Well, I tried to get you guys in on the ground floor, but the cat is out of the bag now.

And now you have your answer.  According to the article, they've already spent $100 million, and that's using an existing facility already set up for manufacturing ammo and components. They have yet to make the first primer there ...

At, say $40 a thousand, a man would need to produce several primers to recoup that investment. That's how money is made though. You either need to know something nobody else knows or be willing to do something nobody else is willing to do.

Maybe the trick is to set up shop in Vietnam inside a couple of shipping containers. No big problems with permits or hazmat requirements. No problem with keeping the floor flooded, at least for most of the year. Shipping containers are easy to replace as they're blown up.....

Hell, if you all are that desperate for primers, rebuild used ones. Find your self some nitric acid, set up a mini distillery of sorts, fume it, cool it, capture it n dry it. If you do your part, you'll have RDX compound in your filter. Paste a tiny mix, put the anvil in, let dry and your done. Thats a VERY basic description out of some reading material any SHTF enthusiast should have laying around.   Hi home land

I thought of this thread when I read articles about this kid today.  He's on to something that would be far more profitable than primer manufacturing ...

He has a rewarding future ahead.  Pretty much a genius.
