Bullet Button Mag Release replacement

broknaxl said:
I just picked up a S&W Sporter and it has the Bullet Button Mag Release. I was wondering if this can be replaced with the regular release. Thanks in advance for your replies. I don't live in a State that requires it.

It can be replaced with a standard mag release. I live in CA, but travel back home to Detroit from time to time and bring my firearms with me so I can go shooting with my friends.

I contacted S&W to ask them if they sold the standard mag release kit. To my surprise they sent me a standard mag release button, spring and catch lever for FREE! Now that's what I call customer service!

Now removing the bullet button is a whole other ordeal, which I'm not looking forward to. Hopefully after I apply heat to it with a soldering iron to loosen up the Loktite, I'll be able to just push in the bullet button and back out the catch lever. We shall see!

I have an M&P15 Sport and I love it!

Actually I think mine is set up for Mass. or I think NJ. My adjustable stock functions. In CA I believe the adjustable stock is pinned extended. Another weird CA thing.But believe me Illinois isn't much better.

I live in CA and own a CA compliant M&P15 Sport. It has an adjustable 6 position butt-stock, flash hider and pistol grip. The only difference between my rifle and a non-CA compliant M&P15 Sport or any other AR is, mine has a bullet button and can only have 10 round mags. This is what I use for quicker mag changes (Some will argue that use of this tool in CA constitutes a felony. As far as I'm concerned, as long as my hand never leaves to tool and the tool does not stay attached to my rifle after depressing the mag release, it is perfectly legal. Although, I am not a lawyer.).:

Nope, my CommieFornia compliant sport stock is the standard adjustable that comes with it.

Do you realize that you bumped a 3 yr old thread? I'm guessing that if the OP hadn't figured out how to replace the bullet button with a standard release by now, he has probably given up on the project. :D
