AU Enhanced Ambidextrous AR15/M4 Magazine Release

Great addition. I like this design a lot better than the other style AU sells. Easy to release mags and doesn't interfere with a standard bolt catch.

Awesome product and super easy to install

I really enjoyed installing these Ambi Mag Releases in my AR-10 or LR-308 DPMS Gen1 Style rifle. It's a great update for the buttons on my rifles it's easy to setup and helps with releasing the mag in a pinch the larger surface with a texture allows me to be confident when keeping my eyes down range and knowing that it can be found without looking down, for a small standard mag button or going to the other side. There are several makers to choose from but this one is my choice and being at the sale price it's the one I'm going with, I even put them on all my LR-308 rifles.

i love it

This is my second time reviewing this item as I think it’s good for others to know how it works after the minimal use I had at the time of previous review. First is I gave this time these five stars instead of four like last time since the sale price of $30 per(28.50 per for me since I bought four more)I feel is a fair price. Now to the new, only down fall I see about this mag catch is it does protrude quite a bit on the left side mainly since most all if not all lowers are built minus the extra metal like on the right side of the lower has around the standard mil spec button which is done so the mag release button can’t be accidentally pressed which the left side of the lower does not have so potential unintended mag drops could happen especially if you run any type of sling. With that said I’ve not had any issues regarding accidental mag release button hits. Also same thing in regards to transit as now I cannot leave the mag in the gun when put away/in transit in my carry cases or potentially the mag will come loose and potentially damage the gun. But those two things are the only down falls that really aren’t a big deal and everything else is all great about it. Just make sure you apply BEFORE install preferably some good lube(can’t remember name/type but the thick white type… think it’s lithium grease)to just the little tab that hits the lower when the buttons pressed so the button is smooth or it’s pretty gritty feeling but even then fully functional(just a tip). If you’ve found this page, consider yourself lucky and buy as many as you have AR’s since I can guarantee like me you’ll be back till you put one in all your AR’s just like I’m doing as I can afford. Just hoping AU will make us the .308 version of this same mag catch so we all can get the same great ambidextrous mag release for our bigger platform AR’s(hint hint AU;). Best ambidextrous mag catch I’ve seen or came across in well over a decade of looking. Thanks AU!

I'M RELLY LOVE THIS ITEM THANK YOU VERY MUCH

PRETTY GOOD I LIKE IT A LOT

Large and easy to use - ideal for the wronghanded. This could introduce a slight liabilty as it sticks out further than some bolt releases, but I have been using for 6 months and have not had an accidental mag release. From a design and function it's top notch.

For the past ten years or so I’ve come across so many ambidextrous mag catches and with all of them I could see the issues with the designs like it’d take an extreme amount of pressure to just push the button, cause damage to the lower, or just wouldn’t work reliably, so I never spent a dollar buying any. But with this ambidextrous mag catch the design is just plain smart compared to all the rest. For sure needs lubed for a smoother press of the button, but when lubed works well. I was very concerned with it taking a lot to press the button and if the mag would drop free. I installed it and was just as easy as any mag catch to install, plus it takes very little to press the button which is great for all us righties since we don’t have as strong of a hand as our strong/right hand. Also the mag drops free no problem. The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is only due to cost which is kind of a lot for just a mag catch, but in the end honestly it is worth the money, just hard for people like me that are on a tight budget regularly. I suggest buy two to get the discount as I did for my mom’s pistol and rifle. If your considering it, I can bet you won’t find a better ambidextrous mag catch at any price so just buy and enjoy since I’ll bet you won’t be returning it. Side note… doesn’t want to with Magpul’s ambidextrous bolt catch lever since the mag catches button gets in the way of the lever.
