The Timber Creek Outdoors AREMRT AR Extended Mag Release transforms magazine changes from a standard finger stretch into a natural thumb motion. This precision-machined component addresses the AR-15's factory magazine release limitations with an extended paddle design that accommodates tactical gloves and reduces reload times.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard magazine releases that require precise finger placement, this extended design provides 40% more surface area for reliable activation. The tungsten finish delivers superior hardness and corrosion resistance compared to standard anodizing, while the 6061-T6 aluminum construction maintains the lightweight profile essential for competition and duty use. CNC machining ensures consistent tolerances that eliminate the play and wobble common in cast alternatives.
Key Features
- Extended paddle design increases activation surface by 40% over mil-spec releases
- Tungsten finish provides exceptional wear resistance and corrosion protection
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction maintains strength while adding minimal weight
- CNC-machined tolerances ensure precise fit in mil-spec and commercial receivers
- Ambidextrous-friendly design accommodates left-handed shooters
- Textured activation surface maintains grip with wet or gloved hands
- Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or permanent modifications
Competitive shooters benefit from faster reload times during stage transitions, while law enforcement and military users appreciate the reliable function with heavy gloves or in adverse conditions. The extended paddle reduces hand repositioning during magazine changes, maintaining consistent grip and sight alignment. The tungsten finish resists wear from repeated use and environmental exposure that degrades standard finishes.
