I've got two now, one on my Matrix build and just added one to an AR-15. The 308 model was real snug but some light sanding and I have a perfect fit. I had to adjust the detent down on the AR-15 model but it is a perfect fit. So far I really like them. They have two models in FDE for the AR-15 on sale right now for $7.50;

I saw that but what's this all about?

 

***This model is not intended for use on Billet Upper Recievers*** If you have a billet upper you will need the Enhanced UDC.

[jtallen83]

The enhanced has a slot inside that lets you pull in the pin from there if the hole for the hinge is covered like most billet models, the standard model you have to push the hinge pin in from the outside, if you pop it into one with a closed hinge hole you'll be breaking it to get it off.

"Billet and other certain Mil-Spec Upper Receivers have the port door hinge capped off so the original UDC will not be able to be taken off once installed so make sure to get the Enhanced UDC."

Have one on the 308. Works well but I prefer the metal ones. Not really a part I plan on removing, but install is easy.

[jtallen83]

So far the polymer hasn't given me any issues but I haven't had one out in any real cold yet. I wish I could get a metal one with the same adjustable detent, it would minimize the wear and insure good functioning.

You twisted my arm hard enough last night JT I ordered 2 of the clearance and one 308

 Mine work fine , I will not install another std one , they will all get one of these.

I put one in my new build. I instantly wondered why anyone would go back to the old style.

Love these things, have them on all my ar-15s and the the first thing I ordered for my 308 build! Will be getting one for the Gredel I plan to start right after the 308.
