NIOA plans local Firearms Manufacturing

I think they are already making military explosives of some sort.
Well now preparing to manufacture small arms. A good thing.

Excellent news. We need to make everything here again. The government knows there will be a war with China soon so they are trying to ramp up armament.

I really want ammunition In huge numbers to be made here. Australia should be a huge arms exporter. So much money to be made and jobs to create.

Seeing the government paying $28-million for a $5-million howitzer and $25-million for 600 rifles is a good incentive for anybody to get into the armaments business.

Don't often agree with you, but this good news. Hope it comes to fruition.

Sounds to me that includes training etc, etc. Not only each rifle.

It does, and it's still ridiculous.

Yep, but who else is in the position to do it?

And the French operate ADI. Given the sub deal would you sign them up to make rifles?
