I just put together my lower (my first AR), and noticed the magazine catch button can easily become canted and prevent me from pushing it down. Is it safe to fill the hole in the middle of it with some sort of epoxy? |
Push the button as deep into the receiver as you can and turn the catch itself on the opposite side of the receiver! Be careful to keep the button pushed in so you don't scratch your lower while you are spinning the mag catch! It's a 3 handed job, but quite easy otherwise... |

I just used my finger to push the button in, and then carefully rotated the catch on the other side, being careful not to scratch the lower. As others have mentioned, the end of the catch, should be almost flush with the face of the button (you should not be able to feel the catch poking out of the button). Good luck. Make sure you post pics when you are done.
