Any update on the 5.56, Mr. Beagle?

My shooting buddy and business partner, Andy, flew out this weekend to shoot a match and stopped over at our supplier's offices to check on our 5.56 order. He'll be back this week to give me more details, but from what I gather all the components are at the supplier and they're just waiting on cases (some sort of supply chain issue). I appreciate everyone's patience and will keep you posted as I get additional information.

I also found one round, what would have made the 200th, severely compromised by a bad, off-center pressing. I’ll shoot you a picture of it when I get home in a few weeks. It would probably have chambered and probably would have led to a significant failure had I not caught it (but it was very obvious when loading).

I definitely want to follow up with you when you get back and make sure that we make it right.

These reviews are really helpful in identifying what went right and more importantly what went wrong, so keep them coming warts and all and so far: 298 known working, 1 FTF, 1 off center primer.

Packaging has been the major concern and the supplier is addressing it with a higher grade of cardboard.

(I did not know this was a thing. After some research, there's apparently all sorts of litigation for companies supplying the wrong kind of cardboard and the contents getting crushed as a result. News to me.)

Keep 'em coming!

God, don't ya know that SOME in the Biden fiasco are aware of this? And that their blood pressure is going thru the roof?! I can't stop chuckling. Good job, Beagle! And Good Job, Para!! (Can't stop smiling - sorry)

I hope this doesn't come off sounding greedy, but I'm hoping this was such a success that it could be done again in the future.

Thank you again, Mr. Beagle.

EDIT: Our original supplier has a bottleneck on cases, so we exercised an options contract with a second supplier to meet our needs.

We were working the problem expecting solution by Friday, now expecting rounds Wednesday.

Good: We have all the 5.56 secured. We incurred some additional cost but there’s no price increase to you and we can absorb it.

Bad: It’s shipping to us instead of directly to you. There’s a lot of boxes coming…

Ugly: I expect it to be Monday at the earliest for us to get it shipped back out to members.

I should have a (late) update Wednesday for everyone. Again, you’ve all been incredibly encouraging and patient and I’m really looking forward to everyone getting their boxes and getting out to shoot!!

IT'S HERE!! I'm pretty sure my UPS delivery guy hates my guts, because 400+ lbs and eight cartons later, we finally have 5.56 in hand. We'll be busy breaking it down and repacking it soon, ready for your shooting enjoyment. I'm incredibly thankful for all of you supporting the group buy and stoked beyond belief that we were able to get it all in well before Christmas!!

I see light at the end of the tunnel!!

All broken down, got shipping stuff together, our FFL is handling shipping logistics for us, so expecting it to go out the door on Wednesday!! I am super, super stoked!!

Thank you Legal Beagle!!! You are our hero!!

All the labels are created and all the boxes are waiting for the big brown truck. Everyone should get some emails with tracking numbers and I hope y’all have a great weekend!!

Glad to hear it. Let's try to get out on the range with your new rifle ammo and give us some feedback before too long.

Boxes should hit porches tomorrow!!

It has been a little while and I haven’t seen a notification or update about 5.56, anybody know anything?

Give me a shout - your ammo should have arrived a while ago. I’ll help you run it to ground.

Got my 5.56 almost 2 weeks ago. Packaging was intact, no issues.

Has anyone tried the rifle ammo? I'm surprised to see no reports.

Legal Beagle, I sent an updated email a few days (11/17)ago. Please check, thanks.

Sorry for the delay but I’m on it, working with UPS to generate the label. (They were supposed to send me one, should have it sorted tomorrow afternoon [11/24].)

I had a range day seeking zero with AR’s this afternoon. 100 rounds of the 5.56 received in the Buy was used. Wish I had brought more. No issues with the ammo. Thanks again for organizing all this.

Todd

Any further reports on the performance of the rifle ammo?
