Ammunition manufacturing
The cartridge is the contract.
Production ammunition is made in St. Joseph, Missouri, on advanced machinery, under NAICS 332993 and 332992. Specialized ammunition is developed in Scottsdale, Arizona, with the weapons work. A round still leaves with a specification, an inspection, and a lot record.
Registered lines
Ammunition, except small arms
This is the primary NAICS. Ammunition other than small-arms cartridges, built to a written specification, with inspection and a lot record. It is the line the vendor profile leads with.
St. Joseph, Missouri
Advanced ammunition machinery.
The munitions plant is stood up on advanced bullet-making machinery. That is the standard for the production line. Specialized ammunition, the loads tied to a weapon under development, is done in Scottsdale. Caliber and load are still set by the buyer, in writing.
How a lot runs
Four steps. No mystery process.
01
Specification
The buyer writes the caliber, the projectile, and what “accepted” means. iR8 does not guess it from a catalog.
02
Materials
High-grade components. The published differentiator is that the materials have to match the job, not a cheaper substitute.
03
Inspection
Quality assurance in munitions is a core competency. A lot that cannot be checked does not leave as finished work.
04
Record
The contract, the lot, and the result stay together. That record is part of the product.
Not a counter
No cart. No caliber menu.
iR8 does not sell ammunition to the general public from this website. If you need a production run, a lot, or a specification review, ask for a briefing. Bring the requirement. The shop will say whether it can make it.
Rifle development lives next door to this line on purpose. A special service rifle without a matched cartridge is a drawing.
