Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine release fit my mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver?
Yes. The San Tan Tactical Ultra Grip Extended Magazine Release is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for the standard mil-spec AR-15 magazine release button. It installs using the existing magazine catch assembly and requires no permanent modification to your lower receiver. If your lower is mil-spec, this upgrade will fit without any fitting or machining.
Is the extended height profile a snag or safety concern?
San Tan Tactical specifically engineered the Ultra Grip's increased height profile to reduce, not increase, the risk of accidental magazine drops. The aggressive grip texture is designed to require deliberate pressure to actuate, so while it's easier to find and press intentionally, it resists unintended activation from gear contact better than a smooth, flush button would.
Does this work with AR-10 or .308 platforms as well as AR-15?
This particular model is designed for the AR-15 platform and its mil-spec lower receiver dimensions. AR-10 and .308 pattern lowers use different magazine catch dimensions and are generally not compatible. San Tan Tactical does offer components for larger platforms, so if you're building on an AR-10, check for a model specifically listed for your receiver pattern before purchasing.
