Yeah, I’ll give Freedom Munitions a pass on this one; it’s not their fault the case was defective.

And that case is most definitely from IMI. Maybe you can’t see it clearly in my earlier photo, but is clearly stamped IMI with a small trademark or something on either side. Like this:

* I M I *

This round came from a 1,000-round purchase I made from Freedom about a year ago. Sorry RGV, but it is definitely a new round that came to me directly from Freedom Munitions...
