Update on my Freedom Munitions rifle ammo situation, it appears as though it was the rifle ammo that was the problem. I took out my previously malfunctioning AR with a brand new BCG & buffer/spring in reserve for when malfunctions started, to narrow it down to either extractor/chamber/buffer issue (assuming it wasn’t ammo)…and no malfunctions after 200 rounds factory ammo. This was without any cleaning from before when it was malfunctioning and the same amount of lubrication applied. So in the future I will be staying away from remanufactured rifle ammo, but will continue to give FM my $ for pistol ammo, as I haven’t had a single issue with over 2,000 rounds of their 9mm (I will be ordering some of their .38 spl this spring for summer carry practice).
They screwed up rifle ammo apparently. Ask yourself the question not if but when they could screw up pistol ammo. Something to ponder.
I had that thought as well, when it comes down to it I guess I’m more protective of my rifles than I am my glocks.
I’ve only run about 800 rounds of .223 62 grain Freedom reman through my DDM4 versus over 8K of 9MM and .40 reman through Glocks and an XD, but all of the Freedom Munitions reman I’ve bought has shot flawlessly.
I run my guns pretty well lubed, and clean them after every range visit, so I’m not sure what I’m doing right but so far I’m very satisfied with their ammo.
But like everything, YMMV.
Take care,
