Mike's Review of XTS Ambidextrous AR-15 Extended Magazine Release
I bought 2 of these on a whim (to qualify for free shipping) and boy, what a terrible mistake!
First, zero instructions. No problem, mag release is easy…
Second, you have to remove the extended button cover to install the release itself. Once the release is in, you can put the extended cover on…but for the love of all that is holy TEST THE RELEASE BEFORE YOU DO!
Third, if you screw the mag release in one spin too far, your mag release is nearly non-functioning and your mag will not drop when you depress it.
Forth, this thing rattles. Not like “a bit” - I’m talking “doing the freaking Hustle in chain mail” type rattle. Ok, crummy product - whatever, I’ll return it. Oh wait…
Fifth, of course the low quality Allen screw has stripped completely and I can’t even get it out. I’m going to have to drill and tap the darn thing just to remove it.
At least I can return the other one, but the only place it really belongs is the trash.
