He's a little late to the party, lol.Sixteen years since inception... the -L is finally getting some positive traction? albeit limited. And MAC seems to have gotten good experiences with their Uni-mags.
Which in itself is a bit strange. He sampled XCRs before and was even one of us for a short while.He's a little late to the party, lol.![]()
Right, but IIRC, he had an early version with QC issues that we could have fixed, but like most gun guys (and I agree with them)....it should work out of the box. If it doesn't, it's generally considered a piece of shit. To me though, the potential of the platform in terms of modularity, robustness, etc. made it worth tinkering with. I'm frankly surprised he gave it a second shot at all.Which in itself is a bit strange. He sampled XCRs before and was even one of us for a short while.
There may be a bit of bandwagoning going on. I noticed the -L has been getting positive attention from other gun-tubers lately (IV8888, Mrgunsngear, InRangeTV, etc.).Right, but IIRC, he had an early version with QC issues that we could have fixed, but like most gun guys (and I agree with them)....it should work out of the box.

Hmmm...I haven't experienced any of that....but I've only been using them for X39....not 6.5G. I use dedicated 6.5G mags for that round.Since I don't want to use up any 5.56 I've had a bunch of time with these mags lately. Around 2k 7.62x39. I've had one fail completely with the weld/stamping on the rear of the magazine coming apart.
Overall, there's 2 failure modes for these magazines.
1) Double feeds. I notice this mostly with 6.5G but it can happen with 7.62 as well. Typically its the 2nd or 3rd round out of the magazine. If the bolt is lowered with the charging handle this causes the round following to drag on the bcg and move forward in the magazine. Once the bolt cycles due to firing, the following round pops out of the magazine and the bolt tries to pickup the 3rd round.
2) Semi-Random FTFs. If the magazine is carried in the rifle for long periods, with the magazine loaded -1, the rounds can move around slightly. These magazines are very sensitive to the position of the cartridge and if the case isn't all of the way rearward in the magazine the chance of FTF seems to increase.
Overall as long as the rounds are loaded all the way to the back the chance of failure is low. Majority of the failures are caused by the cartridge moving forward in the magazine. There seems to be an awkward spot in the first 1-3 rounds where the spring is weaker and cannot keep the rounds from moving as easily.
Same with me. I bought a bunch of E-Lander 6.5 Grendel magazines from Alexander Arms when they were on sale. I feel obligated to use them in my 6.5 Grendel AR15 just because. Perhaps I'll try a Unimag in it to see how it does.Hmmm...I haven't experienced any of that....but I've only been using them for X39....not 6.5G. I use dedicated 6.5G mags for that round.
Same. Have both ASC and E-Landers.....haven't test fired the latest batch of warrantied ASCs....or any of the E-Landers. Out of about 22 ASCs, I think I had 7 problem ones....Same with me.

Yeah...I think you or someone else mentioned that 7.62 works better than 6.5G. This is the first I'm hearing of 5.56 not being that great with them. Thanks for mentioning it....I'm in the same boat as you. I just use my Pmags or other purpose built 5.56 mags and haven't even tried the Unimags for anything but 7.62 since that's why I bought them in the first place.Additionally,
They seem to work better for 7.62 than 6.5g or 5.56. My buddy had double feeds/FTFs with 5.56 steel case but the same mags work 100% with 7.62 steel case. I'm going to confirm that they don't like 5.56 with one of my rifles to eliminate his gun as a possible cause with his mags. I never really used them for 5.56 since I have a huge collection of pmags/surefeeds
LOL....video loses all credibility at around the 39 second mark. 🤣 I'd love to see him shoot pistol with that trigger control.XCR 7.62X39 Pistol
Gas is turned way up. That's more recoil than my winter gas setting, and they have a break on itLOL....video loses all credibility at around the 39 second mark. 🤣 I'd love to see him shoot pistol with that trigger control.
