Jackalope Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 DMW Speedbar or GG&G Tactical Bolt Pad ? Pros and cons of each please only if you have experience with them. I know the prices so no need to comment on that. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Have used both (and others). DMW: It's cheap. Easy to install. I didn't like it. Its operation wasn't positive enough, at least for me. It's held in place by the back of the forearm. Didn't like that. GGG: Expensive. Somewhat harder to install. I like it. Most of my B's have them now. Positive operation. Large pad, easy to manipulate. The button/pad interface is machined so it's not going to easily come undone. There are others. I have one similar to the GGG but about half the price. Less substantial button/pad interface but no problems as yet. (TAC2, if you're interested.) Nordic, haven't tried yet but would like to.

Creeper Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) I have the DMW speedbar. I find it to work just fine and like the idea that it's neither permanent or requires modification to the gun... but, I'm left handed and hit the bar with my thumb, so perhaps my comments are of somewhat limited value. Just found out about a new bolt release button on the market, might be old news to some, but... Taran Tactical Innovations.

Jackalope Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Alright Uno, how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Alright Uno, how much? It ran me about $85 or so after shipping. However, that button is Cerakoated with the same stuff as the mag-tube. That came as a personal favor + shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalope Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 So how much larger than the stock release is it and how do I get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCKETW19 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 So how much larger than the stock release is it and how do I get one? thats the bad part you gotta make it. I have the skills of a monkey so I didnt do it but i can lift heavy things. I never had a problem finding the stock botton so I didnt worrie to much or i would of went to gun smith. then again I only shoot paper targets with mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unobtanium Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It measures 0.438" diameter with my calipers. OEM measured 0.238".

Creeper Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 You say it's easy to install? I want this, but I dont know how to install one. Can you elaborate on this? You simply loosen the mag tube nut, slide the forend forward a bit, slip the Speedbar onto the receiver, slide the forend back and tighten down the mag tube nut. No modifications at all, although some have trimmed a little notch into the forend plastic to make the fit and operation a little smoother. [ATTACH=CONFIG]1604[/ATTACH] Advantages: No screws to break or loosen, no wobbly or missing buttons due to broken or loose screws. Gun can be returned to original condition, with the exception of a few wear marks on the receiver and any material you felt you needed to remove from the forend, in the time it takes to write this. It works. Cheers, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unobtanium Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 How did you attach that button Uno? It threads into the drilled/tapped bolt-release sold by Tac-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
