    E-Lander vs. USGI Aluminum (VIDEO)

    Based upon the feedback I received from my previous video comparing the new E-Lander to the new PMAG, I took a few E-Landers and USGI mags to the range for more testing. I compare the seating effort between the two types of mags (loaded to 30rds), showing that my USGI aluminum mags seat with ease, whereas the E-Landers do not.

    I also do a feed lip drop test, showing what everyone would expect- the feed lips bent. However, the bends that were put into the mag from two drops did not seem to inhibit function other than causing additional rubbing in the magwell during seating. This is of course a function of what kind of bend occurs, and additional/different drops might cause failure-inducing bends nonetheless. This is not different than what you'd expect to see with a USGI mag, so I didn't bother bending a perfectly good mag that has proven reliable just so everyone could see what they already know. []

    One of my E-Landers remained loaded for the past week, and it did seat much easier than the other two E-Landers I brought to test. Hard to say if that was why, but others have reported experiencing the same thing. I am going to keep my other E-Landers loaded and see if that helps the next time I am at the range to shoot my 5.56 AR.

    I still prefer PMAGs or USGI Aluminum mags over these, but as I keep saying, the E-Landers are available for bulk purchase right now (albeit with considerably delayed shipping) at an affordable price, which is currently a rarity.

    Thanks for the video. I like my E Lander mags. Sure, they are not a PMAG, but they are a solid choice for the range.

    Another great video thank you. Don't blame you for not dropping your GI Mags!

    Got 20 shipping to me right now but I ordered end of last month. Picked them up to use as training mags. We'll see how they work out.
    I'm not cool. I just do this stuff for fun.

    I ordered 5 on 1/6 #10337

    I had intentions of getting the 5 and making sure they were good and f so ordering another 10 but I am not going to do that if it takes 3 months to ship them AFTER they charge my card the day I order. Craziness!

    Now that DiFi's introduced her bill, the wait times for magazines, etc will likely get worse. It's more important than ever to contact your elected officials.

    Please follow this link if you've not contacted them yet.

    I'd like to see something like the link above made a "sticky" on each page of the board until such time as things settle down a bit.
