AR-15 / AR .308 Extended Mag Catch Paddle Release (Anodized Royal Purple)

Description

Designed for rapid magazine replacement, this extended mag catch paddle release features an ergonomic, contoured profile that facilitates quick acquisition during operation. Constructed from T6 Aluminum, the component is finished in Anodized Royal Purple to provide visual identification while maintaining corrosion resistance. The lightweight design adds negligible mass to the lower receiver assembly, ensuring the balance of the rifle remains largely unaffected.

Installation is straightforward on standard lower receivers. The unit is compatible with both .308 Caliber and 5.56 Caliber platforms, fitting any forged or billet lower. This versatility allows builders to utilize the same aftermarket part across different caliber builds without needing separate inventory. The package includes all necessary mounting hardware, specifically two small black hex-head screws, and an L-shaped hex key for precise torque application during installation.

The total weight, including all hardware, is 0.10 Oz, contributing to a minimal footprint. Manufactured in the USA, this part meets the requirements for domestic sourcing in build kits. The extended paddle design offers increased leverage and surface area compared to standard catches, allowing for faster engagement with gloved hands or in low-light conditions. It serves as a direct replacement for the factory mag catch, upgrading the tactile feedback and speed of magazine changes for experienced builders who prioritize efficiency in their AR-15 configurations.
