I just received and installed a couple of them, and have been taking a look at how they are functioning.
I have a small recommendation that the button that threads on the shaft of the release would be better if it were a little longer. The reason for my opinion is that when pressing on the extended release the force is no longer in-line with the threaded shaft, and it counter levers causing the tab that holds the mag in the well to actually protrude further into the magwell first before it is pushed out of the slot in the magazine. Because of this I have had to loosen the catch another turn which means the button is only one turn away from not being in the receiver at rest. On the underside of the extended piece that goes on the button there is extra material, and if I tighten it anymore the extra material contacts the receiver and stops the release from clearing the slot in the magazine. I believe that a longer button will minimize the counter-lever by having more button in the receiver, and will also allow me to thread it on more without the material on the extended part getting stopped by the receiver. Using the extended lever does not allow the release to move as much as pressing over the button does. Just a thought. Otherwise, I think it is a very great part idea, but I think it could be a little better. Please take no offense, I do not mean any. You guys make a lot of awesome stuff, and all of my rifles have a BAD selector. If there is any way I could get a longer button I would appreciate it. I just bought 2 of them, and the same thing is happening with both of them. Thanks! |

| The best way is to grind down the magazine catch pin. Making the button longer will cause the button to stick out above the magazine button fence. We are working on a shorter magazine catch pin down the road. |

Hope you come out with a ambi option like a Norgon to go with the new pin size spec for your extended mag releases. Because I've been contemplating using your mag release and a Norgon and I would prefer to not grind on the Norgon pin. |

The BAD release with the extension on is the same length as a normal button, but the BAD extension has a thick underside at the tab where your finger would depress it.. That thickness in combination with the lever effect stops the button from being able to depress the button more. The mag still drops, but in a delayed kind of way. Cutting the threaded shaft of the release will do nothing for what I am describing. I suck at internet and do not have a youtube account to show a video of what I'm talking about. The magazine button fence is a remnant of the original design of the gun, but I don't think anyone is very concerned about an extended release that is higher than the fence. |
