Lancer Systems Magazine Cinch

Clamping two magazines together gives you an additional 30 rounds right on the gun. The disadvantage is that the top rounds are exposed and can move under recoil. The solution to that is to roll the magazine into the well rather than pushing it vertically upward.

The Lancer Systems Magazine Cinch is designed to work with L5 30 round M16 magazines but works equally well with USGI M16 magazines. For the L5 magazines it has a special aluminum spacer that stops overtightening of the coupling screws and its clamps fit the ridges on the magazine. The Magazine Cinch is polymer and steel construction and is immensely rugged. It clamps the right hand magazine lower so as not to obstruct ejection when magazines are swapped over.

AR-15 Quick Detach Redi-Mag Review

Posted on May 26, 2011 by admin
Red-mag quick detach

The Quick Detach version of the Boonie Packer Redi-Mag

The Boonie Packer Quick-Detach Redi-Mag is a simple way to have an additional magazine on your AR for an instant reload. The Gen 2 Redi-Mag body is made of steel phosphated to match the appearance of the AR-15 rifle. An polymer Bolt Catch Extension or BCE enables you to release the bolt by slapping the side of the Redi-Mag. This system is much more reliable than improvised methods like taping two magazines together. As there is an independent release for each magazine the system is very flexible and allows for tactical reloads. The top of the Redi-Mag is enclosed to protect the rounds from rain, dirt and sand and to prevent the top round from being released under impact. This is the Generation 2 Redi-Mag with improvements to the original. No alterations to the weapon are necessary. This is the quick detach version of the Redi-Mag – it is also available in a non-quick detach version. Note that the Redi-Mag is designed for forged AR-15, M-4 and M-16 lowers. It will not fit some billet lowers.

Midwest Industries AR Flip Up Rear Sight Review

Posted on May 14, 2011 by admin

The Midwest Industries AR Flip Up Rear Sight deploys with the flick of a finger and locks in the up position with a sturdy ball-bearing detent. Release is via a push button.
