This release looks really nice. It does function as it’s suppose to but it adds wobble slop to my magazine button. I assume this is because the post is shorter (as stated). I do like it & it is quality but my OCD hates the slop.
Would recommend: Yes

I use these on any build that I don't use ambidextrous magazine releases on. They match well with dimpled take down pins. (The ones with the indentions to push them out with a bullet tip) For eight and a halved Pieces of Eight would recommend for anye me mates blunderbuss'
Pros:
- Looks Great but still cheap.
Cons:
- None (Cloaking device not included)
Would recommend: Yes

This magazine catch works well, not rocket science, and looks different. I wanted to customize my build with a set of lower parts that were different than mil-spec so I chose this one. The looks are good but the overall size of the part is smaller than mil-spec. I installed it, and after my bolt catch was in I decided it did not look right, so I took it all off and started fresh with a mil-spec catch (PIA to remove the bolt catch and risk of marring my receiver, which I did). The mils-spec part looks are just ok but the part fills the entire cavity leaving no gaps, whereas the BAD one is a bit recessed and smaller. Function of both parts was adequate and after debating looks went back to the Battle Arms one. So keep this in mind. Also the lower was an Aero Precision.
Cons:
- Smaller, bit recessed vs mil-spec
Would recommend: Yes

The negative reviews on this piece seem to revolve around it being shorter than Mil-Spec. That is the point. This mag catch is made for larger or blind-hole buttons like Forward Controls EMR-HC, etc. to ensure that they don't protrude over the fence. It will pull the button in tighter so do not use this with a standard button unless you want it recessed very tight.
Pros:
- Solid, short, well-priced
Cons:
- Not digging the grove on the bar, looks like a gunk collector
Would recommend: Yes

Not an absolutely necessary item, but makes a nice inexpensive upgrade for your lower receiver. Adds a little flair and gives a billeted look to your mag catch. I was always a little annoyed by having a nice looking receiver with a dull phosphate section where the mag catch was but it wasn’t that big of a deal. When upgrading to a custom billet set, the dull phosphate catch stuck out big time. I found this guy and installed it and couldn’t be happier. Functions as expected and looks way better.

Looks good, works good, built good, I have put these on a couple rifles and it's worth the upgrade from standard mil spec, it's actually cheaper then mil spec and seems to be made better. The shorter length also good for using with odin works mag releases.

Honestly, not much to say on this aside from this is a very nice and high quality mag release.
It does exactly what it needs to, and the little slot machined out of the side adds just a little visual interest to it as well (and possibly the slightest of weight savings).
Good part
Pros:
- Solid well built
- Aesthetic
Best Used for:
- hunting
- Tactcal
- Home defense
- Target shooting
Would recommend: Yes

This is not a milsepc part like it says in the description. It is shorter than milspec and most likely will work well with the battle arms development magazine button due to theirs being a blind hole. Overall it has a nice finish and the price is better than milspec ones.
Pros:
- Finish is nice, looks cool
Would recommend: No

This is a great product if you combine this with a spring and a billet mag button, you will have an amazing setup that looks great and is very light weight, and you are only about $18 out the door for a good upgrade for function and increased aesthetics

Never thought a great deal about changing the mag catch out but do like the finish of these mag catches. It goes well with the AERO receiver finish. These are a must if you use the Battle Arms Development mag catch button since these have the shorter length. Have both the FDE, which has the better feel, and the black anodized button. Looks good and find mag release operation slightly improved.
Pros:
- Finish , feel and funstions as it should
Would recommend: Yes
