    Starting a business to make primers?

    Is there anyone who can set up a business to legally make and sell primers? I would be interested in participating.

    FLAG ammo and primers on Armslist as over priced or scam. Armslist will take the listing down. I'm all for guys selling their stuff but these greedy pirates are hogging up primers and ammo so you can't get it other than from them. Not right.

    I have stopped shooting recreationally since the end of the summer. I have a laser for dry fire practice and 22 if I just need to get out for a few shots. I am not about to pay those prices and current situation or not, at some point that bubble is going to pop. Eventually there is going to be plenty of cheap ammo, reloading components, and never fired "used" firearms.

    I have visited a few places that make compounds like they would use in primers. Highly volatile compounds. The buildings all have very thick walls and thin metal roofs. Designed to direct all the force of a mistake straight up.

    Everything electrical is explosion proof and very expensive.

    Yeah, it is NOT cheap to setup. Not remotely as easy as bullet manufacturing or even a reloading operation. Pretty much as difficult as powder manufacturing.

    Yeap, and that setup is to contain the damage and injuries to just THAT cell.

    Small LGS are paying close to top $ ,for mdse they can actually get . ( As opposed to indefinite backorders from usual distributors .)

    Part of the problem is as listed in the one ad. He is selling figuring he can replace later at regular price. Adding to the problem that he might get caught up in.

    Maybe he will or maybe he will not.

    That is the question.

    I prefer to have primers than to take a chance.
