    Reports from TOS was lack of crimp. I'd have to see some myself to be sure.

    I'd gladly buy it all up at discount and crimp it on my Dillon.

    That was my experience as well. It was the case neck mouth that seemed to hang up on my non-M4 ramp'd upper.

    They are lacking in the crimp dept.

    The only good thing is when I sent that 2k of UMC back is that they reimbursed me at the retail price and I bought it for quite abit less at Wallymart so i made money. I then went back to another Wally and bought moe UMC from a different lot. It is sad when the ammo situation we are in had made UMC "Good Stuff"!

    Just curious, does the M16A4 have the cuts or are they using a totally different flat top for the rifle?

    The few M16A4s I've seen had rifle bbl extensions and non M4 ramped upper receivers. These were FNs that I saw.

    Any thoughts on a Ramped or non-ramped receiver for a Noveske barrel?
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    Thanks for the info about the UMC issues. I've shot S&B, Winchester White Box, and Federal XM193 with no issues. I've got some Fiocchi to try too. I'd stick with the XM193 and Winchester if I could get enough of it.

    IIRC all AR15 barrels from Noveske are M4 ramped.
