Does anyone have one of Redstar's extended maga releases.. If so please give your opinion on it. It looks like a good design,,, Is a lighter spring required? |

Stokes I think you will find greatly varying opinion on the matter. Some people don't like the extra length of the extended levers. Anything that is longer than normal can be blamed for snagging stuff. I developed it mainly for 3-gun so the AK could get closer to the mag change speed of the AR15. It really does speed up your mag changes when used as intended. My design is even "snaggier" than the one they sell because it has the longer tab projecting downward.   Early prototype shown below.  Full direction, plans and drawings on how to make and install your own MAGWING (snag-wing) at this link, www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=4291667841 |

Postban, Thanks Bro.. I remember now when you said you were going to make some. It has been a long time ago. I remember you and packrat talking about it on the board. I like the idea of a quicker mag release.. One question is the extended lower tang needed for structural strength or can it be cut out and just the wings used? I'm just guessing that the snag that everyone refers to is the extended lower tang. Another question did you try a prototype taking the wing back all the way on one side so the thumb could be use to release instead of the finger? |
