I haven't personally used it but I've researched DBM's to put on my rifle and I'm going with the Lumley Arms one. A little more expensive but you have your choice of either 4140 ordnance steel or 316 stainless construction as opposed to aluminium for the Atlasworxs.

The Lumley is slightly heavier but because it's made out of a harder material it will be more rugged. The Atlasworxs has the potential over time to begin to wear with insertion of a magazine made of steel, may not seem too important but for my money I'd rather the magazine be the sacrificial item because it's cheaper and easier to replace.

All of this may be of no concern to you and you should weigh it up for yourself but my personal opinion is the Lumley is a better unit for not much extra

This is where I was gonna buy it from but apparently they're out of stock. Maybe email them or try Lumley direct, they should be able to sort you out

Actuly that's not to bad for a dBm , found them to be a bit expensive in the past , also another facter is waight some where I read that the steel dBm can ad a pound in waight if i was to use a 10 rnd mag that would almost be two
but that are more rugged
