Anybody notice the two new products from BFG? I got to handle the new BFG LW Redi-Mag today and was very impressed. It is a serious improvement over the old model. I placed two on order right on the spot.
Universal Wire Loop Sling Adapter:
• SS Aircraft cable withstands barrel heat
• Silent alternative to hooks for eyelets
• Coated cable prevents damage to connection points
• Ambidextrous to the max!!
• Fits 1.25” to 1.50” webbing
• Super versatile – makes many sling connection problems ‘go away.’
The sling loop body is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum billet before being tumbled and bead-blasted for a non-reflective surface. The loop is hard-coat anodized before the nylon coated stainless steel aircraft-grade cable is installed with mil-spec ball-shank ends. The result is a sling adapter with limitless uses.
We start with the patented Boonie Packer Redi-mag II Quick Attach version and CNC machine away all non-essential areas to achieve a 25% weight reduction before Parkerizing and assembly. An added benefit of our Redi-modTM is a better view of the magwell for right handed shooters during reloads.
This Redi-mag II has an independent mag catch for use by right or left handed shooters and includes Bolt Catch Extension (BCE). These features allow the shooter to effectively clear bolt-over-base malfunctions. Quick-attach capability allows attachment or removal from issue weapons in minutes. Includes wrench. Fits all M4 Carbines and M16/AR15 rifles.
Quick BFG mount pic. The quality and attention to detail is evident. I’ve used mine on several different weapon systems, and can find no area for complaint.
Once my AK is complete to my liking I’ll be sure to post pics in one of those “keep that tactik00l crap offa my AK” threads that are inhabited by builders and purists who excel at bump-firing.
An unsolicited plug for both new Blue Force Gear items- I prompted Ashley to do the wire loop adapter a while ago and after he took a hard look at the idea he became a big proponent - I was used to the wire loop on the now discontinued Boonie Packer BP5 sling and found it to be very adaptable - in my humble opinion Ashley’s is much better and has the usual BFG quality - it makes many other adapters obsolete and allows you the freedom of putting a good sling on almost anything
The skeletonized Redi Mag was a labor of love for Ashley- he spent some real coin on the tooling and the result is superb - when you look at the ‘state of the art’ set up of a year ago with a standard redi mag with 2 loaded steel HK mags to the set up now of a BFG skeletonized version with 2 loaded P MAGS (verdict is still out on those but results look promising) we have made a BIG step in the right direction of getting the weight down on these varmint caliber carbines we all use that weigh as much as an M1 Garand
Cudos to Ashley and BFG for these two new accessories
