I wonder how much those agreements are really worth as you are competing directly with the US government? A ample war stock of properly stored small arms ammunition can alleviate much of that issue for the short term, even more so when you buy when demand is dropping. Looking at some of the modern machinery for ammo plants displayed at SHOT means building a assembly plant for ammo is much cheaper than it used to be. One machine I looked at can QC cases using lasers at around 100 per second. The real choke point will be primer manufacture as the compounds are not the friendliest to work with. Mind you a million primers is about 1 40' container
