http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2013/01/update-status-of-gun-industry.html snip Smith & Wesson-is running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages. RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days. COLT: Production runs increasing weekly...bottle necked by Bolt carrier's. Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind. AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/ of 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line. MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon. RELOADERS... ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra's for reloading purposes... it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news, but now we know what to expect in the coming months. Stay tuned, we'll keep you posted... FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1. Remington-Maxed out! snip more at the link

They will steal the lead weights from your car tires.

I should probably put it in the garage before someone decides it's worth the effort to pick it up and carry it away.

I hate having the mailman/UPS/Fed-Ex people drive up the hill and have to walk to the door in the snow. One hernia per person is enough without slipping and sliding.

I ordered 5000 wad cutters/semi wad cutters in various calibers this year, all at decent prices. As soon as the snow melts off I'm off to the range.
