Dear Carluncho,

Thanks for your question.  First, let me request that if any of the
following is unclear or if you require any further research – please
don’t hesitate to ask me for a clarification.

The top manufacturers of ammunition for US forces are as follows:

Alliant Technologies
NYSE::ATK

“Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK) is a supplier of aerospace and defense
products to the U.S. government, America's allies and major prime
contractors. ATK also is a supplier of ammunition to federal and local
law enforcement agencies and commercial markets. ATK designs, develops
and manufactures small-, medium- and large-caliber conventional
munitions for the U.S. and allied governments as well as for
commercial applications. The Company manufactures and develops
small-caliber ammunition for the U.S. military, U.S. allies, federal
and local law enforcement agencies, and commercial markets.”

Olin Corporation
NYSE::OLN

Olin is a diversified conglomerate – several of its subsidiaries, e.g.
Olin Brass and Winchester (should ring a bell… J) manufacture
ammunition for US forces.

“Olin Corporation is a manufacturer concentrated in three business
segments: Chlor Alkali Products, Metals and Winchester. Chlor Alkali
Products manufactures chlorine and caustic soda, sodium hydrosulfite,

A couple of major ammunition providers can’t be traded, unfortunately
– they are American Ammunition (privately held) and Israeli Military
Industries (owned by the Israeli government).


One large foreign manufacturer that is widely traded:

Singapore Technologies 

Singapore Technologies trades on pink sheets as SGGKF
As well as on international exchanges as follows:

SIJX.BE	Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd	Berlin	N/A	Add

Also, depending on what you want, think of
'which type of munition will get used most/
or largest dollar value' and also which is most
likely to be reordered during and after this.
There is some plant in OK as well as a Naval
Weapons plant in MN that I think is owned by
United Defense - was FMC.
