@pantera-mike I have a North Hollywood Automag that both my magazines were tight and what I found to be the problem was that the magazines were twisted during the welding process. I made up an aluminium tool to put on one end and the bottom end in a vise and carfully twisted them back into shape. I accidentaly discovered that when I layed one on a flat surface and noticed that they rocked a bit. They go in and drop out perfectly now. I also have a Founders edition, FE-34!
I have noticed that while shooting the Raven that the ejected brass sometimes comes straight back towards my head. Eye protection is a must.
How glock-like 🤣

@michael-manicke Great info, thank you for sharing!
I am quite sure assembly progress is coming right along, and it’s great that production is fully in house to my understanding. Would anyone have an idea where they are in production sequence, meaning whats the latest AutoMag s/n that has been shipped?

Unfortunately it’s not so simple. Due to parts shortages the orders aren’t exactly being filled in sequential order. For instance, for awhile they only had 6.5 inch barrels, so if that’s what you ordered, you got your gun long before somebody else who ordered his gun months or years before you, but specified an 8.5 inch barrel, which was temporarily unavailable.
Consider that you can get 6.5 and 8.5 inch barrels, either polished or unpolished, along with ravens which are black (I think only 6.5 inch?). So that’s five different models, essentially.

@pantera-mike ok Mike, thanks for the info, one of these days, it’s gonna be an awesome day at the range.
My wife ordered my Raven in early January 2022 and I received it a couple of weeks ago. I ordered my High polished 8.5 inch in Nov 2020 and am still waiting for it.
Maybe I should have had my wife order the High polish 8.5 inch one as well…hmm. Lol
I ordered a 8.5" brushed 4/22, I guess a have a long wait coming. Maybe I should of went with the Raven. Hahaha
I ordered a high polish 8.5" in March of 2021... waiting patiently. I want it done right, not fast.
Well, after minor issues getting my shipment from the exporter, she is finally here! I feel pretty lucky finally squeaking this in; the importers have shut down future imports with the looming federal handgun ban... Shameless pic over in the photo thread. Now to jump into the bucket of virgin Starline brass, and find my way to the range 😎
^^ That is really cool! I'm so pleased you got it before the gates closed.

Congratulations! So glad you made it under the wire! Can’t wait to hear your range report!
