This is gonna hurt - Dino11 - 06-20-2022
It must be true... I read it on the internet.
But all things aside the source is pretty good, and this has happened before.
And the .gov called Trump a liar when he spoke out about it.
They had plenty of time to get it stocked up, but nooo they let it run out and now the civilian market is going to suffer. A 30% suffering, that's a pretty good hit for the most popular rifle in the US. The price is going to go through the roof over this.
Maybe the 223/5.56 folks holding out getting a 6 ARC because they say their is no ammo available will reconsider.

This is going to hurt. And who are they going to hit next.

There is a 6/16/22 post followup authored by the same guy on TTAG:

BTW, the current contract was put in place 2020, and runs for 7-8 years. So it's possible that this demand is outside of that contract... guess we'll see.
Not that laws/contracts have stopped the current regime/oops-I mean admin. ever...
