Right Side View from the rear

Showing the unattached DIY Redi-Mod ReDIY-Mod.

The cutouts are seen and the mag release is also visible. For the Mag release, I drilled and tapped it for a 4-40 oval head stainless screw that I threadlocked in. The screw is to serve as an extension so that when the main mag release is pressed, pressing it further will also release the Redi-Mod stored mag. The cutout serves to lighten the part as well as expose most of the lettering for any SBR markings on a receiver. The Plasti-Dip coating is seen better and was applied numerous times over several hours until it was thicker than the stretched rubber sleeve that came with it. The Plasti-Dip also has the advantage of leaving the openings open so one can read any required markings. Also the rear area that goes within the trigger guard had to be ground slightly to better accommodate a B.A.D. lever without interference.
