And that is a shortage on nitrocellulose. Nitrocellulose is a compound that is used in the making of ammunition, all small arms from your ammunition that we would love to buy every day to rockets and mortars and the like. And there are several reasons why this shortage has been exasperated. How do we know this Jared? Well, on the screen right now is something that’s been circulating the interwebs for two days now. And it’s a notice from Vista Outdoors who are the parent company, the owners of Alliant Powders. And what they’re telling people is due to the worldwide shortage of nitrocellulose, the Vista Outdoor Supply Agreement for the sale of Alliant Powder Canisters has been suspended for an unknown period.

At this time, we have no timetable for the fulfillment and will be canceling outstanding Alliant orders in our system. Representatives will provide updates and coordinate new orders based on availability. Now Alliant Powders is one of America’s biggest smokeless powder manufacturers. And there’s a lot of reasons we’re here. The big ones that people would immediately jump to are we Americans where our tax dollars are being siphoned from us so that we can fortify militaries in other parts of the world for actions they’re taking. I’ll leave it at that, but you know a lot of all the ordinance that we’re sending over there requires powder and that has caused a huge huge depletion of the availability in the market, which was already short as it was.

And one of the reasons it’s been really short for the last couple years is because nitrocellulose was also used in the rapid COVID tests. Think of how many of those products were made worldwide by the containers full and that depleted that availability as well. So here we are where companies that sell smokeless powder are telling people who had already had orders, no you’re not getting them. And for more other things I’ve seen around the internet and other companies in researching this the last day and a half is that some companies have had six-figure orders denied just because there’s not enough.

And unfortunately we the people who are sending all the ordinance overseas, we’re not the primary objective. It’s you know obviously to replenish military grade weapons and stuff like that. Not us, but we’re the ones who are going to need it probably sooner than later right. So if you have the opportunity buy some, if you see some yeah we know the prices aren’t the same as they were before the COOF. They probably will never be to that level again. Just wanted to bring you the the info and know for those few people who will be in the comments like you’re just fear-mongering.

It’s here, it’s been here. I waited two days to double check to make sure it’s legit and it’s legit. Alliant powders is canceling orders that came from Vista Outdoors. So you’re angry, you’re not angry with me, you’re angry with the people who are sending all of our stuff to different places causing us to have less of a supply. But yeah wanted to give you that information. Buy that ammo now. Go out buy some ammo today. Don’t forget it’s Mother’s Day so buy Mom some ammo too tomorrow and have a great day.
