Hi to all! Don pretty much has described where we are currently at in a nutshell! But, what little I have to add is as following....
At this point, I have G.T. revised the few customers drums I had in for repair, and have not yet received any range test reports, although, during bench testing, some have tried ammo OTHER than WW 115 ball target / range ammo, and so far, it simply won't work?... And to be truthful, we don't know why?.... All we can really track is OAL, and we feel that it has a lot to do with reliable drum function.. As well as reliable luger function...
I have sent the first five G.T. marked revised drums back to Numrich, and will follow with 10 more at the end of this next week! Followed by approx. 35 more end of May.... When we hit our stride we would like to be cranking out 50 G.T. Revised drums a month, but this might be hard to hit... just too many things that have to be done... Anyway, Don will be posting a picture and short description of the Drum loader assist strut so that you can see what it looks like and maybe how it functions as well....That's how its rolling here.... Best to all, til....lat'r....GT...
