These mags look like shit! If this is new quality then I'll be sticking with E-Landers. These were sold as new by a rather reputable vendor.

Thoughts?

Send those pics to the dealer and have them send new ones. If they are reputable, they will.

It's just odd that all of the mags look like this. My E-Landers are seriously nice. These look like a drunk was running the spot welder

Yep. Agree with that.

Looks worse than the C-Products magazines I bought the day after Obama got elected.

These are 6.5 Grendel mags, not many choices out there. E-Landers seem to be the only legit option at the moment.

Ok so I'm not crazy to ask for actual new ones or send them back. Getting with the vendor tomorrow first thing! Wish E-Lander made 15's instead of 17's so I can actually get them shipped here

I honestly can't say that a coating that puddle some a the bottom of a mag would bother me much.

Garbage.  I wouldn't accept those at all.  I'm not a picky guy, but those look like crap.

ASC and C-Product magazines are some of the lowest quality magazines on the market. Their only redeeming value is they make cheap magazines for non-standard calibers.

The only magazines worse than them are ProMags and Triple-K.

I been very happy with my D&H magazines.....Those do look bad.......

Well for such a reputable vendor these folks are now silent. They were answering emails left and right when I was wanting to spend money. Now that I have a problem with multiple products shipped its crickets. I'll give them a few days before I call them out publicly.

I have several ASC mags that I bought last year for my 6.8 rifles.  None look like that.

I don't think they like the fact that I caught them selling blems as brand new. Nowhere on the site or product listing does it state that these are blems. I don't mind blemished products, but list them as such as price them accordingly.

Not only is appearance important, but also raises the question of what else did they not care that much about?

Half assed is half assed.

Personally I don't pay others for half assed anything.

Yeah those are definitely blems. The ones sold as new(non blem) don't look like that.

Yeah... Well... This vendor does not label them as such and I guess hopes nobody will notices. Funny I have emailed them 4 times now and not a word. Before that they were firing off emails left and right to me.

Is that puddled paint, botched welding, some sort of sealant, grease, etc?
I can't quite tell from your pics.

The manufacturer claims their blems that look like this are due to bubbles in the coating.

Id buy the blems from ASC for $10/ea, have a 5 pack in my cart now, thanks for the tip.

I will have to try nd remember that next time I let one fall 3' in the sand or  on the concrete walk at a match. I bet them poor things are rubbing and banging together when I bounce them around in my range box too.

So vendor owned up to it, reached out to their "supplier" and they said to keep the mags and are issuing a refund. Turns out this vendor is a huge drop shipper as well.

Thank goodness. Now those ugly mags can be thrown away and then get some that are nice looking. Who in the world would want to be seen with those in their gun.
