I just got a reply to my email to Agulia from Eileen Vaughn the customer service manager of Agulia.
She states they are still working on finishing their new facilities in Texas and should be producing 5mm in about 6 months or so.
SO... once again sometime, maybe in the future, no real set date, none expected to be produced for at least 6 more months,
which means if it happens as stated it will probably would be several more months for it to be readily available.
While I appreciate her email, I have no faith at this time we will see any new 5mm anytime soon. I would be surprised if I see any by this time next year.

You should be able to run them bunnies down and spear em with the bayonet on your 5MM after your 2,000 mi. long hike this past summer no? In the meantime I'll put in a good word for you amigo with Agulia. :bthumb:

I just saw an 18-20" bayonet at a local gun shop Friday. Maybe pre WWI. Should be able to adapt it to the 592 for jackrabbit hunting. 2650 miles Mexico to Canada. I did see some jackrabbits in the first 700 miles of southern California.

Not sure? Most likely Jackrabbits are tough as a piece of tire!

Sportsman's Warehouse or one of those types came out with a new batch of Russian gas masks that might come in handy and perhaps drive the point home a little deeper Eric.

I would need one of those along with a pair of good quality, tall rubber boots (to navigate the BS)!

If only we could get a couple of thousand people gathered around their booth chanting, "No more lies, Bring back the 5". That might actually work

Aguila 5mm-Confused Info by Somebody !!!!!!

The Facility progress in Conroe Texas got mixed UP in the conversation by somebody. That has NOTHING to do with the 5mm RF Ammunition. The delivery is still around the end of November 2018. Packaging, etc could take a little longer BUT , I am betting that it will be on the shelves before the end of 2018 !!! I plan to get the first case to be shipped and, I will post here when I have the case in MY HANDS. - Alan Aronstein

Boy, but I'd sure like to be able to share your optimism, Mr. Alan...…………..and I hope you are right and I am wrong...………… :bthumb:

I won't start holding my breath just yet. But we're all rooting for you to be right. I'll be checking in with much regularity to see that picture.

Meanwhile...………. I got a whole jar full of crickets who are good and ready to start chirping again...……...for like the umpteenth time.
