Exclamation A better way to lock your mag...

I followed up with Darin on his detachable mag lock kit and it looks like a very nice setup. As you can see from the picture below it blends in very well.
The button is aluminum, and will come with the allen wrench, set screws, and installation/locking instructions. It can be used on all AR-15 type rifles and AR-10 rifles using a stock AR-15 button.
The button can also be used as a real mag button when you go out of state without removing the unit. Simply turn the allen screw counter clockwise 3 times and bingo, it works as a real button. Turn it back 3 times, and it now locks the mag with a "tool"per CAL DOJ requirements.
With the allen countersuck as it is, there is NO WAY an overzelous DA could manipulate it by hand without a tool.
These do not have the large allen head screw as seen in other threads. Set screw is exactly as pictured below.


Darin will include instructions for several levels of locking. Level one is more than adequate fo complying with the law as stated by the state of California.

Level 2 will be to remove the spring and use one setscrew.
Level 3 will be to remove the spring, and add another setscrew on top of screw #1
Level 4 will explain how to epoxy or superglue the second screw in place.

Everyone will find a warm fuzzy place at one of those levels.


If you would like to purchase one or more of these please send me a private message or email

Depending on how much it is, I'd likely be interested in one or two.

In order to comply with forum rules, this thread is mostly to inform and get feedback on how people like this type of lock compared to the others out there. Sales and such will be done in the For Sale section so this thread won't be locked.

If there is enough interest I'll buy the units and package them for delivery to you. I will list this and the details in the For Sale section at that time.

Care to tell us where to get the parts, and what parts are they? We can do it ourselves.

Using this username till admin fiqures out what gives with plain old Prince50,

Anyway. Working with Hawk1 to get these to you quickly. Since he in fact contacted me first, I can not comment on pricing, but it will be reasonable for sure.

As to making this yourself, I hesitated to even send PICS for that reason. This is a simple design, Hawk and I will keep the price below what you could build one for, (Cuz I buy all parts in bulk). Finally, the idea is worth somthing isn't it?

I am going to include instructions for several levels of locking. Level one is more than adequate fo complying with the law as stated by the state of California.

Level 2 will be to remove the spring and use one setscrew.
Level 3 will be to remove the spring, and add another setscrew on top of screw #1
Level 4 will explain how to epoxy or superglue the second screw in place.

Everyone will find a warm fuzzy place at one of those levels.

I can read english well, so my rifles will be configured level 1. When you guys see this you will too.

Parts should be done by Friday at the very latest. Hawk should post pricing soon, as he can figure out basic quantities by now.

Thanks Hawk.

Darin

This makes me wich I had bought a second receiver..maybe down the road I will...

Anyway, this is a truly awesome idea and I'll definitely take one off your hands for my AR project. To me, this is like a breakthrough, and you have my thanks for such a genius idea.

When do you think you'll have these ready? My AR15 project is for May this year..
