be a happy medium reached that'll suffice both sides of the coin.

God Bless and Stay Safe,

The cost of a CCI sleeve isn't worth it at Cabela's. Unless you can bundle it with one or two bricks, buying one sleeve is cost prohibitive (w/ shipping). You're better off waiting for a Gander drop.

Yep, so it just sits there, staring back at me on my wl, bundling it with the Blazers is tempting....but I just don't need anymore of those

Blazers, norma tacs, cci segmented dry box, and cci segmented are all up on WL

Anyone have the I # and v # for the segmented with dry box?

The $13.61 shipping kind of kills it for me. But, thanks for the link.

Why do people keep posting the segmented at Cabelas? Can't buy it online and won't let you add to cart.

Not who I was thinking of. I didn't know they were expanding rimfire. I thought it was center. Anyhow, I think they see a slight expansion that will be persistent on par with the increase in the active shooting population, but not inline with the surge in demand.

But whatever. Picked up segmented, and threw in a blazer and norma so I wouldn't feel too bad about the shipping. I'm only getting one Norma until I see if it is worth the premium.
