Goodbye to Federal branded Lake City

[spqrzilla]

Winchester (Olin Corp) starts operating the Lake City plant next year, so I expect the Lake City headstamp Federal 5.56mm to disappear soon.

Hasn't Olin already been making MIL 5.56 and NATO 5.56 for NATO since the late 80's or early 90's in Israel?
Sounds like just another contract ending and another taking over LC again.
This is not even close to the 1st time this has happened in recent years... like what 6 times since 2000? This time to modernize.
The LC headstamp may or may not disappear under new production but maybe replaced by the simple NATO symbol.
I would expect American Eagle to dry up and blow away as expected since .gov phasing out lead core ammo anyway.
