Steve Hornady, President of Hornady Manufacturing, addressed in a video the recent ammo shortage. (Hornady Youtube, screenshot)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ammunition manufacturers and gun makers issued statements this week assuring customers that they\u2019re working around the clock to fill orders and asking for patience as they deal with the tsunami of customer demand and the forced closure of their factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is similar to what we went through during the Obama\nyears,\u201d Neal Emery, Hornady\u2019s Communications Manager, told GunsAmerica. \u201cObviously,\nwe\u2019ve expanded our production capacity during and since that time, but the\nspeed and amount of this current demand spike is beyond what anyone can totally\nplan for. We\u2019re making and shipping as much as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve and Jason Hornady also released a video<\/a> addressing the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want you to know that we\u2019re doing everything we can to ship more, keep people in stock, and keep things moving,\u201d Jason Hornady said. \u201cWe\u2019re dealing with all the challenges that are coming at us, and there\u2019s a new one every hour. Our plan is to continue shipping and doing our best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Federal Premium\u2019s President Jason Vanderbrink posted a statement<\/a> thanking the company\u2019s workforce and telling customers his staff is \u201cworking around the clock to fulfill our orders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smaller ammunition companies have been hit even harder. Dan Kash, owner of Idaho-based Freedom Munitions, told customers<\/a> they are \u201cbusting butt to get everybody\u2019s orders out, but we do need your help.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company was 7,653 orders behind as of March 25. They\u2019ve\nadded at least 20 new employees to help catch up, many of whom are working\n12-hour shifts while the factory stays open 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their customer service team is working through a backlog of\n509 voicemails and 604 emails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s not important and you want to know where your ammo\nis, just please be patient,\u201d Kash pleaded. \u201cWe\u2019re going to do our best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

On the gunmaker side, several companies have announced that their facilities have closed in accordance with local shelter-in-place mandates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CZ-USA announced this week that their Kansas City facility\nwould be closed until at least April 23 to comply with the city\u2019s Emergency Order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the next 30 days, production and shipment delays are\ninevitable,\u201d the company said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cWe apologize for the inconvenience we know this\nwill cause \u2014 we hold our nation\u2019s Second Amendment rights to be sacred and are\nvery concerned about the impact that emergency orders will have on our\ncustomers. We will work diligently to deliver products as soon as legally\npossible while maintaining social responsibility and compliance with government\norders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo shut down Remington\u2019s factory in Ilion last week, and the company\u2019s CEO Ken Darcy responded<\/a> with an offer to help manufacture medical equipment during \u201cthis very difficult crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRemington products have served in every major U.S. conflict\nfor 200 years, and while the coronavirus is a new type of war, we\u2019re not sitting\nthis one out,\u201d Darcy said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are left with 1-million square feet of available manufacturing distribution space in Ilion, New York, the birthplace of Remington\u2026 We are standing by, ready, willing, and able to support in any way we possibly can. It would be an honor for our company to donate space for the manufacture of mission-critical products such as ventilators, hospital beds, or anything else deemed necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
