Will there be a follow up to August 1’s update soon?
Any news?
Is anyone there ??
Hey guys, everything is going well. Sorry for the slow reply, we have been pulled in a lot of different directions. The wear testing is going well. We actually ran out of ammo last week, but we started up the loading machine and we are back on track. I don't think you will have to wait much longer.
What are you all seeing in terms of velocity and from what weight bullet?
Maybe November will be when we get our pistols,maybe December will be when we get our pistols or it could be the year 2021 sometime.
@racedohc around 1350fps with 240 grain projectile out of the 6.5. 1450 out of the 8.5
Hey guys, a lot of great things are happening at Auto Mag HQ. I would give you a detailed update, but I just talked to Patrick and he would like to do it personally on the forum. He should be updating you all tomorrow.
Haven’t seen update from Patrick yet!!!
I had to post this for Patrick because we wanted to get this out before the end of the day
We finally received good frames about a month ago. For liability reasons, we are required to build and fire a gun with all the new parts and improvements with a minimum of 2000 rounds fired without a safety issue. We have decided to fire a total of 5000 rounds to establish the service life of various parts. During our first test, we fired 1182 rounds and the trigger bar bent, which caused an out of battery firing. Upon investigation, we discovered that these original trigger bars (these were from original production) were made out of the wrong type of stainless steel and therefore were not hard enough, so we had to make new trigger bars out of the proper material and start over on the test. We received the new trigger bars two weeks ago and proceeded to restart the test on the same day we received them. As of Monday, we passed 3270 rounds, and the last 40 magazines fired flawlessly. The only reason we stopped was that we ran out of ammunition. We have manufactured an additional 3800 rounds we are resuming the test firing tomorrow and it should be complete by next week. Assuming we have no additional safety issues we will assemble these first 20 frames into guns and start shipping them. We have a standing order for 40 frames every two weeks and the next batch of 40 should arrive next week.
