Lapua temporarily delays production of certain brass types

Forum Boss: Folks,

I have just discussed this with Lapua representatives. Production of certain types of brass is being temporarily suspended so that the production lines can produce more 5.56 and 7.62 NATO brass for military. When the military requirements are met, brass types listed will go back into production, probably in 2023.

But the US producers are also doing the same, right now they all are working hard to produce brass/ammo for the Ukraine situation. Part of the reason for shortages in your local gun store and on line sales.

^^^^THIS^^^^^ Others will come in where the market demand is there. U.S. manufacturer's gain, Lapua's loss, economics 101.

None of the sites you listed above have 222 Rem Lapua brass in stock and I don’t see any in this forum for sale.

Biden sent thousands of AR rifles and Nato has sent thousands of AR's as well. Zelensky confiscated all the AK's in fear of an uprising against him.

Where have you seen this? I've not seen a single report of ARs and 5.56 being sent there. Why would anyone, and why would they want them? Ukraine as a former Sovbloc country has retained AK series rifles, Soviet designed machine guns and their 7.62X39 and 7.62X54R cartridges, plus 12.7mm etc. I've no doubt, some AR types and/or 7.62 DMR rifles have been sent for use by Ukraine's special forces, but not in numbers for the majority of forces.

Your own NT Times reports that Ukraine is desperately seeking AKs and ammunition for them. Finland (a user of an AK based rifle system) is helping out it's reported, and the US government and other Nato countries are trying to find surplus AKs in suitable quantities worldwide to buy and supply, but with considerable difficulty.

If Nammo Oy is supplying large amounts of 7.62X39 / X53R, which Lapua is tooled up to make in quantity, this may of course be the reason for the suspension of production of other types of case. It won't account in the slightest degree though for any shortages of 223/5.56 or any other cartridge in the US. After all, the great and ongoing shortages of both ammo and components long predate 24.02.2022 when Putin's 'special military operation' commenced.
