    "Defense and heavy industry conglomerate Czechoslovak Group (CSG) announced it has signed an agreement with American Vista Outdoor (Vista) to purchase the latter's ammunition division Sporting Products"

    You can google it and read the story.

    foreign market has taken over usa ammo.
    not a good sign for americans to be self sufficient in time of war.
    remember folks, commies do everything slow, so no one notices it.

    The purchase includes 40 different companies owned by Vista. Everything from ammo to bicycles. An all cash sale by a company that is the 4th largest ammo producer in the EU. The ammo in the sell is Federal, Remington, B&P, CCI (components), but I didn't see Alliant on the list. 1.9 billion is a chunk of change.
