The company that drills the blanks are running 5.56 and 6.8 blanks 3 shifts around the clock. They do not want to stop and retool to drill the blanks. I waited over a year for the 264 blanks and right at a year for the 308 blanks. I think the fact that the 308s were also 1.2 material also delayed production. It wasn't because no one was interested.
They use my 5R buttons on the 5.56 and 6.8 barrels and we get shipment about every week, doesn't seem to slow them down with those 2 calibers.
7.62x39 type extractors are also tough to find or get anyone to make.
Someone was right though, we are running wide open with 5.56 and 6.8 and don't really need to sell anything else. All of the wildcat cartridges are just to keep it from being boring.
We're looking to add a few people in 2014. A programmer, shop foreman and shop hand may change things a little. We'll see what happens with supplies this year.
