Most Helpful Positive Review Only mag release I use

Just completed my 50th build and I won’t use any other mag release than this one. Inexpensive, good quality, reliable...what else do you need? Finish has held up on all the builds, even under heavy use. Button design is nice and I like the recessed area on the paddle portion itself. Just ordered sev...

Most Helpful Negative Review Not what I hoped for.

The magazine release is disappointing in two ways. Its glossy black and the button is too smooth. I dont want shiny and overly slick controls on my ar. I should have sent it back. I m not putting it on the gun i planned on.

Better than standard mil-spec.

by Chris, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on August 23, 2021

I have several of these. I personally don't like the curved button, as I prefer using flush buttons, but the overall product is superior to the mil-spec catch that comes with lower parts kits. Also, the shorter length of part of the catch that screws into the button is perfect for any billet mag buttons that do not screw all the way through. The finish can vary on these.

Can't go wrong

by Jim F., Verified Owner from NV, United States Written on August 10, 2021

Battle Arms as a company make some pretty solid stuff. So for the price of this it was a no-brainer. It has a great feel and looks good installed in the gun. What I like the most is the spring it comes with. It is about twice as heavy as a normal spring. So if you have a weapon that recoils a little more than your typical 5.56, this will keep your mag from falling out. My 8" x39 would drop mags all the time. Not anymore.

Great high quality mag release.

by T-Rizzo, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on April 15, 2020

I really like the bevel on the bar, adds a nice slim feel to the piece. Solid button and spring. Besides the design its about as close to a plain and simple mag release as one can get. Just make sure you install it before the bolt catch or its a PITA to install correctly! I like a tight fit with my mags and it wasn't possible with a UTG bolt catch already installed.

Nice mag release

by John S, Verified Owner from NV, United States Written on April 5, 2020

Solid one piece construction and the button is enlarged and sits deeper in the receiver for positive lock-up of the magazine and height adjustability. Contour and texture is ergonomic. You can set it higher or lower than a regular magazine release. Relief cut in the bar keeps it as light as standard. Will be my go-to mag release from now on. Spring is under more tension than standard buttons because the bottom actually sits lower inside the receiver once installed but it’s a pro not a con for me as it definitely deters bumps and dropping mags. I’m sure it will break in over time and feel softer.

Pros:

Ergonomic, adjustable

Cons:

Stiffer spring/preload

Best Used for:

all purpose

The Best Mag-Release

by GSP24, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on January 4, 2020

I bought my first one for my B.A.D. lower receiver. I liked it so much, I bought another for my other rifle. I love the closed look of the mag release button, and unlike other company's (Seekinz), it doesn't stick out more than the standard mil-spec buttons. The mag-release itself is a better looking option than other mil-spec mag releases. All and all, it is a great product.

Pros:

Good Looking, Not Bulky

Cons:

Makes you want to ditch your mil-spec parts.

Best Used for:

An upgrade from mil-spec

Very nice bolt catch

by Ripzip, from WA, United States Written on December 17, 2019

Works great have it on 3 of my AR's. Alowes you to keep both hands in fireing position and still release the bolt.This is very helpful if you are doing load development where you might be loading a single round at a time.

Pros:

Easy to install
Convient to release bolt
Do not have to worry about screws coming loose like add on units

Cons:

Might get caught on loose items
Bigger than just the standard bolt release
