Bad Lever, Good Lever?

[EPS]

When I go to her house same thing .
She knows I have a gun and has a spot for it at her house .
Like me love me or just use me .
But don't try to change me . that's the way it is

When did Colt make the 10rd Mags ? I am asking because I have a few never knew much about them.

In regard to the levers I have bought two, they are as yet uninstalled. I am going to try a lighter build for the wife and put one on it. If she likes it....

Bad Levers, Nope, nada, never gonna...
Cup holders slow you down. Gotta be mobile....

I'v been using them since they first came out, 15yrs or so ago. Been thru some raids and various scrapes on the street and forest, never been a problem for me.

Am right handed and prefer to keep it on the grip, or fire control...instead of the cumbersome hand switch to lock the bolt back.

As has been said...if you choose to use one, train with it extensively before putting it to use...but that should be for every piece of equipment.

When I shoot high power the benefit of having a bolt release I can activate without having to reach over the top of my scope is very beneficial. It allows me to maintain my cheekweld and not disturb my npa. Moreover I dont risk having my shooting coat sleeve contact the scopes adj turrets and risk an inadvertent setting change. I recently purchased a boonie packer extended bolt catch and like it very much. it has some features magpuls doesnt and is described well on their website. They are in oregon.

No idea. But they did make 5 round mags starting 1994, so probably the AWB era.

5 round Colt magazines have been around at least since 1969...
The Gun Digest entry for the Colt AR15 states:

Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine
Semi-automatic , gas operated carbine. cal 223. Barrel , bolt , recoil buffer and stock assembled as a straight line unit , minimizes barrel jump on recoil.
Magazine blocked to 5 rounds
Over-all 39" , bbl21", weight 6 3/4 lbs.
Price includes two magazines, sling , flash suppressor , recoil pad and assembly and maintenance manual...$215.00

So at least as far back as 49 years ago , the AR15 from Colt , came with two 5 round round magazines.
Be careful then , when speaking of or the topic of , a "Standard" AR15 magazine comes up...
Just what is "standard...?
What came from the factory...? or What time period we are talking...
What is commonly found in stores / online...?
What the military uses...?

Note I no have issue with however many cartridges a magazine holds...it makes no difference to me.
You should be able to have a 5 , 10 . 20 , 30 , 100 or whatever...count magazine.

Thought it was around late 80s they did that. How about the 10s?

 

[Andy54Hawken]

I have never seen a Colt marked 10 round magazine , nor have any reference to one in my library.
( Doesn't mean that there ain't any ...just that I haven't seen one... )
The photo in the Gun Digest ad..looks just like 20 round magazine.

I surely do have them I will have to post some pictures I got them off a guy I buy from off Ebay.
Was kinda pricey but I also had not heard of them so was a impulse buy

 

[DuneHopper]

@AndyinEverson Here They are well two of them.
They were in a sealed older pouch. Unfired so far. I double checked and loaded 10rds
and thats all they hold.

 

[Boboclown]

My guess is AWB mags and possibly for ban states now. If they are legit Colt mags and not just promag ones or whatever with Colt floorplates.

 

[DuneHopper]

They were sealed in the original oily bag made me think they came with the sale somewhere as they were not resale bags.
I think you are right though they are most likely make for banned states that make sense. I know they aren't promags as I have other colts and they are the same as these . Thanks though that make more sense.

I can live with them or with out them. My favorite is my side charge. To be honest I find it quicker and easier to just rack the slide instead of hitting the bolt release.

Surely you should just have an AK instead.

Surely you should just have an AK instead.

For some reason they just don't do anything for me.

What we are freinds .

I am in the sinister people club and had my early childhood run-ins with the nuns not wanting to see the handwriting of Satan, even with crayons...

Prefer a side charging AR, prefer to use the CH instead of bolt release...

You belong with the AKs or FALs. Don't deny the hidden truth.

 

[Basedgreaser]

To the OP why not get an integrated bad lever?
And ide ratherside chargethis then an ak bobo
