I was down at McAlister OK last week picking up a new trailer. It was a sunny day and I thought I heard thunder, said something to the guy there and he laughed and said that was their dinner bell. He said the military ammo plant detonates bombs or ammo at noon every day at the facility. Evidently it produces something like a third of the military’s ammo and bombs on a very large piece of land. I will try to add a link.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McAlester_Army_Ammunition_Plant

Thanks Fuj, more good news. I use magtech ammo when I can find it.

Be nice if we could get some Mag - Tec primers again . Very consistent .

Brownells have had Magtec primers for awhile. I have been using them for awhile. Several other places have them right now also. I m stopping by Brownells tomorrow to pick up more

Why didn't they locate in Commiefornia or socialist New York?

 

[bluealtered]

Maybe the bribe prices they would have had to pay those states was to high?

 

[rockhound78]

Where are they supposed to locate to, in OK?

The question in my head is, Why are we locating FOREIGN companies here instead of STARTING US companies with US owners ???????? maybe I'm just a dreamer

Call the Oval Office about the Chips Act, IRA, and Tariff leveraging. In the
real world it's all run by investment groups, and holding companies and
countries that give away luxury jets.

Probably in front of a trailer park. You know…the ones that attract tornadoes. Did these guys check the weather patterns before buying land?

Pryor, Ok. Concrete buildings , should be somewhat tornado proof? Congress allowed the Fed reserve to print trillions and ship it around the world, at some point it will be used to buy U.S. soil( and fund terrorism).

I'm not sure it's 'we' who are not starting companies in the US.
But, it is a good question why a foreign company/investment group would see an opportunity vs US based ones.
That said, White River Energetics is a new US owned company that started up just a couple years ago.
