I always couldn’t see spending $20-50 for something that just let me switch mags a little easier and quicker. After all, I didn’t shoot a 10/22 every day, maybe not even every month. But I started to think about it and began to look locally. Cabelas had a Tac Sol release for $44. Too much. Academy had a CrossFire ambidextrous release that said $19.99 on the shelf, which was better, but it was even nicer when it rang up for $14.98.
So, yesterday, I switched it out for the original on a 10/22 make of mine that has a Tac Solutions threaded bull barrel in a folding stock. Took 5 minutes; remove the action screw, remove the pin holding the release, switch the release, replace pin and retorque screw. And it was worth every penny, ambidextrous so my left-handedness works and the mag almost throws itself out now.
I probably still won’t put one on my target stocked version or on the stock Walmart 10/22 stainless rifle. Maybe it would be sweet on a takedown though. Anyway, I can vouch for the CrossFire model—sweetest $15 I’ve spent this week!
How many of you have switched out your mag release.
