Blue Force Gear (BFG) is probably best known for their slings, but one of their items we've been using for a few years is the Redi-Mod. The Redi-Mod is a light weight variation of the Redi-mag® Quick Attach, which Blue Force Gear takes and machines away portions for an overall 25% weight reduction. They also bevel any sharp areas and then finish it so there are no corrosion issues. The machine time and refinishing adds quite a bit to the price tag, but right now BFG has knocked $70 off, giving it a price of $119.95.
What does the Redi-Mod do? Quite simply it allows for the quickest magazine change possible. I know some people will point out they can tape their magazines together or use clips to secure mags, but anyone who has tried that knows how well it works out in real life. The top round edges forward, the clamps don't typically hold, and bolt hold open issues arise when its blocked with a magazine. The Redi-Mod covers the unused magazine, and allows the shooter to continually top off the weapon with a fresh magazine at a lull in the shooting. There are several Redi-Mag versions, and by far this is the one I prefer. While teaching classes I've seen plenty of guys using earlier models, and watched as they dumped magazines, or were unable to lock the bolt to the rear. No such problem with this beast. Installation is simple, and if you can field strip your weapon, dropping this piece in is cake. Click the picture for more information from the manufacturers website, and an installation video.
