Just curious? Also thinking about getting a Magpul B.A.D. lever system to go with it…if I can ever find anyone that has one in stock…LOL
They seem to make good sense to me atleast.
Thanks in advance.

No. It comes with a little rubber ring that goes around the magwell.
Don’t worry about scratching your rifle. Eugene Stoner designed the weapon so that little scratches on the outside of the receiver do not affect its functionality. 
LOL…I know, I know…scratchs aren’t bad. If it was a battle rifle that has seen battle I’m sure I would love the rash…I just try to keep my stuff nice and take care of things…
Does that rubber deal move around at all? I have tried looking at pics but can’t really see it. Is it cut to match up with the redi mag mount, or does it slip over the entire mag well?
Thanks again for you help.
Shane
It’s cut to fit, and its pretty tight under the redi-mag if the redi-mag is on properly.
I’m Glad that Zeus got what he was looking for.
Thanks for those of you who have been overly nice and willing to help a new guy. I have read on this site for a while now and just started to post. I did a search but did not find that specific answer to my question.
I guess I’ll take my “new guy” questions to the manufacturers which usually takes forever to get answers…over-n-out!!!
Thanks again
Shane
I think your speed reloads and maybe banging the mag home will do more cosmetic damage. To me its more important to train as you fight than worry about scratching it up. IF its a huge issue get one training rifle and one pretty one.
^very good point. i have a redi-mag, lol:D
Travis Haley scratched up my brand new, once-used Larue Tactical lower receiver in my recent carbine class. I just look at it like he autographed it and gave it some more character:)
Seriously though, it doesn’t take long for my ARs to look well used, because they are just that. I obviously wouldn’t want a mint-condition M1 Garand, or similar historical collector’s rifle that is in pristine condition, to be abused and get all scratched and dinged up. But these ARs are meant to be used and abused and ran hard as hell. I don’t care how much I pay for the best, most high quality AR I have, I will run it hard and train with it in different conditions (within my certain physical restrictions).
I think we all start off caring about not scratching and dinging up our guns, but eventually we stop giving a shit and focus on the important things (that’s how I was anyways). It’s sort of like a brand new truck: once you get that first nasty scratch in the nicely painted bed of the truck, you just start throwing shit back there and dragging it out of there without a care in the world except the task at hand.
Semper Fi,

Hey Paul, does your BAD lever touch the lower receiver when locking the bolt back?
Thanks for the pics of you set up, looks good! I just found a site earlier that had BAD levers in stock and have one of them coming…
Next, it time for the redi mag…
Is their a preference to manufacturer on these? One work better than the other?
thanks again

I think only one place makes them…
There’s the “Redi Mag”, which I think is made by Boonie Something.
Then there’s the “Redi-Mod”, which is the same product, but modified. They cut some of the material off to make it lighter weight. I personally think it looks better too, although it’s more places for dirt and dust to get into. The redi-mod is more expensive, by about 70 dollars (If I remember correctly. It could be less.) This is done by BlueForceGear.
A quick google search will link you to both products, though.
I believe they are still being made by boonie-packer.
No it doesn’t. I can get it to touch the lower receiver if I shove directly on it, but it never touches the lower during normal operation whatsoever, on any of the 4 lowers I have it installed on.
BTW, sorry for the late reply, man.

Two Redi-Mods.
No scratches, but I wouildn’t care if there were.
