Binds in magazine throat
Written on Jan 31, 2018
Review for
GG&G Magazine Follower
I have a Mossberg JM Pro. I confirmed with the manufacturer that this item has a slighter tighter tolerance than the stock follower, meaning it fits a bit tighter in the tube. Sounds great, right? Well, I experienced some binding of the follower when loading the first shell. I could load the shell, but it took varying amounts of extra force to load it. The stock follower has a little more play, which allows the critical first shell to be inserted without resistance. The manufacturer suggests sanding the follower slightly and/or polishing the magazine throat with fine grit emory paper. I chose to go back to the stock follower and will not be looking for an aftermarket follower as sometimes stock is as good or better than an aftermarket part. YMMV.

Better options out there
Written on Jan 31, 2018
My first complaint is this is heavy for what it is. It's made of steel, not alum. And since it's out towards the muzzle, you feel this weight more. If you have a Mossberg JM Pro like me, you have a Nordics COmponents Magazine extension and the NC barrel clamp. This NC barrel clamp actually has 10/32 threaded holes in the middle to accept, guess what!?, a pic rail and QD sling adapter! Exactly what this GG&G part does, but in a more elegant solution. IMHO of course. I purchased the NC pic rail and QD sling adapter here on OPticsplanet. I believe the two together are roughly the same cost as this GG&G part. I would suggest going that route if you have the JM Pro.

Slick ambi safety release
Written on Jan 31, 2018
FYI--The levers DO reverse for those lefties (like me). This is not mentioned anywhere in the description AFAIK. Also, the shorter lever will not dig into your trigger finger while the longer lever on the thumb side is great for quick release of the safety. Like some of you, I was trying to choose from the 90 degree throw or 45 degree throw ambi safety. I highly suggest the 45 degree throw. The main reason is it allows you to return the safety to "on" with a quick flip up with your thumb. I don't think you can easily (if at all) flip the 90 degree safety back up to "on". Maybe if you have a large thumb, but I guarantee you the 45 degree angle is much easier for everyone. Highly recommended and reasonable priced. The red safety levers look awesome on my all black AR. IMHO of course.

Pricy but what isn't on aftermarket AR part

Review for
Troy Ambidextrous Magazine Release
SInce I live in CA, I have not installed this on my "assault weapon". However, this and a regular push button mag release are waiting in case of the "SHTF" scenario. Looks like a quality item. Not sure it's a $65 item however. YMMV.
