Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine release fit my AR-15 lower receiver?
Yes. The San Tan Tactical Ultra Grip Extended Magazine Release is designed to fit standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers. It replaces the factory magazine release button with a drop-in installation that requires no permanent modification, machining, or specialized tools — making it a straightforward upgrade for most AR-15 builds.
Does the extended height increase the risk of accidentally dropping a magazine?
Not at all — in fact, it's the opposite. The increased height is paired with San Tan Tactical's Ultra Grip texture, which requires deliberate, intentional pressure to actuate. This design significantly reduces the chance of accidental mag drops caused by incidental contact with gear, holsters, or barricades during dynamic shooting scenarios.
Is this compatible with AR-10 or .308 lower receivers?
This specific model is designed for AR-15 (5.56/.223) mil-spec lower receivers. AR-10 and .308-platform lowers use a larger magazine release assembly and are generally not compatible with AR-15 components. San Tan Tactical offers platform-specific parts, so be sure to verify compatibility with your exact lower before purchasing.
