The Tactical Solutions X-Ring Extended Magazine Release transforms the standard Ruger 10/22 magazine release into a precision competition-grade component. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a black gloss anodized finish, this upgrade eliminates the fumbling associated with factory magazine changes during rapid-fire sequences.
What Makes This Different
The extended paddle design provides 40% more surface area than the factory release, allowing shooters to execute magazine changes without breaking their firing grip. Unlike polymer alternatives that can crack under stress, the 6061-T6 aluminum construction maintains dimensional stability through thousands of actuations. The black gloss anodized finish resists corrosion while providing a professional appearance that matches tactical accessories.
