    Keeping the extra weight between the hands is going to be optimal, assuming your rifle is well balanced to begin with. A mag coupler (or even a separation block and some rigger's tape) would serve the requirement until you decided whether the Redi-Mod was right for you. I'd definitely use a P-Mag with storage cover on the off mag to keep debris out of it.

    RE: FAB Defence stock from Magpul

    I've seen these but have not heard anything about them - anybody out there?

    I have one of those and use it with a 20-round Pmag.
    A 30-round mag is usable.
    The 10 rounder they provide with the stock becomes invisible.
    The stock keeps the weight of the extra mag up against the shoulder and doesn't affect the balance (while shouldered - otherwise it's obviously tail heavy).

    A problem is they are only available in non-mil-spec tube size.

    I like it, gimmicky or not.

    Edit - these are available from the Mako Group, not Magpul.

    Given the same imposed choice I would opt for this. It would seem to me that much like other unneccesary rules it is best to do as little as possible to comply, yet follow the rule.

    I have one of those double-magazines (mag coupler) and I never use it. It simply changes the balance of the weapon and makes it that much more unwieldy. At least in the stock you can use a lower-capacity magazine and it is out of the way.

    However, wouldn't a standard capacity magazine in that stock get in the way? Glad to hear someone say it is not a problem with a 30 rounder... but perhaps the other post saying it makes it tail heavy....I dunno.

    What EXACTLY does your department's policy say, word for word?

    Actually. it's not that bad.
    Watch the video on their site - the mag isn't in the way at all while shooting. Other weapon handling would take some getting used to with a standard mag hanging out.
    A mag change takes longer than from a belt holder, but the ergonomics are right on.

    Looks like the OP is MIA...

    You're dating yourself.. and me too. The Styer product was a bolt gun though.

    I'm going to stick one of these on one of my lowers and see how it balances out with a patrol rig. (RDS+light+ hand stop or stubby vert grip)

    I'm not seeing how a 30 rounder sticking out of the bottom of the stock isn't going to make a magazine monopod prone position run out of upward elevation really fast.
    I'm not seeing a benefit to the stock over a Redi-Mag.
    Further interested in the drop testing results of the mag-stock.

    The idea of having extra mags around is an old one. Some forms of it work better than others.

    Probably my favorite is this lil guy that is my "go to hell" squirrel rifle

    Got a used one several years ago and have been real happy with it.
