My elander mags SUCK !
1 will chamber from a mag on the first round, the other nose dives the round into my feed ramp.
Just ordered 2 asc 10 round mags for 13.99 each.
Hope these work better.
So, I did have other issues.
1st off, accuracy was NOT, to be expected. The American Gunner ammo, would cycle, and lock back the bolt.
When purchased, the barrel had an adjustable gas block. Brand, unknown to me.
Switched to my reloads.
Switched to a single round mag, so all variables were the same.
Round goes off, bolt would eject brass, but not lock back.
Have never had, nor needed an adjustable gas block.
Loosened set screw, screwed adjustment screw out for more gas.
Gave up after taking screw out, and just enough in to hold.
Junk.
Accuracy SUCKED.
Pulled out a steel, non adjustable gas block when I got home, switched, and reshot the other day.
Wow! What a diff.
American gunner, 1st 2 rounds at 100 yards, 1/2" !
Went to squeeze trigger, nothing, jammed round ! Junk elander mag.
Drop mag, drop round into chamber, trip carrier, insert mag, fire. 11/4" high ! Ok... next round chambered. Fired. 3rd round groups back with first 2, 3/4" !
Next round, jammed.
I'm done !
Gas block definitely made a diff. in accuracy. Why ?
Haven't had time to load, working on other cartridges.
Will try reloads again, this week tho.
