isn't that a selling point for most semi autos is a drop free mag?

one thing you may think about is that the weight of actually having ammo in the mag could actually place pressure against the mag release, actually allowing it to hold better?

it is also possible that you just happened to pick up a defective rifle? I've handled several and never found any to have a particularly light mag release. yes the mag is plastic but so are the billions of 10/22 magazines and the RAR mags are essentially made from the same plastic as poly pistol frames so I really don't get where all the animosity comes from about the RAR plastic mags.
