Broke on Second Use
I installed the part on my Windham SRC-308 as instructed, with little or no difficulty. Took the rifle to the range and when I attempted to drop the second empty mag, the lever broke cleanly just below the word TROY. While not a weapon disabling failure (the normal operation is still workable), for the money involved, I think there should be a bit more durability. I bought this item because the KAC version was on backorder. I'm really sorry that I didn't wait.

Billet receivers
Be careful when using some billet receivers. My North Tech Defense would not accept this part. Broke during installation, while I was trying to seat it. Only then did I see it would not work. I'm sure it's a great product as others from Troy I've bought. Just be aware.
