I have a redi mag on my gun, but I only use it if a speedy mag change is needed. (the mag needs a tug to fall free, so if I do use it, the mag that is in the gun falls free and then I pull the fresh one out and over).  If the situation doesnt require a fast mag change I leave the fresh mag in the redi mag and just get one from my vest.  The mag that I have on my buttstock is my "last resort" mag. (it also helps to balance out the tac light, battery, and red dot on the RIS of my SR-16)  I have the paracord mag pulls on all of my mag secured with 100mph tape, they work really well when trying to get them out of your LBV or small arms pouch (the US issue 3 mag holder that goes on your belt).  The TM/CA/G&P mags are all thicker than real M16 mags, so its a tight fit, and the mag pull helps get them out alot quicker.

*Edited cause I called a redi mag a mag pull on accident*

<br />John, those 5 mags I sold you had Paracord mag pulls done like that.

Anyone here ever use a Ready-Mag system?  While many airsofters that do have them usually use them to hold a battery I use mine for what its meant for - holding a spare mag.  It makes mag changes super fast.  If I am in a hurry I usually loop the empty around a finger until I have a better chance to stow it away and re-load the Ready-Mag.  I think its waaay coool man!

While I have spent a small nations fortune on standard mags, those thrifty airsofters that use primarily hi-caps would find this a nice accessory to have on their M4/m16 replicas.

I saw that Mikey, I like the stiffer loops though so I'm figuring out a way to cut the inner cord short and just tuck the thinner ends under the floor plate so the loops don't flop around.

You could also insert somethig into that exposed loop to keep it rigid, John.  CAG D used a section of zip-tie once, and it worked well, but I tried larger gauge wire, and it worked good also.  Another thing I was thinking about, but haven't tried yet, is a section os telephone cord (non-coiled).  It's rectangular/oval in cross-section, and would work well while still maintingg a bit of flexibility.  Give it a try!

Magazine Slots for RIS
« Reply #18 on: May 06, 2004, 01:58:22 PM »
I don't know if this has been done or what, but I had an idea during art this morning of designing a magazine pouch that could attach to an RIS. That would make it possible if you were in an intense fire fight you wouldn't have to reach for your LBV, or if you were prone and had to stay still, you would just need to slide your hand to the pouch mounted to the RIS, and slide out the magazine. I was thinking of a push-pull type release system?
