    You are in the process of performing remedial malfunction clearance - smack/rack didn't fix the gun.

    The first step of a rip drill is to lock the bolt back - this removes spring tension off of the internals of the gun. When you next move to rip the mag out it allows rounds and cases to fall free. Attempting to rip the mag out first can be tough and can sometimes damage the feedlips.

    It doesn't look like this device puts any stress on the magazine, so it remains free falling, while your hand works the CH.

    Do you think that damaging the magazine (that should be out of service anyway, IMHO) could still happen without physical force being applied?

    I'm not sure I understand your question - how have you been taught to perform remedial malfunction clearance?

    When you say ''remedial malfunction'' are you referring specifically to double feeds or bolt override?

    In the event of a bolt override wouldn't you drop the magazine anyway? (Empty case between bolt and CH, as described in https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=70806, or live round, etc.)

    Sorry, if I just went full retard, but what problem are you proposing this device would cause?

    I don't have a dog in the fight, I'm just pointing out what I'm noticing.

    I didn't propose that it would cause any problem - what are you talking about?

    Okay, sorry. I must have misread or something.

    I thought this quote was implying that this device could damage the magazine or something.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    ETA: Sorry for cramming up the thread.

    I think it is perfect the competition/3 gun world. But for a military/LE application, I am not convinced. But novel idea none-the-less. For .mil/LE, I feel the KAC design is king, and the B.A.D. is right behind it, IMO.

    This was always a drill that was time consuming more for a right handed shooter than a lefty as we used our trigger finger to reach the bolt catch, I had a chance to play with the A-DAC lower and i think it is the lower to have right now. It will require a little getting used to but i think it is the best solution for a right handed shooter.
    what do you think?
    I have to say that being an Army veteran myself and practically growing up with this weapon in my hand I have to say this is a definite and very welcome plus. Josh is colleague of mine in the industry and I know him well. Recently I had a chance to play around with this lower and I was surprised at how easy it is to use. At first my muscle memory retarded me a little, but after just a few minutes of practice it was easy to master. I read some members think this is fine for 3 gun but not for military use, I beg to differ and I'd like to see one good reason why not. From the firts time I picked up an M16A1 many years ago I couldn't help thinking the bolt catch and the procedures associated with it were a poor design that left much to be desired (a royal pain in the butt IMHO) One thing I really appreciate is that he used the mag catch and didn't go with an add on lever that could break or clutter things up. Nothing about maintaining the weapon system has changed and the look is still familiar. I've read some of your comments and concerns about interference with the magazine and I can honestly tell you have no worries like that with this lower. The beauty of his system is that there are no external mods, everything is internal and the common mechanical features still finction as intended. I always hated having to lower my rifle from my line of sight to clear a jammed/stuck magazine or a double feed. With this new lower you don't have to and applying things like S.P.O.R.T.S. is still used as second nature-remedial/immediate action is simply faster. I agree with Looey x2: the A-DAC lower is the lower to have right now. The only thing that leaves me wanting now-is when do I get mine!

    I've got a bunch of survival guides on my Kindle, so I'm ready for an EMP.
