This simple bolt-on lever extends the bolt release (ping-pong paddle) to allow one-finger operation of the battery entirely from the right side of your mil-spec AR rifle. Drop the empty mag and return the bolt to battery using one finger. You’re mag hand goes straight back to firing position without taking a 1 second detour to the bolt release. It’s a trick little setup that saves precious time during reloads, but there’s going to be a retraining penalty to realign your muscle memory. My guess is that the beards will say it’s just one more thing that can fail while the chrono crowd is going to be stoked.
MAGPUL made sure to retain the original paddle surface in order to allow traditional operation with the left hand. The lever is made from mil-spec finished aircraft aluminum and installation looks like a dead-easy one screw operation. MAGPUL even includes a Torx wrench to get your going for your $30. Check MAGPUL for more info and availablity.
