Big Green Is Back: Remington Ammo Plant Working 24/7
I’m salivating watching the video!
American Rifleman – Remington Ammunition is back in operation, and its new president, Jason Vanderbrink, addresses consumers straight from the factory floor in his latest “Where’s the Ammo?” video above.
“Today, we’re in our American manufacturing facility in Lonoke, Ark.,” Vanderbrink said. “You’ll see that Big Green is back and stronger than ever.”
Following Remington Outdoors’ bankruptcy in 2020, Vista Outdoor, parent company of Federal Premium, purchased the Remington ammunition facility in Arkansas, along with most of Remington’s trademarks. Immediately following the acquisition, Vista sent a number of experienced managers down to the Lonoke facility to get production back on track.
The lack of consistent production at the Remington ammo plant is considered one of the elements in the perfect storm of supply chain issues that have plagued the ammo market through 2020 and into 2021.
“You know what? I am sick and tired of not being able to find Remington ammunition on the shelves,” he said. “We are fixing that. American manufacturing is about to roar, and Remington ammunition is back.”

LET’S HOPE AMMO COST GOES BACK TO NORMAL TOO.
Remington is the smallest of the big producers, but this will make a big difference in the supply problems.
Everyone see’s what happens on a major metropolitan highway system on a federal and state highway on holidays when about 10% of the traffic is government workers who have the day off. Traffic goes from deadlocked to nearly free flowing.
The contribution of Remington being back online will make a big difference. My problem has been getting 7 1/2 primers that I use in 17 Hornet. But I have a couple K on the shelf and won’t need them for about six months or so.
Yes, please flood the market with ammo
I just want small pistol primers
Good news I guess, but Remington has produced absolute shit for decades. My stuff is all well over 30 years old, thank God.
I honestly can not believe what happened to them.
oh man! ammo porn!
(I hope their hiring process is top-notch. can see marxist saboteurs trying to infiltrate for nefarious purposes)
I need 50rnd boxes of 45ACP back at reasonable prices. Can’t even find brass and bullets to reload
In January 2020 you could get a box of 9mm, 1000 rounds for $199. It’s over $900 now. 😵 I’m sure our Resident will pull an 0bama on the ammo industry.
A box of 50 .45ACP 240grain ought be $10.00.
Imagine: 4,000 workers were hired to produce ammo.
Being Bidena and Harris are now America’s #1 and 2 gun salespeople (obama is a runner up nowadays), get out there and buy your ammo!
All I want is a measly 30,000rds. of .223! 😎
I stopped shooting for fun back in the O’bola days.
I only shoot now to kill something.
We, my Brother, Phil, and I used to get 300 rounds a piece of 12 gauge clay busters and a box of clays a piece. We had some grand times. Shoot all day until our shoulders were busted from throwing clays, and sore from recoil.
Grand times.

Google ammo sales Rancho Cordova. Two pop up. Don’t go to ammo depot. Call the other one, a division of LA Ammo, and check availability. Odds are you will need to purchase 500 rounds, but they’ve been fair with their pricing considering. They’ve kept me putting shit down range through this bull shit.
While they’re at it, can they do something about lumber prices?
Heck!
I can’t even get powder, caps, and balls for my blackpowder pistol!
What the heck?
