The Brownells AR-15/M16 Oversized Magazine Release Button is an extended, drop-in replacement for factory part offering a wide, flat finger pad for fast, “can’t miss” magazine changes. Nearly three times the surface area of the factory button with crisp, 24 lpi checkering for positive, nonslip finger contact, so you release the mag on the very first try. It stands .225″ higher to give you extra leverage that ensures the mag catch disengages completely.
Precision machined from 4140 steel and heat treated for added hardness and wear resistance, with a tough, black oxide finish. It fits any AR-15/M16/CAR-15/M4 with a USGI-spec magazine release. May require minor fitting.
Perfect for competition, tactical operations, and self-defense—any high-stress situation where the speed of a magazine change makes the difference between success and failure. Whether you’re upgrading a duty rifle or performance platform, this oversized button delivers the control and speed serious shooters demand.
