Components Stock Outlook for Next Week.

 This short note is from my main components source. Since Jerry NE went-er was run out of business I was forced to find new sources. However they don't carry what Jerry's had.

 Attached is the items currently available to sell. If it is not on this list, we do not have it.

Incoming so far in March has been very solid and we have processed quite a few backorders. However, we have not made enough progress to change the status of primers or powder backorders at this time. We will continue to evaluate and let you know through these email updates when this changes for powder/primers.

Yep that's it and the attached page was 3/4 filled with components of which 1/3rd is plastic ammo boxes.

I have some items here, no primers a little powder and bullets.

See picture for upcoming O'Biden policies.

Regards Bill

Leaders in firearms & Powder sales

Comments in RED are mine.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Alan Korwin
While "news" reports are often filled with studies of top brands for consumer items from soft drinks to cars to computer gear, firearms are virtually never covered as a financial matter. This despite the fact that the shooting sports, a term you just don't see in the "news" is the #2 participant sport in the nation (behind exercise equipment and ahead of golf -- a sport you see covered to excess).
Southwick Associates has completed an extensive survey of the top brands in the shooting sports. It is part of a 238-page report that received so much coverage you have never even heard of it. Are you using the top brands? Here they are:


Top rifle brand: Remington (17.5% of all purchases)

Top shotgun brand: Remington & Mossberg (virtual tie with 21.5% of all purchases)

Top muzzleloader brand: Thompson Center (31.9% of all purchases) (The most expensive are the break open styles ) I can't sell one to save my life, most guys are either purchasing used Omegas or new CVA's

Top handgun brand: Sturm Ruger (16.7% of all purchases)

Top scope for firearms: Bushnell (17.1% of all purchases)

Top rifle ammunition brand: Remington (25.3% of all purchases) (WHY? that is never my favorite ammo)

Top shotgun ammunition brand: Winchester (31.9% of all purchases) ( AA's for clay target shooters??

Top handgun ammunition brand: Winchester (22.0% of all purchases)

Top blackpowder brand: Pyrodex (38.7% of all purchases)(? I'd say Triple 7)

Top balls, bullets, or shot brand: Hornady (28.4% of all purchases) (Wonder how many bullets are cast?)

Top reloading bullet brand: Hornady (31.7% of all purchases)

Top reloading primer brand: CCI (38.2% of all purchases) (Usually the easiest to find)

Top reloading powder brand: Hodgdon (37.8% of all purchases) (Well I hope so, they own IMR,GOEX,Hogdon & I think Winchester)


Top binocular brand: Bushnell (33.6% of all purchases)

Top holster brand: Uncle Mikes (19.0% of all purchases)

Top knife brand: Gerber (15.0% of all purchases)

The shooting sports are a significant contributor to the U.S. economy, but you wouldn't know it if you follow lamestream reports. Archery and hunting gear are also covered, see for yourself:

I have to ask why are the numbers for that imported Mongolian ammo everyone is fighting to get a hold of?
 Ah, looks like I'll have to read the report.
