impressed with the XTS Ambidextrous Extended Magazine Release (purchased 09/25/2025). The quality of the machining is exceptionally clean, precise attention to detail. What sets this component apart is the color: the finish is a dead match for my lower receiver, which is a notoriously difficult feat to achieve across manufacturers - got lucky! Functionally, the ambidextrous design is crisp and intuitive, making reloads seamless. To top it off, shipping came in a full day earlier than estimated. This is an excellent, high-quality upgrade that enhances both the look and the performance of the rifle

The ppl bi+ching about no instructions, really???? It’s not that difficult. Plus you ever hear of Google? Anyway, right now it doesn’t fit well on the left hand side to the point the ambidextrous release doesn’t even function. I’m going to have to file/sand it down to get it to work. Additionally, as one commenter stated, it is not OD green. More like metallic lime. Lastly, the wrench barely had teeth/grooves & what it did have stripped after one use. Eventually, I’ll just replace it with a better made part from somebody else. I just took a chance on this inexpensive one. Not worth it. Save your time & money & just get a better one.
Cons:
- poor fit
- Inaccurate color
- Bad wrench and screws
Would recommend: No

I did not have to take the thing apart to install it as some others said, i just used a punch to help push it in far enough as i screwed it down, it is best to remove the bolt catch if you have a extended one though. the button dose wiggle a little but that isn't a issue for me, it seems good. seems to work as well as a standard magazine release. would be nice if they gave instructions so people didn't mess it up by taking it apart like in some other reviews here. the only part i had to remove to install was the paddle on the button.
Pros:
- good color
- Functional ambidextrious controls
Cons:
- No instruction
- button wiggles

Bought the purple one for a build for my wife. Once installed it wouldn't eject proper, the root cause being it was getting stuck and not releasing, the part flexes just right at the pivot that it refused to budge. Installed the purple button with the mil spec back part and it works fine, but not what I wanted.
Cons:
- Doesn't work well in a Ruger AR5.56
Would recommend: No

I was worried when I read some of the reviews about how people were worried about how sensitive these mag releases were but I tried bumping them on gear and myself to get the mag to drop out and had no issues.

I didn't know what too expect from the price (low).It is well made, fits very good, works very well. It is very sensitive to adjustment's. As it should be. Mike.

Part is actually decent. Works great. It is listed as OD Green which was my reason for buying it. It is actually anodized Sprite green and looks cartoonishly stupid. Another part in the junk pile!

The allen wrench that was included stripped out the screw that secures the paddle on the button side. I eventually had to remove my bolt release to be able to tighten it. Its hard to install but not impossible. And now it looks and works good. But if youre not good at working with the small parts you might have alot of trouble.
Best Used for:
- ambidextrous magazine release

This part fits really loose, i tried putting this in a couple different lowers to see if would fit differently and all had the same issue. Seemed quite out of spec. Ended up replacing it because it was so bad.
