Which device is considered "the best" to comply with the fixed magazine laws, yet still use an AR style rifle for NRA competitions (mandatory reload during rapid fire strings)?  I have Bullet Button on one rifle but have never used it in NRA-style competition.  Is Bullet Button the way to go or is Raddlock considered a better option?

I'm a fan of bullet button since I can screw the wonder wrench on when I go out to AZ.

There's also the "mag magnet" that just fits over the bullet button as well, just make sure you don't leave it on the gun whe you're at the range


ETA:

Mag-magnet

So, is it common practice for competitors to use the Bullet Button such that no special procedural accommodation is required.

With the lock I have, the magazine cannot be removed.  It seems I should replace this with a Bullet Button.

Fixed it for you.

To OP: The Bullet Button is widely regarded as the best option, both from a practical and availability standpoint. Just remember to only use 10rd or less capacity magazines.

I have a Raddlock on one of my AR's. I feel its not worth the money and could possible get me\you in trouble

I don't like the Radlocks - I bought three and they're all loose and wobble in my rifles too much to make me happy.

I have a couple bullet buttons and several mag-locks and like them.

becareful with the raddlocks, there are fake ones out there, which are lower quality than the real ones.

So, let's wrap this up.  Bullet Button is the best option.

I was scrounging around in my spare parts bin and found a brand new Bullet Button.  I took the other one off (I think it's a Prince 50) and installed the Bullet Button.  Now both rifles have the same magazine locking system (commonality is always good).

I am ready for the match.

+1. Even says so on their own site: "This tool is used for out of state use..."

Shoot five, reload and shoot five more.  The Bullet Button worked exactly as advertised.  I used an Allen wrench as my tool to change out the magazines.  I would not attribute any more than a second or two of time lost to the Bullet Button.

Use a bullet button. Install a rivet near the bottom of your mags, with the nub sticking out. To reload, use the full mag to depress the BB letting the empty fall away.
