I'm hearing some rumors that an ammo manufacturer in India is exporting millions of rounds of 5.56mm ammo to the US. Anyone hear of such a thing???

Nice hole for some enterprising company or country to fill.

Last decent ammo from that part of the world was probably made in the Dum Dum Arsenal

India is corrupt to its core, no way would I trust ammo from there.

The 7.62 stuff from the 70’s was decent. The 90’s stuff was downright dangerous.
I wouldn’t buy anything from there now. |

Even worse was there were sellers at gunshows that were selling the 90s Indian ammo and calling it Australian. I ended up with 600 rounds of that stuff because I didn't think to open up the cans and check the headstamp until I got home. |

At least when you call them about an issue they have plenty of call centers.
The bad thing is any ammo hitting the shelves will get sucked up and most consumers won't care where it came from. The good news is it might allow for a little blip to help domestic mfgs to catch up some. |

Hard pass....
I guess if a purchased a cheap Bear Creek upper/lower/barrel, and dunked it in motor oil while wearing full protective gear, i would consider it. |
