Finished my 'custom' AK mag release!

Venom1956 · January 20, 2013, 01:46 PM

Well after day of tinkering with it I am proud to report that I am happy with my new AK release!

Took some searching but it is all steel (Did try alum... I bent it

)

Here are a few pics. See what u think? This is prior to the final tweaks.

Leftside So my thumb can reach it better

Rightside No extension.

I am playing around with the idea to make an ambi one.

Looks good. How far does it stick out from the side of the rifle?

Venom1956 · January 20, 2013, 03:44 PM

1/2"

Looks good. I'm interested in the new parabellum armament mag release---looks like a slick little set up...

It kinda reminds of hammer extension for contenders and such. It looks very effective though.

looks nice, I would have flipped it around in hopes to maybe be able to use my trigger finger on it. Either way it should help matters.

This is the mag release I really liked. but its out of production. So i kinda went to this design.

HAHA! busted! that is where i got the idea and what this release started out life as! after some hand tool work and some modification it works great. That is why custom is used loosely since I didn't actually fabricate it out of steel.

You totally could. Its reversible and the section that attaches to the gun is coated in rubber for positive traction. debating if I should checker it also...

I grip the mag and use my thumb so I decided on the left side.

So it really is a hammer extension? Might have to "borrow" your idea lol.

Venom1956 · January 21, 2013, 09:51 PM

Totally fine by me! I didn't really build it so I can't really sell it can I?

If you want I can send you the details in a PM.
