Go with the Norgon instead.

I have 4 Norgon models. Exceptional. Work flawlessly. But I bought 3 of these because of the low price. I intended to replace the standard LPK catch drops on several custom builds--sadly, none properly fit to provide the desired function in the three different Mil Spec lowers from "high end" AR Lower Manufacturers. The telltale is that they are short in length filling the Mag Rel cutout by about 2 mm. If you look closely, you will see gaps after fitting at both ends as well as increased play in the cam's alignment . This particular device's short width, combined with a :thinner" threaded cam allows the entire lever to "cant" in the slot vice pivot whereby it spoils the device's hinging function to provide the intended functionality. This product needs more precision within the manufacturing processes, in my opinion. The end result is a mag hang-up during the release. Retrospectively, I'd spend the extra $70 to get the Norgon model.... I'm sending all these back. 2 stars only because they look like a Norgon. Sadly they don't work like them.
