Description
EMR-A v2,Short is a shorter version of EMR-A v2. EMR-A v2 (2024 to present)replaced the v1 EMR-A (2017 to 2024).
EMR-A v2uses the familiar and superb Norgon Ambi-Catch mechanism where the entire magcatch plate pivots when pressed on the left side, whereas EMR-A v1 used analuminum lever attached to the magazine release plate and when the lever ispressed, the plate is lifted away from the receiver.
EMR-A v2,Short bears striking resemblance to the Norgon Ambi-Catch since it uses theNorgon mechanism. The short EMR-A v2 has the texture we designed forEMR-A, i.e. 20% of the textured section is raised and forms a shelf to provideadditional purchase. EMR-A v2, Short has a small plate/lever, there isn’tmuch surface area to work with, this in turn makes a good texture moreimportant.
Two leveroptions are available. Standard and short. For duty and defenseARs, we recommend the short lever, as the plate sits inside the mag catch slotand is lower in profile.
A 10.9lbrated magazine catch spring is included with each EMR-A. We’ve longconsidered the standard magazine catch spring to be rather weak (rated at8.3lb), accidental / unintended mag drops can take place if a user slings hisweapon, and has gear and pouches on the vest. A stiffer mag catch springmitigates these risks, thus it is an integral part in the EMR-A package.
EMR-A v2 isshipped with a 10.9 in lb spring. While EMR-A v2 doesn’t use the main magcatch since it has its own spring, the 10.9 in lb spring makes the right sidemag catch button stiffer and less prone to accidental magazine drops.
The LP (lowprofile) mag catch shaft reduces the mag catch shaft length by a fullrevolution, or 0.03. The LP option on the EMR-A reduces the installedheight of the right hand mag release button, resulting in a right side magrelease button that sits below the mag release fence. This is our lateststep to mitigate accidental / unintended mag drop risks.
The LP onthe EMR-A will not reduce the EMR-HC’s installed height on an AR15/M16 to thepoint where EMR-HC doesn’t constitute accidental / unintended mag droprisks. The LP option’s shorter mag catch shaft aims to reduce theinstalled height of a TDP spec mag release button (such as our EMR-H), it isn’ta solution for extended mag releases, the installed height of which wouldrequire a drastically shorter shaft to offset.
