uscmCorps Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Pretty sure its the newer Redi-Mag system. -Vic It's called the "REDI-MOD". For anyone interested in it, keep in mind that AEG mags are shorter (at the top) and thicker overall compared to RS AR mags. As such, you may encounter problems such as: (1) AEG mag being too thick, and (2) you can see the top of the AEG mag through the open sides of the REDI-MOD. May not end up being a problem at all... it's just kinda of expensive to find out. Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyDevil Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Anyone have any pictures of the G&P Slim Rail Covers on an M4 (or variant) or know if they look anything like Magpul's Ladder-style rail covers when on a gun? Link to post Share on other sites

They look similar, but not identical. I prefer real Magpul ladders. Link to post Share on other sites

Random question but: Pradal-Serey, could you take a pic with one of your DD M4's with the silencer on? I'm building something very similar, just need to know how it looks overall.

I'm building something very similar, just need to know how it looks overall. Sorry mate, that gun is dissasembled for now waiting for its new DD hanguard (I've ordered the grade A version they sent me a grade D or worse with greyish finish ) If you can wait for a couple of week, I'd be glad to do those pics . By the way, I plan to swap the CTR for a UBR, black still, and i bought a fake gas piston block. (50bucks for something hidden in the hadguard, hope It worth it) Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well I'm just using a G&P Low-Pro gas block with a DBoys gas rod - fine for me . You don't happen to have an ACOG to fit on the receiver do you? I need to figure out how far forward an ACOG would be if I also put a MBUS on there (awaiting a rear to come in). Where'd you get a UBR?!?! Is there any way to fit a battery source in there? If there is I'm definitely getting one. Link to post Share on other sites
Frakk2k Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 DD MK18 7" with Vltor gasblock works fine btw. I still think it looks a bitt odd, as the block semi sticks out. Might be my barrel that is to long or short, im not sure yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Foxhound Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Isnt it not a M7A1 if it has a long barrel? Link to post Share on other sites

I've been ogling the redi-mod for awhile now, but simply cannot justify the cost for something that might not even work for AEG magazines. I know I'll garner sneers for saying this, but I'd like someone to "clone" it. Either an mainstream company or someone in China. edit: Tangentially, it would be pretty simple to dremel(?) / cut down a redi-mag to reduce the extra weight.

skyflash Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 what flash lights and mount is used on this rifle? The small flashlight is a Surefire M1 (infrared illuminator), the big one look like a Surefire M600 Scoutlight with different head. The mount is a Larue LT-607 double stack.

aznriptide859 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 DD Mk18 RIS II M4 with, oddly, PS90 outer barrel. For some reason, it looks kinda good. EMBOOS Need opinions though. For my 10.5" outer should I add: Noveske KX3 POF FH Gemtech Silencer 14.5" Outer w/ Phantom FH PS90 Outer Barrel Arrgh, so many decisions! HELP! Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can dremel a regular AEG Redi-mag to get the same effect. Anyone with an AEG Redi-mag, when a magazine is inserted, does it extend to the top of the Redi-mag? What stops the magazine from pushing up past the magazine catch? G&P Redi-mags are relatively inexpensive: http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?i...Magazine%20Clip Link to post Share on other sites
pforcerecon Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) It extends to the top. I had the Classic Army version and it was pretty much flush with the inserted magazine that was in the gun. There was little play, but basically extending to the top. Note: This was done using the AMP 450rd hi-caps that are bigger and more RS sized. Not sure if they same would be with something like a CA or Marui mag or any other that is much smaller compred to a standard real AR mag.

So long as the mag is a standard AEG mag, it doesn't matter how much longer they are. above the mag catch hole, they're all the same length which means they're subject to the same amount of up/down movement within the redi-mag.

Magsz Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Im a little confused as to why you people seem so interested in redimags all of a sudden? They are hardly useful for airsoft purposes since we have to retain our magazines during a reload. The redimag shines with firearms because it allows the user to have a fresh source literally an inch away from their magwell. The manual of arms for an airsoft gun is slightly different from the real thing and either way your reaction hand is going to have to go to the dump pouch at some point, redimag or not. I just think its funny that redimags have been around for YEARS but very few people had any interest in them. Travis starts rocking the redimag, slaying costas beard and all of a sudden its the new rage. What ever happened to function over form? Oops, airsoft, nevermind. Link to post Share on other sites

Gigueand Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) I was always taught that when using a redi-mag you grasp both the used mag and the "readied" mag, eject the used magazine while holding onto it and unslot the "readied" mag from the redimag system simultaneously, move your hand slightly to the right and insert the "readied" magazine into the weapon. In this situation the used magazine is never dropped, but kept on hand until after the reload is complete. Once the weapon is ready to be fired and the used magazine is then dumped. I never had a problem with reloading as such with my old redi-mag system. I found that it was faster than fishing a magazine from a pouch. The drawback was the weight of the system. edit: travis? costas beard? I'm not in the know... Edited February 21, 2009 by Gigueand Link to post Share on other sites
