"Lake City is one of the biggest manufacturers of AR-15 ammo in the US. I have a few thousand rounds of their 5.56 stashed away here. It's all over my gun circles that they just announced a total, immediate stop to all civilians sales of AR ammo. It's all military orders, now."

"According to multiple news sources, the Lake City ammo plant has cancelled all of its commercial contracts.
This means that stores will no longer be able to purchase ammo from Lake City, which currently supplies 30% of the civilian market for 5.56 ammunition.
The Lake City ammo plant is owned by the US Government, but operated by Olin Winchester. Winchester produces ammo and sells it to the government."

"As of today (6/16/22), this is being “considered”, and not in effect. However, there are rumors that the plant is already halting sales to the civilian market in preparation for the “rule” to be enacted."
