SPECS: Stainless Steel, matte finish, or steel, blued. Fits Ruger® 10/22® only.

it does what is supposed to do.
It replaces the original part, a gimmick so hard to find and operate you think someone did it on purpose. A much needed correction.

Quality upgrade
The bolt release on the stock 10/22 is horrible. This is a great quality of life upgrade and well worth the money. Parts fit and finish was great and an easy install.

Must have upgrade
This and a polymer recoil buffer are the first things I do to a 10/22. I wish they were factory, but they are so inexpensive and excellent that it's about a 5 minute job to do with the correct punch and a gun vise.

Easy install
Once I reviewed Brownells, how to video, And then I looked my internals over and did everything according to the order that they did it and then put it back together again and everything's working perfectly!

Definitely improved the release function in my receiver. Had to research for a YouTube video on how to install it since it came with no directions, but easy enough to install.
