The Timber Creek Outdoors AREMRFDE AR Extended Magazine Release transforms standard magazine changes from awkward finger stretches into smooth, instinctive motions. This precision-machined aluminum component extends the release button's surface area by 40% while maintaining the factory trigger guard clearance. Shooters with smaller hands or those wearing gloves gain immediate access advantages during rapid reloads.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer aftermarket releases that flex under pressure, this solid aluminum construction withstands repeated heavy use without deformation. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to anodizing, maintaining its appearance through thousands of cycles. The extended paddle design requires 15% less finger pressure to activate while reducing the reach distance by approximately 3mm from standard mil-spec releases.
Key Features
- 40% larger activation surface for faster magazine changes
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish
- Direct replacement for mil-spec AR-15/AR-10 magazine releases

Competitive shooters report measurable improvements in reload times, particularly during multi-gun competitions where every second counts. The extended surface proves especially valuable in tactical scenarios where fine motor skills deteriorate under stress. Law enforcement agencies have adopted similar designs for duty rifles where reliable function with duty gloves remains critical. The Cerakote finish maintains its appearance through extreme temperature variations and chemical exposure.
