LRRPF52 Wrote:Hoot, I suspect the AR-Stoner mags might be CProducts, with AR-Stoner (Midway) stamped floor plates. Maybe you can compare the two? Do the AR-Stoner Grendel mags have blue followers with "6.5" on them?
Yes, they probably are and yes they have a blue follower with 6.5 on it.

Interesting the 10-rounders are 2 bucks more than the 25-rounders.

Nice call! I, living in Texas, didn't think of the obvious. But surely with all the folks in Kali that are Midway customers, Larry wouldn't take advantage of the law, right?

I have two 10 round AR-Stoner Grendel mags and they both work.

So to summarize, the best current supplier of Grendel mags is Stoner / Midway? Is that correct?

No, the best current supplier of Grendel mags is Alexander Arms. The only mags made for the Grendel are made in the same factory with different bottom stamps. The 5, 10, and 25 round mags are the most dependable for function. The AA advantage is that they are checked both at the factory, and at AA. Does that mean that none ever make it through unless they are perfect? No, but it increases the chances that bad ones will be caught.

Seems like it might be worth the extra buck to get them from Alexander Arms if they indeed check them out at both the factory AND at Alexander like Bwaites says....
Grendel mags? - Texas Sheepdawg - 11-24-2011
Yeah, AA is the preferrable way to go, but like Hoot, I already got mine from Midway and I gotta admit, these AR Stoner mags function and look great. I have one five round and three ten round mags.

I assume those are the 25 rounders... correct?
Grendel mags? - leopard6.5 - 11-24-2011
Gene: They had them all priced the same on their website( alexanderarms.com). They list 5, 10 and 25 rounders at $15.99 each.

Just tried a brand new 30-round pmag in the grendel today. I tried it with 3,5,7, and 9 rounds in the pmag and it functioned flawlessly. 7 rounds was the max before the pmag expanded too much. Above that, the pmag would rub going into the mag well. I was able to load 9 rounds into the pmag, but I had to give the magazine a good shove to get it the magwell and seated properly.
As far as feeding and functioning, it worked perfectly at all the various capacities listed above.
