PRODUCT UPDATE – Intermediate Cartridge Magazine (ICM) Our 6mm ARC Magazines have quickly become the gold standard for 6mm ARC thanks to bombproof construction, reliable feeding, and full Mil-Spec compatibility. Built from the ground up with Special Operations Forces in mind, we’ve improved our production process to meet soaring demand—lowering costs without sacrificing quality. These industry-leading magazines will now be more accessible than ever, and new testing has shown compatibility with more calibers. (22 ARC, 6.5 Grendel) Stay tuned for dealer updates and more information from our newsletter! Follow the Link for Pricing! : https://geissele.com/parts-tools/magazines/6mm-arc.html |

All the pricing, promises about reliability are irrelevant if none are available to actually purchase. We have inventory that is shipping out to our dealer network. With that being the case, we wanted to give everyone an update on the change in pricing. We will be providing more information on inventory for our dealer networks and website in the next coming weeks. Stay tuned, and be sure to subscribe to the newsletter. |

Although we have had heard great feedback with Supers and Subs in our 8 and 15 round magazines, we are still testing our larger capacity ones. So although we cannot recommend them beyond those capacities at this time, that could change. |

Would Geissele be up to reserving up to 5 mags for new GFR owners? We could send a pic of our serial number to a Geissele sales rep as validation and reserve the mags. I personally would like to buy at least QTY 8 to QTY 10 20 round mags as a starter pack; enough for a carrier, battle belt load out and a decent range day. Thanks in advanced. |

We greatly appreciate our GFR owners, but with thousands of owners, we would have to extend that to every owner. Even with the next batch of magazines being released, we fear that reserving magazines in this manner could become logistically impossible. With that being said, we are working around the clock to generate as much inventory as possible, so that users have the best chance to get magazines instead of releasing only a few at a time. You will see dealers start to have them in stock, when we have more firm dates for our webstore we will be happy to let you know! |

Open the box and i guess they no longer come with a magazine? 3300$ rifle with no magazine is a bit insane. The I go to buy some and there are none to be found. I now have a 3300$ paper weight. Do better geissele. Unhappy to say the least |

Unhappy to say the least That’s what’s has made me hold off from buying one, and there aren’t really any rifles in stock. Unless I see consistent stock in mags from geissele I am not dropping 3,000 plus on a rifle. All the other currently available 6mm arc magazines are just not consistently reliable in my experience. G usually has good stock and isn’t like a knights but the 6mm arc rollout is not what I expected from G. |
| All th GFRs have been out of stock for months. I have entered my email for re-stock notifications and check the site every day but so far nothing has been re-stocked. Fingers crossed that the long-rumored ambi lower will be released soon! It is frustrating to wait and wait with no idea when this will be available. |

The GFR does take a little more time to assemble and QC compared to the Super Duty. We have GFRs and ICM Magazines on the way out to dealers. Once we get more information we will make sure you guys know! Our goal is to get alot of inventory out in the next wave! |

For full transparency, we did have magazines shipping to dealers. With the incredible demand, we did not want them being bought up in small amounts and resold. Could we have communicated that better? Absolutely. We are working closely with our Orders team, we now have a large amount of them ready to go! |

That’s great and all but why are you no longer shipping a magazine with the gfr? The whole point of the gfr is to use it as a complete system with the icm mags. For what yall charge and not including a magazine is just greedy. Luckily I FINALLY found some. |

It’s good feedback, but I think users forget the challenges of shipping GFRs to different states with magazine capacity limitations. The GFR building process is much more in depth than the Super Duty. Also users have many different uses for the GFR. Some want a GPR in 6mm ARC, some want to hunt which can bring in mag limitations, some are bench shooters, other competitions. It’s more complicated than some think. With that being said maybe there is something we can do for GFR users, we are always looking to improve. |

Are gov entities still using it and plan to use it? Personally, what holds me back from getting a gfr is magazine availability and will this cartridge be around long enough for me to justify the investment (the purchase price for a gfr , for me is not chump change), I know that the latter part is not something g can control but any information you can share would be appreciated. I love the round but currently the rifle build I have, the magazines ( not g mags) are the weak link. |

I love the round but currently the rifle build I have, the magazines ( not g mags) are the weak link. These are great questions! Is the 6mm ARC here to stay? We strongly believe so, in addition to Geissele, countless manufacturers this year at SHOT Show (Some of which own or collaborate with ammunition manufacturers) have released 6mm ARC variant Rifles. We are finding the ammunition more consistently on shelves, and different loads are being developed. 80 gr. V-MAX is out, and hopefully we start to see an economy of scale with ammo prices. For those that like .22 ARC and 6.5 Grendel you now have a magazine that works for those platforms as well. We believe in the caliber enough to invest HEAVILY into our magazine production, which was able to drive down costs. We cannot speak to our Government contracts, but when you have a rifle and caliber like this, organizations take notice. There are many on ARFCOM, Reddit, and X, that might be able to give you more details. |

Also for that are wondering we are seeing some ICMs hit dealer shelves. Euro Has 15 and 20 rd magazines https://www.eurooptic.com/search?term=ICM%20 |
| Nashville Plow Works is currently showing 20's in stock. Ordered a few. I just saw a Reddit thread saying Primary Arms had them yesterday at some point for $37/ea. I am signed up for notification there but never got one. NPW's shipping rates aren't cheap and they are retail, but I've been watching for them since June... |

I didn't find my 30 round ICM mags liked Hornady 108's. 14.5 GFR rifle, Hux can. Lots of nosedives and broken off bullet tips. Back to duramag 15's for now. My GFR is super reliable, too. Only jams ever were with these 30's. I bought 10 and at least 2 of them do it, and I'm not blowing $45 in ammo to test a mag over and over again. |

Whether it feeds or not, who knows but a 20 round straight mag looks damn sexy! |
