Tease.

We'll release more hard data to support the use of the included, custom made compression spring, at the same time we'll be able to actually post pics and features. There's a lot to digest, it occurred to me we shouldn't do this in piecemeal

As EMR-A is finishing up last minutes developments, we can share some of its features and attributes:
EMR-A pivots on the receiver (it wasn't designed to go on safe queens)
Custom made spring included (but not required)
Low profile levers
Will not be compatible with battery assist device levers (was not a consideration)
Optional bundling with EMR (through hole) and EMR-C (blind hole) mag release buttons.
We took into account of force amplification afforded by the lever, and this alone explains the lever choices and inclusion of custom made spring.
We will firm up the spring rate this weekend.
Pics to follow when the last minute developments are complete, I'm sure you don't want to see hacked up prototypesLast edited by Duffy; 16 March 2017 at 07:47.

Update on spring rate: the new custom made bolt catch spring is 60% stronger. Made specifically for Forward Controls and the EMR-A, it'll be an optional add-on for the EMR and EMR-C as well.

Still contemplating whether we should offer the springs separately. I'd like to, but shipping is a pain. Maybe a package of 5 springs with shipping included to make it easy.
The extra spring rate spring is helpful in many situations. With armor and pouches, the AR is less likely to accidentally drop its magazine, whether you're a right hand shooter with an ambi mag catch installed, or a left hand shooter with the standard mag release button.
Those with the extended mag release buttons will benefit from an extra power mag catch spring as well. The force amplification afforded by the lever makes the mag release button easier to press and should be countered, the factory mag catch spring is rather soft as it is.

Shown to the public for the first time at Cola Warrior West III, the EMR-A prototype with a modified standard lever.
NOTE: this is a prototype lever, converted to EMR-A's standard lever length from an extended lever, production standard lever will be slightly different and look better.

Two lever options will be available: standard, and extended (0.09 longer). The extended lever will be easier to press due to its slightly longer length.
EMR-A will ship with a 60% extra spring rate mag catch spring. We played with 30% an 40% extra power springs, and came to the conclusion the standard mag catch spring is rather weak to begin with, 30% and 40% doesn't amount to much.
The 60% extra spring rate spring mitigates accidental / unintended mag drops, whether our EMR-A is installed and in use or not. The extra power mag catch spring will be an optional add-on item for EMR and EMR-C. Since EMR and EMR-C both have free shipping already included, the spring (if selected) ships with them for free as well.
As to making the springs available separately, I'm all for it, except it's not practical to list an item for $1 and spend $2.50 to ship it, so more likely the springs will come in a 5 pack.Last edited by Duffy; 27 March 2017 at 19:48.

Nice to see it relieved for KNS type anti-rotation devices. Well thought out, I like it.

Will it be available as a bundle?
