E LANDER AR mags..thoughts?

I have one and they are very nice. BUT, in my mind 5 round AR mags are SO old fashioned! When they get the 50 BW version approved, THEN I'll buy a boat load of them!

AR mags are a funny thing. I know pistol mags are out there and readily available. And until recently only available in metal and short bodied designs. Now with Alberta Tactical's CAA polymer pistol mags I don't see much reason to shop for LAR pistol mags. Honestly I can't see much reason to buy any metal or polymer AR 5 round rifle mag, except of course maybe a Beowulf mag but supply of those is short.

That all having been said, I still end up collecting AR mags of all sorts. It's as much of a sickness as the gun hobby itself.

Still need to look into these E-Lander mags.

Well yeah, you need to get a couple to try of course! But I won't be buying lots of them in the 5/30's.
 
The .50 Beowulf mags we got from the factory run .50 Beowulf cartridges fantastically.

People need to recognize that they're steel magazines, not aluminum. They're very robust.

We've had a couple lucky people testing them for the last couple months. So far so good. Now we just have to wait for the RCMP to hurry up and approve them so they can be imported.
 
These are the best quality metal mags I've owned. Fit and finish is excellent and they feed like glass -- remind me of the steel HK416 mags (which I don't own but have handled some) Yeah, it sucks that they only hold five but... someday.

Dangit, /want
 
I got one of the 5 round rifle mags to test out, so far fit and finish are great, and it feels like a tank. Will have to see how it'll do on the range.

One thing I REALLY like is the countersunk rivet, no insertion issues! :D
 
I just bought five of them from Wolverine Supplies and I will give them a go at the ORA CQB matches this coming Saturday. And then I will crank out a range report with them.:)


Many of you in the Service Rifle circles know that I am a magpul slut and the PMags when properly riveted to 5.5 rds works really well for me and my clients training in my CQB clinics. I frequently lend them out without any fear of stoppages and/or nasty surprises; can you do that with your existing AR magazine collection? :eek:

I like the fit in my Armalite lower so far... All drop free nicely on the mag changes. I can of stuff any ammo into the chamber while at home so I hafta git to my range and run some rounds through before the Saturday 17 August CQB match at base Borden.

Anyways, stay tuned for a report after the weekend since its gonna be a busy weekend and week for me with company coming to visit.

Cheers and kelp helping the newbies!
