Use your Raddlock BB's to make a fixed magazine lock for your AR15

[protohyp]

I posted a few days back about how you can use your Bullet Button to become a fixed mag lock for your AR15.

Now you can use your Raddlock to do the same. Super simple.

If you know how to take out the internal spring on the Raddlock then you're halfway there.

Just remove the square spacer at the bottom of the Raddlock that holds the internal spring.

Once that is removed insert the other spring that came with your Raddlock so now two springs will be inside it. Reinstall the spacer. Its a little tough because everything is under tension when you try to install. Wear glasses because you don't want springs popping out and poking you in the eye.

Once the spacer is in and the system is closed up, reinstall the Raddlock and reinstall and tighten all the way down and then plug the hole. you now should not be able to actuate the Raddlock because the springs are bottomed out on each other effectively becoming a spacer so that the system cannot be depressed. You can also use a screwdriver to strip out the crown of the Raddlock so it can no longer be removed. Be aware that this is a pretty permanent route and would require some good extraction tools to take it apart if you ever needed to.

If you need to remove the magazine just refer to my other post which has a video that shows how to remove a fix mag using this method to lock it in.

a youtube video would be helpful

Why don't you just tighten the screw all the way and then plug the cap? It's a lot quicker and safer than risking springs shooting across the room.

because you can't.

if you do a youtube search you'll see the not so ingenious ways people can still release the mag

you're welcome Raddlock. I would like a commission so you can continue to sell your product as a magazine lock device

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Oh, nice. Thanks for posting a video

Just be aware that this essentially creates a top loading AR.

There isn't a practical method to exchange mags at the range.

yes...like a fixed magazine such as the DFM. this is unfortunately one of the methods to avoid registration. if you want to register...then go right ahead

The DFM differs in that you can have multiple DFM mags and simply remove them when opening the action.

This method, and the BB method you posted the other day create fixed magazines that require you to pry the magazine out, basically pushing or deflecting the magazine past the mag catch.

I am just making sure everyone understands the consequences of this method as there are other, albeit more costly ways to avoid registration without making a top loading AR. This has nothing to do with registration so cool your jets.

Question: Why not just go featureless with a thordsen stock or something? This seems like a huge annoyance, whereas the thordsen seems like a slight inconvenience.

Unless there's something i'm missing?
