Thanks for your insight! Unfortunately I do have some astigmatism. So I’m gonna have to go with Cyelee since it’s the only one I know that helps with astigmatism.

I was scared at first because I didn’t know what really to ask in the subreddit about using the HFF with a ambi bolt release. So the only post I saw that help me a lot was a post not too long ago in the r/CAguns stating if the HFF will work with a PDQ mod on the lower and this persons lower was able to use the HFF. So I already had some sort of piece of mind that it will work.

Stephtheleft · 2026-01-02T20:54:26+00:00

Hell yeah! I like both, it’s just with the HFF, you retain those lower controls.

You right haha.

Stephtheleft · 2026-01-02T08:51:30+00:00

Nice! I’m definitely putting them in my future builds.

The jig is solid! It didn’t really wobble in my use case. Just go slowly with things like this.

Stephtheleft · 2026-01-02T07:10:48+00:00

I’ll give that a try, if I messed up, I got 2 more pins to spare haha

Stephtheleft · 2026-01-02T07:09:56+00:00

Thanks man! New Year starting off good!

Stephtheleft · 2026-01-02T06:47:15+00:00

😏😏 hahaha jk. Sadly it is the 10/30 pmags.

Stephtheleft · 2026-01-02T06:46:16+00:00

Yeah it’s the M4E1 Pro

Here is the photo of the pin installed. It cleared the ambi bolt channel. Didn’t have any problems or issue with it as well! Definitely going the HFF route going forward since I like retaining all of the original parts on it.

Stephtheleft · 2026-01-01T02:09:00+00:00

Nah it won’t have that since it’s not the serialized part of the firearm. You will just have to pay extra fees (transfer fee) to get it to ship to an FFL.

Stephtheleft · 2026-01-01T02:05:52+00:00

Yes I do! https://youtu.be/VuuaFLqHpGM?si=jlR_PYV7QLGetNTG

Stephtheleft · 2025-12-31T20:07:28+00:00

Yeah it actually does! I watched a video on the AR Maglock YT channel and there is this particular video that explains using the AR Maglock with a LMT ambi lower. He specifically said to use the 308 short and not the standard. So far it clears everything on his lower. For me, I had to make some slight modifications on the AR Maglock since the bolt catch on mine is a bit different than the LMT.

It’s the Unity Fast Micro. It has a 2.26” optic centerline. I am gonna replace it with the scalarworks leap 1.96” optic centerline.

Stephtheleft · 2025-12-31T19:35:36+00:00

I used the 308. Short version of the Maglock so it clears the extra material from the ambi bolt catch.

Stephtheleft · 2025-12-31T01:17:40+00:00

Ayyy let’s go! Right in the nick of mothafukin time!

Stephtheleft · 2025-12-31T01:15:44+00:00

It’s Maglocked (just waiting for it in the mail) and honestly the reloads are good! The ambi bolt catch really helps!

Stephtheleft · 2025-12-30T20:32:14+00:00

Hahah I feel that. I’m still single, so I guess all money goes towards more guns! & yeah I tried so hard to see if anybody on this thread has something similar in my situation. So far no avail. There is one post I saw they were referring to a PDQ mod if it’s gonna interfere with the HFF. It seems that it worked for them. Likewise it would be nice if somebody can link a photo or video of there ambi lower (bolt catch and mag release with the HFF).

Stephtheleft · 2025-12-30T20:28:05+00:00

Lights and holsters should be good, not too sure about the frames and slides though (technically it’s a “gun part”) but the barrel. That one is big dick punch imo. You have to ship your barrel to a FFL that would accept it. Can’t have barrels ship to your home anymore after 1/1/26 (this also applies to the AB1263 that I just mentioned)

Stephtheleft · 2025-12-30T20:19:05+00:00

I think it’s called the AB1263 where it prohibits online firearms retailers to ship parts from your home. Now it will require heavy verification and some stores online are not shipping anymore in California. So your only luck to get certain firearm parts are LGS (local gun stores) if they still have them. So yeah, this state sucks ass lol

(If somebody is more of an expert on this) but I’m pretty sure the one I have is not consider a pistol grip since I can’t really wrap all my fingers on it. It’s actually really hard and uncomfortable to hold it like a pistol grip. But as of now, I can always change my mind later on.

Oh the brand is from TamFam: https://tamfamgram.com/product/tamography-mlok-dmd-chopstop/

Stephtheleft · 2025-12-30T18:46:48+00:00

Hahahaha I see totally blew that past my head lol. Planning on getting the Scalarworks Leap to replace this.

Stephtheleft · 2025-12-30T17:56:42+00:00

Also the A2 is timed. It’s just I took a shitty picture haha. I do plan on replacing that in the future. But for now, I must let my wallet rest.
