[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is the "IMI Systems" same quality as the old IMI?

Posted: 10/20/2016 6:31:40 AM EDT

So it looks like our beloved IMI was sold to a private company.

Does anyone have feedback yet on changes that IMI Systems may have made?

I have some on the way and HOPE that it's the same that were are already aware of.

It will not affect anything on the US consumer end. Ammo will stay the same.

I noticed the change in the box design with a recent lot of 855 I purchased. Haven't shot any yet so I sure hope it's still the same quality

I bought a bunch of the "IMI Systems" lot 235/G. Shot about 1500 rounds 5.56/223 mix and no problems so far. Nothing scientific, but seems more accurate than PMC 223 and AE 5.56. About same accuracy as PPU 5.56.
