⚡️⚡️🇺🇸 Advanced Armament Company (AAC), a Lexington, South Carolina-based ammunition manufacturer has laid off all staff and formally closed their doors effective immediately. Citing that they can no longer competitively manufacture 100% American-sourced ammunition due to all the quality manufactured gunpowder and American-sourced brass casings for ammunition being diverted to the U.S Armed Forces.

AAC was established in 2021 as a ‘speciality competition, high-quality, match-grade ammunition manufacturer’ and quickly grew from a 12-worker company to nearing 100 workers in just under 4 years.

With AAC’s closing, Americans can expect a spike of anywhere from 10% to 30% price hikes for common calibers such as 9mm, 5.56/.223 NATO, etc; and upwards as a 50% spike in cost for niche match-grade calibers.
