    Is this a good 6.5 magazine?

    Hello Friends, I was wondering If I did okay on the correct 6.5mm magazines. I purchased three of them. I'm assuming these are the best ones to use?

    Thanks,
    -Garik

    Ealanders have been good to me. AA typically does additional inspection on the magazines they carry as an extra layer of QC.

          I'm happy with them. Just ran a full one in a 3-gun practice run yesterday with Wolf Steel. Ran great.

            I like the Duramag/C-Products defense mags best. I've had both those and E-Landers. E-Landers cycled fine but were too hard to unload to be worth fooling with for me.

                Wow you guys were right these steel mags are very hard to fill up. They hold 24rds and I could barely push in the 20th rd. wow lol

                  When I acquired my AR Grendel I got 3 ea. E-landers and 3 AR-stoner 10 round mags and both brands have performed well so far with ~600 rounds total through them.
                  With that being said the fit and finish of the E-landers is superior in every way, I do not recall what the price difference was between the two at the time and they were my only options available at the time.

                    Yeah there's only like 4 choices for magazines and with a 20rd there's only like 2 choices the AA/E's and the AR Stoners. I don't really like steel mags though, oh well it's fine for now I guess

                      At the recommendation of other forum members, I've found loading the Elanders and letting them sit for a few weeks helps reduce some of that spring tension.

                          Also, there are AR Stoner mags available via MidwayUSA.

                          I have used Elander mags. I found they tend to bind mid stack, but not consistently. Mine are relegated to being range mags. I bought 2 and both have issues. Won't buy more.

                              Thanks for the info, The Amend2 are what I really want but they don't have the capacity I want.
