At most I would suggest that you try one to see if you like it, I thought it really sucked and sold it right away.
 
I always liked the way they looked, never used one never will.

My opinion you could spend the money on ammo to get better at shooting and or take a seminar or course to hone the skills!
In my opinion money being better spent.
 
Honestly I didn't have a problem with Brownells shipping this to me. Still would save you well over $100.

Did you try to order two at the same time? You would have gone over the $100 limit per order for firearm related parts. Try ordering just one or go through the required paperwork to order more.

Once you modify your drills to use one they're a nice addition. Practice quick reloads from the redimag and reload the redimag, not the rifle in lulls. What it does is makes it so you're not fumbling when you need to be shooting and are reloading when you have the time. I've seen a lot of people that use it to just carry a spare mag and next thing you know you have 2 empty mags and the redimag just becomes a hindrance. If you're trying to reload 2 mags at a time you're going to have problems.

Like anything after-market accessory they require a change of your tactics and practice. Most of the people I've seen with them mounted them not knowing ahead how to use them.

Personally I like them and think they're a great addition.
 
Redi-Mags are a nice addition to some weapons.

RobAk and Bartok5 where the ones who got me interested after their experiences with them, and BigRed and I ran around Afghan and Iraq with them on, as have many others on this board.

The first reload is often the most important, and its pretty quick to swap the loaded mag from a Redi-Mag.

The BFG Redi-Mod is IMHO the best of the bread.
 
I have run a Redi Mag ever since '06 overseas. Like others have said, the first reload is the most important. Once that is done tac-load the redimag when you can and bump your mags on your loadout. This coupled with the Magpul BAD is a very slick way to run your gun. What ever you run, just be sure that you practise with it. Fumbling with mags under stress when you really need them is not cool.
I orderd my latest one from Brownells without any issues.
YMMV,

WOW, that Magpul BAD is "Slick",thats the answer to a major frustration I have with clearing stopages, a quick and easy way to lock the bolt back while taking the mag out and not needing a third hand, sweet.

Maybe ill just have to try the damn thing out, like i said i think it looks good but have never used one!
 
whats the experience with Brownells shipping to canada? i need some springs for a gun and when i go to checkout the shipping cost is "to be determined". I have no idea if that means $10 or $100.

does shipping seem reasonable - basically just their cost?

thanks
 
When you have them ship by UPS it arrives in about a week. You'll pay both taxes, a shipping charge and a brokerage fee. Brokerage seems to be based on dollar value. The shipping charge didn't seem huge. the shipping charge is on your card the other fees COD.
