6.5 Grendel magazines

[ChrisFr]

Wish I had seen this before I ordered a bunch of magazines, ordered several Alexander Arms mags when Midway had them on sale. They are also labeled as E-Lander, assuming they make them for Alexander. But they refuse to feed. Friend has the same problem. Have a couple of generic 10rd mags that work great. And as long as I only load 5 or so rounds my 5.56 PMags work without issue. So have several mags i cant use and dont feel like hassling with sending them back.

Hi Chris: If you haven't already done so, load those mags up to max and keep them that way for a few weeks or more. That will take some of the heavy spring out of the follower. ASC mags work in some guns better than Elanders due to their weaker spring. If you own a bolt action RAP, you really notice the difference.

Natches has the best price on a 25 round ASC. As a matter of fact, they are some of the few online who actually have any in stock for 6.5 GRENDEL!

They are stiff but the biggest issue is they seem to be slightly small so there is just a slight amount of play front to back. So depending on the round the tip of the bullet hits the bottom of the feed ramp and they dont feed reliably. Honestly I will probably get rid of them, since it was built primarily for hunting I dont really need 25 rds anyway.

I sanded and polished all the feed lips on my ASC mags and that smoothed them up. The stamped metal comes very sharp and drags/scratches the rounds.

I had the same issue when I first started. Fooled around with the gas block, and after 400-500 rounds everything was working like butter (pronounced "butta")
