Have-to-have trigger group upgrade!
I am putting together a new M14 rifle and the 1st part I knew I had to have (after doing the same to my 1st M1A rifle) was the Sadlak Tactical mag release! It makes a HUGE difference getting the empty mag out in order to get a fresh mag in. I think many others believe this also because it's rather difficult to find it in stock at many other vendors. Thanks, Brownells, for always being a reliable source of gun parts (with decent prices as well)! R. H.

Good part. Worth it
Great addition. Easier to find in a rush, or when wearing gloves.

Well worth it
Sadlak makes very good products for the M14 and this is yet another example of exactly that. Installation is very easy and clear to follow with the instructions provided; they even supply a taper punch to use. The only tools you will need is a piece of wood to work on and a brass hammer. Installation will take about 5-10 minutes, very easy and fast. Magazine manipulation is drastically different from the stock part. Insertion and extraction is much easier especially if using gloves.

Mag changes made easy
Easy to install, directions were crystal clear. Width of the plate is about a hair smaller than the actual magazine, so no catching on your clothing. The only downside is that more force is required to seat a magazine if it's loaded than the stock part, but practice will compensate for that.

GREAT ADDITION TO MY RIFLE
I just finished installing this on my rifle along with the Smith Enterprise Bolt Stop. This piece was fairly easy to install and works great. A big improvement over the factory part.

Great fit on Springfield bush rifle
A must have for anyone wiht M1A/M14 rifle. Fairly easy to install (except for the heavy duty spring) and makes mag change a snap. Cost is somewhat high for such a small metal piece but worth it.

good add on part
This part is a must for anyone who comes to my shop and wants to upgrade thier m1a's in any way, ebr,tactical config, etc,. The quality is excellent, fit and finish are perfect. The product makes mag changes much faster and gives the operator of the weapon a positive feel on mag changes.
