MCS is a family-owned small arms ammunition producer out of Castle Rock, CO. MCS employs 41 full time employees to produce up to 200K rounds of ammunition a day. MCS immediately recognized the difficulty consumers faced in purchasing ammunition for shooting sports and they focused entirely on solving that problem. Selling direct to the consumer rather than focusing on wholesale sales quickly proved itself to be a powerful and effective solution for the marketplace. MCS discovered that they could meet the market need promptly while still earning strong margins on their products. Ammunition is a single-use product, so satisfied customers return again and again to replenish their supplies. In January 2021, MCS leased an 11,000 square foot warehouse at 607 South Gilbert Street in Castle Rock, Colorado where they process brass, load ammunition, store components, conduct extensive quality control inspections, and ship to customers. A second floor accommodates offices, a conference room, bathrooms, and a break room. In December 2021, they acquired a lease for the 5,000 square foot warehouse across the parking lot and opened a factory outlet retail store. This outlet provides in-person sales of MCS ammunition for local customers as well as a wide range of firearms and shooting sports equipment, including optics, clothing, accessories, knives, reloading supplies, eye and ear protection, non-lethal self-defense tools, range bags, gun cases, safes, and nutritional supplements. The core of the business remains the manufacture of ammunition, which accounts for 90% of sales. The most popular product is 9mm, followed by .45 and .380. These products provide profit margins of 15 to 35%. Harder to find 10mm and .357 ammunition can yield 100% to 200% profit margins but getting the components to manufacture the product can be difficult, and MCS is continuously adding to the calibers we produce to meet market demands and expand our expertise. Most recently, we have begun producing .223 and .300 blackout, which are two very popular rifle rounds with significant profit margins.
