So you would say it is much better than the generation 1 latch? Do you think a PRI latch would be better? How many rounds have you had through irifles with tac latches?

All three latches now have the same style catch on them. None of them will damage the upper now. It just becomes a matter of which you prefer. I now just call the Badgers Model 1 and Model 2. I took new pics and put them in my EE ad but I will post them here for the sake of clarity. Bager Ordnance Latches  PRI Military Big Latch  Hope this helps. Denny |

What is different about the newer catches? How can you tell the old ones from the new ones?

The original ones had a sharp hook that engaged the cocking handle notch in the receiver. The new models, they have been around for over a year, have the squared off notch. If you have an older version, no worries, 3 minutes with a dremmel and you have a new model  Denny |

The Gen2 is the perfect latch. Low profile but an improvement over the original. It doesn't torque the weapon like the Gen1 does.

Remove the sharp hook that engages the retaining notch on your upper. If you have the new type as pictured, no mods need to be done. If you have the old model it will be obvious. Denny |

Hmm, I have a squared off hook, but the upper receiver is still getting a little bit more wear... Other then that, a bigger latch makes it much easier to charge the rifle, i'd suggest getting one. |

I am using LMT and CMT, interchagably, just due to availability. Both are top of the line. Denny |
