I received my E-Lander magazines. They're marked with a February, 2013 date code. The first one I tried will absolutely only hold 29 cartridges. There's no way in the world that one more is going to fit. The follower is bottoming out on something. I took it apart and removed the spring. I could then insert 30 cartridges with all the other parts assembled. My guess at this point is the spring is fully compressing. The second one I tried holds 30 cartridges. I'll have to disassemble both to see what the difference is. Both are hard as heck to seat in to three different AR15's (Colt, Stag, CMMG) when they're fully loaded and the bolt is forward. When not loaded, they seat very easily when the bolt is forward.
