my elander magazines,,,whats the problem?,,, - dammitman - 04-15-2018
I have purchaced quite a few elander mags and I cannot find any that will fall out when empty or will load into the firearm when filled. I don't get it. they feel nice and look great but they seem to spread when loaded and wont go into a lower without drag. WTF,,,,,

I’ve never had any issues with them. With the exception of one coming unweeded at the seam.

Something isn’t right. All bought together/same lot? There’s a dimension wrong somewhere, given my experience with them, I’m inclined to advise you check your lower. They could be made wrong, but I’ve never gotten one that doesn’t fit well, four separate purchases, 9 mags now.

I see now that the ones failing have a broken spot weld on the backside of the mag. so when loaded they spread ot and take that even when empty.

Did you order the bad ones from the same place? How long have you had them?,....i have 6 ordered and just wondering if it was a bad run or if it is further out in distribution?

I've have several E Lander Mags and haven't had an issue with the not fitting into the mag well or splitting and the weld. I would say bad batch.

I had that same problem with a pre-production prototype 17rd Elander.
Wouldn't fit in any of my lowers without unusual, heavy force.
Then all of a sudden, it just started working and dropping free for some reason.
