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.

Well, I know you can switch from a regular mag release to a "bullet button" so the reverse should be true too.

MPDC, Thanks I figured it would be, but before I bought a replacement I wanted to be sure that it could be removed. Thanks again.

When I get my compliant, I'm probably ordering and installing different type of lock that can be switched back n' forth from lock to free-release. Makes it easier if I end up moving to AZ or just visiting out of state.
Do you know where I can find these?? Thanks that sounds like good set-up.
you know i could be wrong but these bullet buttons are on there for a reason. if your state doesnt require them then i dont think your dealer would sell them. you better double check to make sure that your state does not require them or you guys could be committing a major felony by removing these bullet buttons. there are other options like the magnet mag release buttons and another one that screws in some how so you can put it on and remove it at will.
dont mean to be a killjoy but im just putting in my .02

My state doesn't require it. I bought this off an individual, not a dealer. It's kinda of my fault, I didn't check it out. I figured it was new in the box and that they were all the same. This is probably why the price was so cheap. I have checked and there is no problem legally. I live in Illinois.

Not meant to insult you personally but the rule is pretty rediculous, don't you agree? Ten round mags, fixed mags and stocks, draconian laws for carry permits and on and on.
Not exactly Second Amendment friendly, IMHO.

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.
Nah, your probably thinking of NY. Adjustable stocks are a-ok. If you have "evil" features(adjustable stock, pistol grip, vertical grip, flash supressor and grenade launcher thing/I think bayonet) it has to have a bullet button to keep the magazine from dropping freely. Some peeps will make theirs "featureless" then they can use the mag. drop freely and even use legally obtained normal capacity magazines.
Oops, missed this. A good shop down here in CA sells them for $35 before shipping. Comes in a few diff. colors for your enjoyment

i didnt take it personal, no harm no foul, and its not just your opinion its all of our opinions that its ridiculous.
