LBE Unlimited ARMAGBUT AR-15 Magazine Release Button Black Steel

The LBE Unlimited ARMAGBUT Magazine Release Button transforms standard AR-15 controls with an enlarged surface area that speeds magazine changes under stress. This drop-in replacement component addresses the limited contact surface of mil-spec magazine releases that can slow tactical reloads.

What Makes This Different

The ARMAGBUT features a significantly larger button surface compared to standard GI magazine releases, providing 40% more contact area for positive engagement. The extended profile allows shooters to activate the release without shifting their firing grip, maintaining consistent hand placement during magazine changes. Unlike plastic aftermarket options, the steel construction withstands repeated use without deformation or wear.

Key Features

• Enlarged button surface for faster, more reliable magazine drops
• Black steel construction resists wear and impact damage
• Direct drop-in replacement for mil-spec AR-15 magazine releases
• Low-profile design prevents accidental activation during handling
• Textured surface provides positive grip even with wet or gloved hands
• Compatible with all standard AR-15 lower receivers and magazine types
• Maintains proper clearance with ambidextrous safety selectors

Field performance shows consistent activation across various shooting positions and environmental conditions. The steel construction maintains function through thousands of magazine changes without dimensional changes that affect timing. Competition shooters report faster split times during stage transitions, while tactical users appreciate the enhanced control during stress-fire exercises. The corrosion-resistant finish performs in humid and saltwater environments.
