Pretty much my thoughts. I am pretty sure that there is now an aluminum version that is pretty much the weight of the old Redi mod, or at least there was last time I had nosed around looking at them some months ago. The only other options for carrying ammo on the rifle are going to be buttstock pouches, which generally leave something to be desired, as well those and the jungle mag type set ups, which, again have their own issues. Only thing I can think of in my caveats would be to train with it so you are comfortable with the change in the manual of arms, since if I remember right things can be a little different, with the bolt release being a bit different, though it has been literally years since I messed with one, and that was on a friend's rifle who was running a BAD lever and I was still running them as well.
