Remington shuts down 22LR line?

[Andrew49417]

A coworker told me today that one of his buddies back in Arkansas who works at the Remington plant said they were told to shut down the 22LR ammo production line. Can anyone verify this? Is there something sinister going on behind the scenes?

Gov't control of a free market is sinister? Been going on for years. WELCOME to America comrade

Not doubting it at the moment. Funny how you never heard of these things during the GW Bush era...

I am praying it is so they can concentrate on higher-profit centerfire ammunition like 9mm and .223. Don't even Think about reloading. There are no primers available, either.

Obama is buying it all up for his skeet shooting and all lol

Only four short months ago, I passed on buying the Federal 525 packs of .22 when they were $22, since they regularly went on sale for $18. Had I known then what I know now, I would have been buying it by the shopping cart load. Weird how things have changed so quickly.

Since this is a "I know a guy who knows a guy..." type of post, I'll reserve belief until something a little more authoritative is published. But thanks for playing!

I know. It wouldn't hold up in court. That's why I am asking for firsthand accounts or other real evidence.
