Is it raw materials? Steel? cuts and dies? What makes it so hard to make these electrical parts?
as usual it’s not just one thing. Specific to the 320/400 meter pans I have been told that milbank can’t get the resins for the socket. Who knows if that’s true but it’s a mess right now.

unfortunately a big factor is hoarding and reselling (similar to what happens when there’s a run on ammo)

That’s not true, and the resins haven’t been a shortage issue in the last 6 months.

Milbank dug themselves a hole, and aren’t willing to get themselves out of it by restricting orders. They have told me the demand for 320 meters is higher than ever and they keep taking any order thrown at them
