By the way, in say a five round hunting mag, would you guys rather a short mag, or a longer mag riveted to 5 rounds for easier handling?

Sorry, our automated robotic teleporter machine was broken, so we had to break down pallet loads and fulfill orders by hand and send them by USPS.  Quote HistoryQuoted:

I also remember the months long wait for delivery of "in stock" magazines. I understand the physical logistics and demands that so many went through during the time period. Many (including me) really appreciate the work that was put in by so many. It was just very frustrating for "in stock ready to ship" advertised product to take that long to actually be shipped. Would like to see a 20 round 6.8 mag in addition to the larger capacity. |

The longest it took us to ship orders during that time was 6 weeks, and that was at the point that we stopped shipping the M2 mags and awaited the M3.
But we were organized as an importer with a distribution system, used to shipping large orders to a few distributors, not shipping small orders to tens of thousands of customers. Even our CEO and CFO were packing magazines in boxes. This event exposed all of the weak links in our system and resulted in an investment in a totally new inventory tracking, order fulfillment, and website system that has drastically increased efficiency (and everyone can know what is going on throughout the process now, instead of having to ask whoever it is that is supposed to know about that particular aspect). It also resulted in an almost complete turnover in personnel, and reorganization of others. With the team and system we have now, we could easily fulfill orders in half the time with much fewer mistakes if faced with the same situation again. Hopefully, we won't ever face the same situation again. I'm hopping the next panic buy is because everyone is running out to buy ammo and magazines to feed their full-autos after the '86 registry closure is overturned.

If they drop free, which my current mags do not, I would go with the smaller. I'd like to see some 10rd or maybe 15rd mags preferably. I'm glad to see you guys getting into the Grendel platform, quality mags should sell very well |

I'd like to see the longer bodies. Maybe a 15 round version.

I'm liking the E-Lander mags right now...What is the maximum COL and are they built like (same type of quality) the H&K-416 (5.56mm NATO) Maritime mags ?
I want to know how they compare to the 5.56mm NATO HK-416 mags especially with regard to maximum Combined Overall Length... Thanks. |

As OP states, most manufacturers use the same bodies for both 6.5 and 6.8 mags, but with a different follower for each, or in some cases a hybrid that works for both. I see the question of COAL has been answered. PRI has been my mainstay, though ASC, C-Products Defense etc have current versions allowing 2.30 give or take. The PRIs have been flawless and always allow the length advertised, where the others have been iffy, sometime low on quality but right on length, or high on quality and low on length. I am interested in testing one, hopefully funds will allow soon. I have 6 different projectiles / hand loads ready to go that are either 2.295 or 2.30 depending on bullet type that I want to try in this new mag. I looks very good, high quality. If it performs as advertised it will be my new go to mag. Options are great to have, and we've been limited on them. This. I am now getting away from factory loads. I need something that is consistent in internal length. I also need something that lends itself to prone, so those 26 rounders wont do for me. I have cp, asc, et al, but the dimensions don't lend them selves to my style of precision shooting and loading. I need 10 mags, in a 15 round planform, where i can load to a COAL of 2.3 exactly, or 2.298 consistently, and each mag have that minimum internal tolerance. A bit like Larue mags where i can consistently load to 2.85". Do that, and I'll dump all my brand new mags from different manufacturers that wont work for my hand loads, and make someone with a 6.5/LBC happy. |
