Reviews & Ratings for SIG SAUER Mag Catch Assy Kit, Ambi, 716
— 5 reviews — Page 1
Purchased this item for Sig Sauer 716 Patrol Rifle (AR-10 Platform, 7.62/.308). The items are OEM parts from Sig Sauer and fit perfectly. The parts kit contained the ambidextreous magazine catch assembly, magazine catch spring and magazine release button. I could not find elsewhere including Brownell's or MidwayUSA. Items where on back order and took a few weeks to receive. Well worth the wait and great price. Way-to-go Optics Planet!

The LPK of an Aero M5E1 (which is essentially a LR308 pattern AR) includes an AR15 type magazine release. It works but not ideal because the threaded stud is a bit short.
This Sig magazine catch is a direct replacement and has the long stud I was looking for.
The ambidextrous feature wasn't necessary for me but it works. I haven't tried to use my trigger finger on my off hand but I don't think it would be easy to drop a magazine that way. A lefty would probably do fine.
I had the catch only part on order which was less expensive but the order was canceled after a long wait. That's the only negative because I already have buttons and springs and should have gotten six catches instead of two kits.
Pros:
Long threaded stud
Cons:
I don't need the full kit, just the catch
Best Used for:
LR308 pattern ARs
Would recommend: Yes

Great purchase for left handed shooters. Got it for my Son, he loves it. Easy to put in and has all the parts. I had previously purchased another brand and another online seller for more (on sale) and it didn't have all the parts (didn't include spring or button). So, this was a great deal. Less expensive and all necessary parts. Works great for left handed Son. Would be great even if you aren't left handed because it's has a low profile. I see there's now a 10% off coupon for it. Don't hesitate to buy this ambi mag catch.
Pros:
GREAT PRICE
easy installation
Quality is great
All Parts Needed in the
Cons:
None
Would recommend: Yes

Quick and easy access to a factory part that you can't often find when living in California. The part is a Sig brand mag release for the 716. Its built alongside the same standards as the firearm its made for. Would highly recommend the part as well as opticplanets access to and shipment of not so easily findable parts.
Pros:
Part and the Process
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
Part is gun specific, but the website its perfect for any hard to find item.

The part installed simply and flawlessly. Even though this specific part is listed for the 716 and is listed as a separate part number for the M400, this part also works perfectly fine on the M400 lower receivers.
