Excellent choice
Its a very well made piece. Typical install, very ergonomic design. Added a good look and practicality to my build
needed for many LR-308s
i tried a standard mag release that came with a DPMS 308 LPK and the button wasnt long enough to work with my DPMS-style 308 lower receiver. THIS extended mag button made my weapon functional and is most likely required for the proper mag release function of a multitude various manufactured 308 lowers. the same button used on a little AR15 wont have the same geometry when it comes to a 308 lower being much wider & more massive, overall. if you havent figured that out by now, then nothing else needs to be said. ive never seen a 308AR until i cut and finished a 80% 308 and had it all figured out fast as i could spot the deficiencies. anyways, this part was needed to complete my 308 lower receiver as the standard mag release button included with most part kits wasnt long enough to initiate proper function and it didnt take NASA research to figure out the repair & replacement.
The best upgrade you dont need!
Yes, I consider this an upgrade. Let me explain why you will too. The button sits a millimeter or two higher than standard mil-spec part. Although I did find this awkward at first, I have grown accustomed to this and now prefer it. It raises the buttons surface, providing more leverage and spring tension. I have faster reloads because of this. Transitioning back to mil-spec button feels squashy, and the lower engagement require just a little more effort to use, and usually has me depressing the button much more than required. I am now ordering one for all of my weapons. Ascetically, this is beautiful. It will make any AR look and feel more premium. The smooth surface works well with gloves and doesn't pull on glove finger tips, my pet peeve. The finish has remained entirely intact with no chips after several months of adverse conditions and multiple painting/stripping processes. You can scrape together 5 bucks from the change in your couch! this is a no brainer!
Great for LR-308
This button is a little taller than the one that came with the dpms LPK. Works perfectly with gen1 DPMS lowers also put one on a CMMG lower. Exactly what was needed.
High quality, different, and subtle.
It looks much nicer than stock, feels better, yet looks like it could be factory standard. I like the super high quality. It's a very nice and affordable custom upgrade that doesn't look gawdy or screaming for attention.
Feels natural
I was on the hunt for "different" mag release button. I came across this one and the price was right. After installing it and trying it out I was happy with how natural the button felt. Also, because of the shape of the button the mag release was a little easier to find, even for a seasoned shooter as myself. I am actually buying two more for some other builds.
Perfect!
Perfect! I will use it on another project
BAD Enhanced Mag Release Button
I bought two of these BAD enhanced mag release buttons, one for my DPMS Sweet 16 and the other for my Sharps 25-45 build. In both cases I replaced an ArmaSpec button. I really like the "U" shape of the BAD button, and the deep grooves. The combination makes for a very ergonomic feel. The only thing that kept me from giving them a 5-star rating is that the finish is glossier than the receiver and other controls. It looks more like paint than black anodized.
Don't waste your money
Stripped out immediately. Now my magazine catch is stuck, unable to be removed. I expected better from B.A.D.
