This absolutely meets the letter of the law with regards to the unSAFE Act.

Not a fixed mag fan but I gotta admit that I don't hate this one,might be worth it to go back to my comfy but unused ergo grip.

I wrote them and asked about the 5rnd capability,,,,,,now I have another question lol,,,,how easy is it to unload? I wouldnt want to have to unscrew that clamp and drop the mag in the field when I'm done hunting and shot at nothing.

This device addresses the biggest problem with a fixed magazine AR. The ability to clear a double feed because you can pull the spring down and drop the rounds.
Marine Cpl

It looks like all you have to do is drop and lock the spring down, open the trap door on the other side, tilt the rifle, and drop the rounds out.
Maybe, still have a magazine in the way if you need to clear a malfunction. The MA loader is faster than this one.
Marine Cpl

A fixed magazine AR is a range toy. At least with this you can drop the rounds easier than taking apart a magazine from the bottom under spring pressure if you have a malfunction and you can unload without having to rechamber every single round and putting a dimple in the primer of each unloaded round.
As far as the MA loader goes at the range, this is still quicker. With the MA loader, you have to load the loader first. That takes more time unless you go to the range with 50 loaders at 30 bucks a pop not including shipping.
For serious work, featureless still beats any fixed mag if you are going to follow laws.

Another good feature about this is the ability to top of the magazine after firing a few rounds.

Once again.... innovation must compensate for stupidity of our leaders.
Your previous statement about unloading sounds like it could work the way that you stated.
As far as loading a couple rnds in that you used,,,topping off,,,,the Mean ARMS loader can do the same thing,,,,pull the charging handle back, put the MA loader in and push more rnds in.

I think you might be able to use the MA loader with this too since it's just a modified magazine body.
Then you'll have 2 ways to load it without having to break the action open.

You don't have to break the action open while using the MA loader, that's the whole point of it. Having said that, this idea has been around for a while, I don't really see the greatness in it. The best thing they came out with was being able to replace extra magazines for stripperclip/sideloaders last year. You could potentially train with decent results using them. Not ideal, but still better than this. You still have to pull something down and open and close a flap just to hand load each round, what's so nice about that? The ma loader is decently quick. You could have 3 or 6 of them in your mag pouch and probably have more fun I'd imagine.
Marine Cpl
.577 Tyrannosaur.
I know that. I'm just saying that you can use the MA loader with this too.
Marine Cpl
.577 Tyrannosaur.
So you are at the range with 3 or 4 loaded MA loaders with this device. After you use them all you can just drop loose rounds in this magazine. If you get a malfunction, you can easily drop the remaining rounds in there and then attempt to clear it.
It's much better than using a regular magazine as a fixed magazine.

I much prefer the bear flag defense speed loader to the mean arms.
From the video, that one does seem to work a little nicer or easier than the MA. Ive never seen it before,,,,thank ya

Oh, so you've tried it out already? What can you tell us about how it compares to your fixed magazine rifle?
Someone needs to show you how easy it is to clear a jam without having to pull out a magazine on an AR already. It's not rocket science, dude. That brings up another question though, do you often have jams in your rifle or something? that's all you ever seem to mention?
Marine Cpl
.577 Tyrannosaur.
No man. I'm just saying based on what I've seen on the video.
As far as clearing goes, not all malfunctions are created equal. Some double feeds do require the removal of the magazine since everything locks up.
Why are you arguing this anyway? It's just a magazine that gives you more options without having to change your magazine release. Why be against it?

I put this in another string, what the heck, I'll put it here too.
"Just sent them an email to ask if a 6.8SPC version is in the works. Or possibly replacing the follower with one for a 6.8 and grinding back the ears to 6.8 specs, anyone know if that can been done. I suspect the rib indents make the interior too narrow, but I got to ask."

I don't agree with your assessment largely due to the fact that it seems mostly based on conjecture alone, and I'll leave it at that. In terms of this new product, I'm not arguing anything. It's just nothing new in design, and I don't see an advantage to adding more steps, parts and pieces only to handload again. That and I can also foresee a potential of binding rounds inside the magazine since there is no sprung tension until the follower is set forward. My initial response was, kind of like, "huh? ok", and so I'm trying to find something that would convince me it's innovative or better in some way.
