Smith & Wesson-is running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages.
RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days.
FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1.
Remington-Maxed out!
Armalite: Maxed out.
DPMS: Can’t get enough parts to produce any more product.
COLT: Production runs increasing weekly…bottle necked by Bolt carrier’s.
LWRC:Making only black guns, running at full capacity…can’t get enough gun quality steel to make barrels.
Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind.
AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/ of 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly monthly [-Ed]. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line.
MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon.
RELOADERS… ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra’s for reloading purposes… it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news, but now we know what to expect in the coming months. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted… [source]

More stats from the Guns and Ammo article:
Stag Arms reported two years of back orders on its rifles, prompting the company to not accept any new orders
Smith & Wesson reports $332.7 million in backlogged orders—nearly double its backlogged orders in 2011
Springfield Armory also pledged to boost production through outside vendors and its own facilities.
I’m highly skeptical of this report, because I can’t make the numbers for ammo production work:
Last time I checked US ammo production was around 12 billion rounds per year. Per Wikipedia (didn’t check the source), in 2007 Lake City produced 1.4 billion rounds (don’t know if all its production is counted in the former number). There’s no way to square those numbers with 1 billion per week or even 1 million, which would be 365 million annually.
If the industry production plus the Lake City seconds that ATK happily sells to us were that high we wouldn’t be having such a extreme and what looks to be a long term shortage.
Good catch – looks like a billion rounds monthly would be closer to the actual fact.
A certain Redneck Engineer challenged me to make my rifle go “BANG” by Memorial Day…
I’m sure I’ll have finished milling the receiver by then, but getting the parts to put in it may prove difficult (or expensive).
Parts be gettin’ mighty scarce.
