I ordered the elanders from mako back in December and finally got them today. I didn't have any problems with them in my bushmaster lower. Before I got them I was pretty worried by reports that the manufacturing tolerances weren't right and people couldn't get them to seat properly. I didn't have any problems with pushing them in with a closed/open bolt, 30 rnds or empty. If anyone else out there is waiting on an order, hopefully you won't be disappointed.

My second order is in the 13000s.... oh well. Great mags, cracks me up that morons are paying 30+ for PMAGs when these are out there.

OK, I was wondering. Mine is 10000, so hopefully they will come in pretty soon. Funny thing was the week after I ordered them, I found 20 GI 30 rounders, I forgot I had.

My order is in the high 12,000s. I do not for a minute think they have these "in stock". I do hope they are of good quality.

They have them in stock.... I'd imagine it's just hard to process 16,000 orders in one month accurately. They hit 21,000 like 2-3 days ago.

Maybe I'm crazy, "in stock" means at warehouse, ready to ship IMO. When they are posting that there is a 2 to 3 month wait and shipments are arriving daily, thats "backorder". Difference being that when I order from other distributors they don't bill me until they ship and Mako billed me immediately (6 weeks ago).

Bottom line, unless you want to pay today and receive this summer go elsewhere

Dunno what to tell you if you don't understand. They have so many orders that they cannot keep up accurately in a quick time frame, per what they have said. Which to me, sounds reasonable a I have watched their comments closely on other forums because I was initially curious with my first oder as well. Going by replies on how fast the orders accumulated on arfcom and at what order numbers/rate they are coming in, I believe them. Maybe you can ask them to send ya a pic?

Don't believe them or don't like their charging policy? Quit complaining about semantics, cancel your order, and explore your other options.
