Got my Elander mags and GS designs mag extensions

It takes waaaay too long to load mags that way -- at least for me.

HaHa... Good one

Would anyone know if the Maglula FN FAL for .308 mags would work with these Elander mags?
If not, what loaders are people using?

Maglula makes one for the M14.

 

[9mmGunGuy]

Yes, I have the one for the M14 but the Elander A1A mags don't fit because they don't have a hole at the front.

....do you have a drill?

 

[9mmGunGuy]

But that would be illegal... or is it?

wonder if p&D or anywhere in edmonton has these mags.
havent seen them listed in any of the edm stores tho.

Oh yes it would be.
You can't modify the mag. Drill that hole and it becomes a prohibitted device. This has all been discussed before.

Ok, solved my problem. I modified the Maglula M1A/M14 loader by removing its tab. It now works with both the
M14 mags and the A1A mags by holding the loader firmly against the front of the mag.

I had no idea and obviously missed the discussion on this. If the pointy end of the spring guide ever wears a hole in my Elander mags….do I have to trash them?

I did not realize the Elander AIA mags could be extended to hold a capacity > 10 rounds? Who sells these? I have experienced occasional failures to feed using the Elander AIA mags in m305 and M1A. The mag shifted down slightly as I was firing. A tap corrected the problem. They probably run flawless in the AIA rifle, what they were designed for?

You shouldn't be allowed to post anymore.
