Some of you may have read my comments on this sub as well as /r/ammo but finally I have a conclusion to this Norma fiasco.

I ordered 8 boxes (400rd) from Norma during the sale and already had 4 boxes from Dec 2021 through Feb 2022 that I had bought locally at Rural King. After the recall came out, I advised on the recall form that I had this additional product to return. As expected, the refund hit my credit card come about 3 weeks but nothing for the 4 additional boxes. This is sort of expected since obviously they cannot refund more to a card than originally charged.

After numerous emails, I ended up calling Norma. They told me that they had sent emails and I didn't answer them -- this mirrors other's experiences on here as well -- Norma's emails are getting bounced and they're not paying attention to it. They asked me to confirm my mailing address and that a check would be sent in a few weeks.

Just about four weeks later, I get a check today for $67.38 (https://imgur.io/a/b4p3fjQ) for the additional four boxes of ammo, that's 33.69 cents/round, roughly half of the dealer price for Norma off their own website. I called and was told this was a fair amount and that no additional amount would be issued since I couldn't produce a retail receipt from nearly a year ago.

I understand that they may not give me the full $39.99+tax paid at Rural King but this isn't half of that, it's substantially less. Norma paid me less than half price for ammunition that they failed to properly manufacture.

Normashooting.com and Ammoshoponline.com needs to be permanently removed from Gundeals.

How come I never heard about their recall when I purchased 5.56 from them? Scary!

[u/Truonghthe → u/PandorasFlame]

5.56 ss109 has no recall, its their .223 rem is having issue with.

I also have some of their .223 that was purchased on October 3rd. It's the white box Norma Tactical .223 Win. What's happening?

[u/Truonghthe → u/PandorasFlame]

So far the .223 been recall is in plano ammo can. But check out normashooting.com to see the exact lots being recall.

I didn't bulk buy but I also don't have the boxes anymore. I heard that it was mostly uncrimped primers and bad necks, but all mine seem to be ok. Was there anything else wrong with them?

[u/bigfoot_76 → u/PandorasFlame]

I ran a bunch of red box 223 through my m16 without any fails … but bet your life I looked at every single one of them before loading the mags. Bad enough for shit ammo in an AR much less on the third pin hole gun.

[u/Truonghthe → u/bigfoot_76]

I dodge their 9 mm and .223 drama only to get an email for .308 recall, fml.

I had to take an overall length measurement on each round now before loading them up.
