"We're working on it And "Soon." A public service anouncement brought to you by this thread TL;DR: mako has been stringing members along about defective mags for years. Literally years. New guy starts working for Mako, promises that he will fix what the previous guy didn't, and it's been 13 months since that promise with monthly promises of "working on it, will have an answer next week" and "soon".

Are the defective mags the E-lander steel mags? I've got 10, only opened one but it's had no issues.

I got one of their mags as the owner was frustrated with it not seating. I opened the mag catch area up about .015-.020" on the top edge. Seats now fully loaded in all 4 of my rifles. Functions, but I fire it every now and again just to see if it works.
I painted a yellow stripe around the bottom 1" or so to differentiate it from any others at a glance. |

I'll openly admit I was a staunch Mako defender for a long while, but they've really screwed up and burnt their bridges hardcore. I had a bunch of their mags that ran perfect, but I sold them. The only "Mako" product I own is a Meprolight M21 and that was purchased from Amazon with Mako as the importer. Doubt I'll buy anything from them anymore. But Meprolight makes a solid product. Just don't get it from Mako

Mako,
The only word that comes to mind with this whole issue is "pathetic." Why don't you spend less time peddling excuses on this site and fix your issues? It's almost like a troll hacked your account with "Industry Partner" on it...and peddles one BS line after another; months and months and months and months and months later. PATHETIC Big Papa, How many mags do they owe you? |

And it would save stringing about all these people waiting for replacements. Just appalling behavior. I don't see why anyone would ever buy anything from them.

They also had similar problems with actually getting their fancy new meprolight sights to the customers that had to preorder to get one. Nothing but fucking "soon" and "I'll find out Monday" type bullshit excuses. That company is shit.
The guy that handles their CS, DOES NOT EVEN WORK AT THEIR FACILITY. They hired some random dude to just post some bullshit and pretend to get ahold of the actual company.its a fucking shit show. |

I bought 10 after Sandy Hook. None of them fit. I did the mag catch mod to 2 of them just to get them to work.
No fitty: Spikes Lower Bushmaster lower Colt M16 Anderson Aero Colt 6920 Most of these are friends lowers. If I can find someone were these POS fit. They can have them. FMako ....I remember when these started hitting the streets everyone had the same issues, Mako had the nerve to tell us it was "normal" to fit tight like that. Then after another month or so they came out and said our Lowers were out of spec. Douche bags |

First batch? Oh, you poor bastard.....
They finally "fixed" a problem that only existed in EVERY customers mind with the "3" mags, IIRC..... As others have said the first batch had jacked up lips and refused to work in EVERY lower--of course, it was EVERY SINGLE LOWER in Merica, out of spec, not the mags. They replaced all of mine but I am STILL waiting on them to reimburse my shipping costs like they said they would......

Both of my e lander mags are flawless. Mako sent me a part to fix one of their grips that broke on me. Without charge.
That said, their CS issues have ensured I will never spend another dime with them. Unsurprised to see they're still doing so shitty. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I bought 10 elander's from ammo to go for $5 each when they had them on clearance a few years ago. They have been excellent mags. Maybe I just go lucky. The ELander 17 and 25 round 6.5 grendel mags from Alexander Arms are really nice. Was it just the early ELanders that had problems when they first came to market? |
