    5hortbus - yeah, our racks are similar to that, but they're doubles. We have both shotguns and rifles mounted overhead in the extended cab area of the truck. I'd love to see a pic of your rifle with redi-mag in the rack. I hope it works out that way for me.

    Ok, so had to clean the gun. Took some crappy phone pix. Hopefully this will help if youve never seen one in person.










    Scratches are from Magpul bad lever. I liked it, but would not let bolt stay back on last shot.

    Random question. Would modding the new aluminium Redi-Mag like the older Redi-Mod be feasible or due to it being aluminium would it be a no go? I am thinking of picking up the newer aluminium Redi-mag in the near future as soon as 5.56 comes done to non-stupid levels and doing a little training with it since it could be a good piece of kit of duty work once I am familiar with it.

    Appreciate any thoughts on modding it.

Making it more difficult. to access the button if another mag is needed or if a malfunction that necessitates removing it from the magazine well.

    2. If you do need to remove a magazine to clear a malfunction (or even just perform a mag change) under stress you can insert the wrong one. I've done it myself.

    3. The possibility of rounds jumping the feedlips on the uninserted magazine. Companies such as Brownells make covers (and of course the PMAG dustcover) for them to keep this from happening but that is just something else to go wrong and slow you down.

    4. Two mags coupled together are more difficult to manipulate.

    5. Another malfunction related issue: If the uninserted mag is on the left side and you need to lock the bolt to the rear the left mag can make that manipulation slightly more difficult. For me at least es of course the same issues arises w/the Redi-Mag which is one reason I would never run one without a BAD lever.

    Most of the above can be chalked up to a raining makes perfect issue but in my humble opinion their are better more efficient alternatives.

    These are some good points. I'm currently using Magpul's couplers but have looked into the Redi-mag after everyone's recommendations.

    My issue with the Redi-mags is that they add unecessary weight and bulk to a rifle esp if you are trying to keep a lightweight/compact setup. when unused/empty the Redimag is also somewhat uncomfortable; my roomate has a Redimag and I use the couplers, and when we exchange rifles the Redimag gets in the way for me. Personal preference/issue I guess with range and 3gun use.

    I've never had issues with using the mag-release with couplers, or manipulating 2 coupled mags . I've also used Surefire60 mags, and possibly looking into the GL-Stock

    I have used the older/original Redi-Mag and now use Magpul mags and coupler with Arendondo base plates. This combination not only keeps a spare mag on the gun, but the dual Arendondo base plates make for a very sturdy "mono pod."

    I've been happy with both my Redi-mags. Still going strong. I would consider the Maglink as well.

    FAB

    FAB Defense is the only way to go. allows you to carry 10, 20 or 30 rds without interference. Left handed shooters can reload without ever un-shouldering the weapon.
    Redi-Mag is like using a revolver, and we know how many LEO's carry them now.

    GL-Stock is the only way to go.

    Nothing is the only way to go.



    But I'm curious to see how a redi-mag is like using a revolver.
