AR-15 STEEL 6.5MM GRENDEL MAGAZINE Reviews & Ratings

Feed your 6.5 Grendel AR-15 the right way with these purpose-built E-Lander AR-15 Magazines, designed for optimum feeding of these rounds into your long-range AR-15. E-Lander constructs their 6.5 Grendel magazines from stainless steel that is heat-treated for extra durability to stand up to the higher recoil and heftier mag spring forces needed to reliably feed these larger-diameter (than .223/5.56) rounds. There’s a heavy-duty steel floorplate to contain the high-strength magazine spring.

Sturdy stainless steel mag body & floorplate
Tough anti-corrosion coating
Matte black
Self-lubricating polymer anti-tilt follower
Available in 4-, 10-, 17- and 24-round capacities

The E-Lander 6.5 Grendel magazines are coated with a special material that stands up to 96 hours of salt spray without corroding. The slick polymer anti-tilt follower keeps the round stack moving smoothly for added reliability.

Made for 6.5

I've had a little trouble with some magazines feeding the 6.5 grindel. I believe that's because some 6.5 mags out there are 223/5.56 magazine boxes with a follower for the 6.5. This magazine is (I believe) specifically designed for the 6.5 cartridge and it works beautifully.

great mags

I have been using these for years hunting pigs. They always function great and are very solid. I prefer the longer 24 rd mags while I am hunting because they stick out far enough to clear my stomach while I am walking around in search of swine. I also prefer to have 24 rounds on tap when I find a group of swine because I have been known to empty the mag on them. Happy times :)

BUY THESE!

I've bought a couple of these magazines, along with a few of the C-Products mags with the blue followers which are less expensive. The E-Landers are far better quality. You might get lucky with the others, but I had feeding issues with C-Products Grendel mags. I've always been a fan of their .223 AR magazines, too. In 6.5 Grendel, the E-Landers are much higher quality and have not caused any issues at all.

they work well in my AR

very happy with the quality, fit and function.

6mm ARC Excellent Quality

Always feeds well, use both sizes

Well made

I was looking for a 10 round 6.5 Grendel mag for my AR, making it legal to hunt deer with. I found these E-Lander ARC mags here at Brownells, and these are high quality magazines, well worth the money-I highly recommend these!

Great Magazines

I have these magazines in 10, 17, and 24 round capacity. I use them in two different 6.5 Grendel AR-15's I put together. All function as they should. They in fact work so well I won't buy any other magazines for my 6.5 Grendels.

Excellent Mag.

Bought this mag because its a 4 round mag, which limits number of rounds (5) in your firearm, which is standard for hunting in many states; its a tough rugged mag; only issue is its brightly painted in gloss/semigloss: I painted it flat black to match my Atheris 6.5 Grendel.

Works for ARC

This is the only E-Lander magazine that works properly with 6mm ARC
