E-lander magazines any good?

[AmishEskimoNinja]

I saw AA has elander magazines on sale:

Do they actually work? Are they worth the money?

I have some non AA 26 rounders that work ao poorly I should just throw them away...

[ah1whiskey]

i have some of those ASC 25 round mags that seem to do OK IF you only put a few rounds in them.

lately i have been running the 7.62x39 ASC mags with the 6.5 rounds with no issues so far. but i had a bunch of 7,62x39 ar stuff to try out--

most everyone recommends the e-landers for the 6.5g , i suspect their the best of the 6.5mags--

I have two of the ASC mags and two of the e-lander mags. One of my ASC mags won't feed at all and the other has problems occasionally. My e-lander mags have work flawlessly, whether I load two rounds or 17. They are worth every penny to me.

I bought a few of the E-Lander 17 round mags about a month ago and so far I really like the E-Lander 17 rounders. One thing that has really helped my E-Lander mags was loading them to capacity and letting them set for a couple weeks. The 17 round mag is an ideal size as you can still use the mags off the bench but still have adequate capacity with reliability.

I only bought one ten round E-Lander which actually holds ten rounds. My C Products and ASC 9 round mags function but the E-Lander seems to be of higher quality. I have several 24 round C Products and ASC mags so I haven't purchased any of the 24 round E-Lander mags.

I helped the function of my ASC mags by cleaning the interior. If your interested I did a short review on the E-Lander mags and here is a link.

The 24's have been out for a while and a great plurality of us have tried them, and I don't recall a single complaint.

[LRRPF52]

I've been using the 10rd, 17rd, and 24rd for a while now. Really use the 10 and 17rd mags, no issues yet. I normally only load 3-10rds in my mags, just because I'm doing accuracy-testing a lot.

The higher capacities come out in DM courses or long range where we shoot from positions.

I only have the 25 round mags, bought when they first came out last year. Nary a hiccup or issue. Good quality construction and functional to a tee. Only negative thing I ever hear about them is their propensity to rattle a bit when fully loaded, which I've personally experienced as well.

Yeah I started my Grendel journey last year with two 25rd Elanders completely bypassing ASC and whatever else is out there.The Elanders have run 100% for me (I load to 25 too) now I need some 17s and probably a ten.

[din]

No, don't buy them so there are more for me.

[jim_bob]

I've used the 25 rounders for a little over a year. I picked up a few 17 rounders and a few 10 rounders when they came out. I have yet to experience a single feeding issue from any of the Elander 6.5 G magazines I have. I'm not a fan of the rattle, but I was able to hedge that with camo wrap.

What is the internal length of these mags (trying to judge COAL)?

[Jakal]

So whats up with that rattle? I haven't tore one down yet to find it but a rattling mag could be bad news, especially if noise discipline should be in effect.

[BluntForceTrauma]

Two of my E-Landers were both about 2.290 per my Cabelas calipers; my measuring skills suck, but that's as near as I can figure. Each holds 25 rounds (which I like), but not 26.

Two of my AA-labeled C-Products were 2.300 and 2.290, respectively.

I'm not sure what causes the rattle but after I left my 17 round mags loaded for a couple weeks they didn't rattle anymore. When new the rattle would quit when I locked the mag into the weapons mag well. My ten round E-Lander mag still rattles until you lock it in the mag well.

Vascar2---""My ten round E-Lander mag still rattles until you lock it in the mag well""

This is the same thing I experience with the 10 rounders. I need to go load up the 17 and 24 rounds mags I just bought. See if I can the same results as you.
