lol, hew Drew... see the comments below. Thousands of happy customers? These things do not work. The ejector catches on the BCG regardless of the break in. The break in is BS... if you were even able to make it work with their break in procedure (I got one to work out of 12) if there is any upward pressure placed on the bottom of the mag the bolt will hang up on the BCG again. I modified one significantly and it worked. I contacted Mean to share the fix, ego man Drew was not interested. Instead blamed the issue on inconsistent BCG manufacturing. Then gave me a laundry list of reasons why it might not work including the BCG comment stated above. Then, he was all "send them back for a refund" getting my money back is not the point. They market this thing that is will work with any BCG, that is not correct even by their own emission. Anyways, I have a fix. If anyone is interested hit me up. I shot about 2000 rounds out of 7 mags I modified with no issue.
Hi Calvin, We are happy to discuss and work on resolving the issue with you. Can you please e-mail your contact information to support@meanarms.com. Can you also include your upper, lower and bolt components used in your build. Thanks.
Exactly my results. * edit update: finally got mine working pretty consistent, occasional failure but nothing like before. Big shout out thanks to Drew from mean arms, he's great
Hell yeah ! When can we expect them being shipped? 😁 nvm just looked at the website and shipping has started! Woooohooo!! Thanks guys hope these work out, I will continue to spread the word! You guys need to send a few to all the gun channels on UA-cam for reviews I guarantee you'll see a surge in sales 😏😁
Do they still come in a 10-round capacity cuz I was just on the website and unless I misunderstood there was regular mags that were 30 round capacity and then you could click on state restrictive mags that had 10 round capacity
Hey @randy_lahey.. Our EndoMags come in a 10 round configuration out of the box that can be easily modified to 15, 20 and 30 round capacities by the customer to match your local laws. For those who can't purchase the 30 round Magpul PMag we offer a EndoMag already installed into the PMag and sealed so that it is only a 10 round magazine. This is for customers in states that can't get a 30 round PMag due to local laws. We also have our new ExoMag that is a full magazine that will be released very soon. You may find that a better solution then using EndoMags and Pmags. We are always here to help so feel free to call or e-mail support if you need any clarification on any of this. support@meanarms.com. Thanks.
When using an AR-9 upper, it is paramount that you use a 9mm heavy-extended buffer. You do not want to use a standard 3 oz carbine buffer. They are too lightweight and too short carbine buffers are 3.25 inches long. You will break your bolt catch if you use a standard-length carbine buffer, even if the weight is correct, due to over travel. There are many options out there. So, when buffer shopping just make sure the buffer is heavy *at least 6oz to 8oz depending on your barrel length/bolt carrier being used and should be 3.75 inches to 4 inches long or accompanied by a buffer spacer. The buffer should also NOT be a solid buffer and have movable weights inside giving the same effect as a dead blow hammer.
Hey @marvinpelt6700 - We have found that some Magpul PMags are tighter then others. As long as the EndoMag can be pushed all the way in and the follower moves up and down freely like any other magazine you might try you should be fine.
I hate to help them out like this considering ego man Drew's horrible customer service skills but I realize the community really would like this thing to work. Hit me up, I have the fix...
Hey brother, I'm curious about the fix. I have an Endomag being sent in after an exchange (my first one caused issues to the point where no amount of trimming would fix it). I have faith in the new one being sent by Meanarms. My experience with Tommy from CS has been nothing but great, I have only good things to say about him and their CS in general, but in the event the new Endomag wont work correctly I would like to have an idea of what your fix is. Thanks.
@@sfm1022 basically run the bolt forward. Pay attention to where the abrasion is happening. Shave it down with a razor blade. Make sure you do not take any of the ejector surface. Take small amounts at a time. After the bolt runs forward with no issues, sand the surfaces Smith with 300 sand paper.
Have you guys even tested your own products for long term reliability? Your Ejectors are molded out of plastic. A 9mm casing will destroy that ejector over time. heck mine lasted 2 reloads. I spent 50.00 for the 10 round mag hoping it was a good product, Boy was I wrong. who's the idiot to thank for plastic ejectors? Heck even a 10/22 mag has its ejectors machined out of stainless steel. Rebuild your injection mould and accommodate it to accept a stainless steel insert as a replacement for your ejector.
Thank you for your feedback David. Yes, we do extensive internal testing and have multiple EndoMags with 6,000 plus rounds with zero issues. We are sorry you are having issues with durability. Please send photos of the damaged EndoMags to support@meanarms.com and we will be glad to help.
Hi Calvin, Sorry you are not satisfied with your EndoMag. I hope you will consider contacting our support to see if we can assist you in resolving the issues you may be having. I checked our support system and I don't see where you have contacted us. We stand behind our products and if we can't resolve your issue (via our lifetime warranty and support) we will refund your purchase. We would have reached out to you but I can't find a record of a direct order with us as I am guessing you purchased from a dealer. I think you will find we have a pretty good reputation for great customer support.

If someone were to make a conversion build from 5.56 to 9mm, will the speed loaders still function properly with the magazine?
Do I need a different buffer than normal carbine for this?

So many endomag failures.....don’t purchase until this is fixed
Ejectors are getting damaged and making the mag useless
Truth
Do those mags work with any AR9. Cause mine kept jamming. Not sure if it’s cause I changed the buffer to a 9mm buffer or what
Hey @jayheredia6975 - Please e-mail support at support@meanarms.com and we will be glad to work with you on the issue.
Just got them today can’t wait to try it.
Do you mind posting a video of your test?
Mine doesn’t hold last round bolt open. Any way to adjust it?
Does this work with straight blowback?
Yes.
mine dont slide in easily like that. will that cause a problem?

So you can ship to Commiefornia since it is limited to 10 rounds?

Please, tell me how you fixed yours. Like a fucking idiot, I bought 2 of these without checking UA-cam 1st for reviews.

@@sfm1022 the main issue is the surface in front of the ejector is to tall and to wide. I think they did that to het more life out of the ejector.
Is there a way this could work with a GI mag?
Will this work on an IWI X95 converted to 9mm?
Wow!!!!! This is great!!!!!
I bought it and I'm upset with this, very bad quality.

Only 10 rounds in a 30rd mag? Better off getting high capacity Glock mags.
bernincoal1 If you watch the entire video, they explain you can cut the round limiter to expand the capacity to a maximum of 30 rounds.
