I have early Endomags that won't feed anything but round nose ammo.
Looks like the bullet is fed too high. Have you made changes to the feed ramps or angle since the first generation? |

Have you made changes to the feed ramps or angle since the first generation? That is not something we hear often - we run hollow points through Endomags constantly. Please reach out to our support department at [email protected] or 404-889-8960 and we will make sure you get everything running. Endomags are definitely covered by our Lifetime Warranty so we will fix or replace them to make sure they're running correctly for you. MEAN Arms https://www.meanarms.com/ [email protected] |

Any sort of "speed" loaders available for converted mags?
I have some set up for use in PCC, and having to load quickly between stages doesn't seem all that quick/easy. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By amphibian: When they first came out, people with the CMMG RDB's were advised to just cut off the fixed ejector. Like the ones shown on the left.

That is what I run in mine. https://c3junkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/endomog-gen1-vs-gen2-2-1024x656.jpg Video of mine running various HP in full auto.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc527Z9vR6gMine IS a RDB and using 1st gen Endomags. I think those wings might help... |

Basically, I just cut away material so that it lined up with where the 9mm are seated. Did this last year sometime and have no issues. I don't have an image hosting account so unfortunately, I cannot post the pics.

A mag loader such as that pictured below should suffice:

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Noshoot: Source? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Noshoot: Originally Posted By SecondAmend: A mag loader such as that pictured below should suffice: https://i.imgur.com/ezILGgx.jpg Source? That particular magazine loading aid/tool was an Olympic Arms (OA) product. As OA went out of business in early 2020, buying from them is no longer possible. That said, I do not know who made the tool as OA did, in fact, use outside sources for some of the parts and accessories that they sold, while making "major components" (OA's terminology) in house. In any case, perhaps you could prevail upon MEAN into producing or outsourcing such a tool or similar as there is no real inventive work/engineering expense needed. Just a few measurements and tooling. As I don't have and do not ever intend to have Endomags, I have no interest and only provided the photo as a service to the ARFCOM community. Best of luck. MHO, YMMV, etc. Be well. |
