AR-15/M16 AMBIDEXTROUS MAGAZINE RELEASE ASSEMBLY Reviews & Ratings

Knight's ambidextrous mag release offers a large, easy-to-find off-side release lever that helps you drop the mag reliably and consistently from an unorthodox hand position. The long, wide off-side lever has clean, deep serrations on the control pad, plus the correct angle to provide the right leverage to easily drop the mag - but only when you want to. Easy, drop-in installation on any standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver, and requires zero permanent modifications to your rifle. Any time you need to switch back to the original factory button, the KAC unit can be swapped out almost instantly.

Works with one glitch

I bought this because I shoot left handed. I already have a ambi safety so this was all I was lacking to make it left handed friendly. I found out right away that it is not compatible with KNS anti rotation trigger pins. The new left side mag release button hits the anti rotation pin retainer. I wanted the mag release more than the trigger pins. And to be honest, I only installed the trigger pins because of the hype for them online. I never had any issues with the original ones. So I simply reinstalled the original trigger pins. Install was pretty easy. I don't really care a lot for the looks of the round button on the right side of the gun, but it was way easier to install than the original mag release. The new left side button is easy to reach and operate, although it is just a tad stiffer to operate then if your shooting right handed, but nothing that is a deal breaker. All in all I am pretty happy with.

overall good

product seems fine but wanted to post some compatibility issues. If you have a Seekins Precision lower with their ambi-bold catch, the included magazine release button won't work. Should be fine with a normal magazine release button though and that's my plan. Also, can't use it at all with a Magpul BAD lever
