Looks nice, will definitely get the job done! Why the ASC mags instead of E-Landers?

Being my first Grendel AR, I didn't know one was really better than another. Should I return the ASC's and purchase E-Landers? Do they feed better, lighter, quieter, more durable?
I should have done more research. Worth swapping them out?

I have several ASC mags which function and are reasonably priced. When AA started selling E-Lander I have since purchased a few E-Landers. The E-Lander seem to be a higher quality mag in finish and material compared to ASC however both work. The only issue I've had with an ASC mag was one 24 round mag failed to feed. Comparing the feed lips on the faulty mag to functional mags I noticed the feed lips were lower on the bad mag. I used a pair of pliers to adjust the feed lips on the faulty mag to match my good mags. This tweak seems to have resolved the issue with my one bad mag.
I suggest you try your ASC mag and see if it functions in your rifle. I've found on my ASC mags they had a gummy substance in the interior of the mag. Cleaning the interior of the ASC seemed to smooth loading and unloading. I've also found loading my new mags to capacity and letting them set loaded a couple weeks makes them easier to load and use.

I have both ASC and E-Landers. Both function just fine and I haven't had any problems with either. For some reason or another though my E-Landers are noisy when moving around. I've torn them apart a few times and haven't been able to find any obvious reason why either. For that reason I carry my ASCs in the field. No sense making anymore noise than I have to.

Another thing to consider I've heard the AA E-Landers can be a bit of wait once ordered, but also that those times can vary widely depending. Good luck can't wait to see the test results.

I really appreciate all the information.
Yep I will try out the ASCs and see how they perform. I'm in the Republic of California, we are only allowed 10 rounders anyhow. Will give it a go.

The 10 round ASC mags are gtg, I have been useing three of them for close to a year now and have not had one malfunction due to mags yet.
I bought mine from PF, you may want to load them up to full capacity and let them sit for a few weeks, I read to do that when I bought mine so I did and like I said I have not had a single problem, but that could be because they are quality mags and not because I keep them loaded for a few weeks.
Hope this info helps sir.
