PMR-30 supply issue

[Bigtanker]

While listening to Tom Gresham on Guntalk radio today, he stated that while on a recent tour of the Kel-Tec factory, he found out that the PMR-30's can not be shipped to distributers because THEY HAVE NO AMMO TO TEST FIRE THEM. They have several thousand waiting to be tested. So as soon as the shortage slows, there will be a flood of these things on the shelves.

What a load of crap. How much ammo do they use to test fire? A case?

 

[Bigtanker]

Tom asked if he could shoot one and they said they would be happy to but they were out of ammo. They reload all of the centerfire ammo themselves but are at the mercy of the market when it comes to rimfire.

 

[dbrier]

I call BS.
You are telling me they will let thousands of guns sit in a warehouse to save a few hundred dollars?

 

[chef larry]

They should close their doors and go out of business for the lack of rimfire ammo.

 

[Bigtanker]

Towards the end is when this was discused.

.22 Magnums are nearly impossible to find on line or at the brick & mortar places.
I was told by a distributer that .22 Mag was at about the bottom of the list for ammo manufacturers to devote their time and resources to.
I have four .22 Mag guns and I won't shoot them until I can find a source to replace the ammo I'd use up.

What's the difference if they blow up at the factory or with a consumer?

Go ahead and ship them

Go ahead and ship them

You test fire them!

 

[Bang-bang]

And which Wally world? I like the pmr 30!

 

[chef larry]

Wonder if Kel-Tec would sell the unfired PMR-30's for a discounted price and include a second barrel?

 

[12many]

I will send them all of the .22wmrf that I have if they will send me one PMR30 to test fire (and keep)
