Bullet Button Tool

Jboutfishn · Jun 4, 2013

Since I must deal with the bullet button here in the great state of California (not), I am looking for some input at to the best "tool" to use in taking out the magazine. I did an on line search, and there are many options.

All input is appreciated. Thanks

The CA Supreme Court has ruled that a bullet is a tool, one suitable for using to activate the bullet button. Just be certain not to have a bullet, or inert bullet attached to the weapon in any fashion (think, drilling a hole in a spent case, sizing and seating a bullet to make a dummy round, then tying to a lanyard...that would be bad). Just leave a loose round on the bench or in your pocket and you should be fine. Also, if at a range, do not leave the weapon laying on the bench without a mag in it. Always park it with an empty mag and transport with an empty 10 round mag locked in.

I have a 223 round keychain on a retractable lanyard that I clip to my top pocket that works well. I also have a magnetic button that works great, just don't get caught leaving it attached or stuck to the magazine I believe that is still a no no.

If you look at the FRS stock, you can supposedly do away with the bullet button all together.

Yup, no pistol grip, stock not adjustable, thinking you got it right.

Has anyone had any experience with the modified magazine with a small protrusion to push the button? You will need two magazines, not a issue for me.......

Bullet Button Tools

Thordsen Customs from the Bay Area (Ca) sell the Mags with the Button attached or you can buy the Buttons and do it yourself four buttons for $6.00. I have them on all steel, Alum, and Pmags, I also like the yellow flags that shows our Range Master the chamber is clear he likes them too, they can be used as a bullet button and to adjust most optics windage and elevation screws.

For Highpower matches I just use a 30-06 dummy round I made up with a FMJ, for fun at the range I have a bunch of magazines with the UBT, ultimate bullet button tool

It seems that 'bullet buttons' may soon be history. SB-47 prohibits so-called bullet buttons.

I must have been living under a rock. I have never heard of a "bullet button". I had to look it up.

That's so silly, I had to see it to believe it. The PRoC* never ceases to amaze me.

You can always do what I'm doing: looking for real estate in Nevada.

I watched the television interview where the California Attorney General said she would like to think that people do not manufacture products and that people do not purchase products (admittedly legal products) to get around "the intent of the law," which is to stop fast reloading (not to ban detachable magazines).

Well that is about like saying that she would like to think that a taxpayer would not take advantage of an admittedly legal deduction to get around the intent of tax laws, which are to raise money.

The attorney general said that the existence of "bullet buttons" is "scary." I would like to take this woman seriously, but that would be an insult to her intelligence.

A buddy of mine has a shooting glove with a protrusion on the middle finger that acts to release the magazine. Stupid **** they require, supposedly to make people more safe??? What a load.......

If you're looking to remove the bullet button itself and replacing it with another, you'll have to either use a bullet button wrench or saw off the bullet button assembly itself as they are using loc-tite.

Actually, pressing a soldering iron onto the stud in there for about 10 seconds will get it hot enough to soften the locktite.
So will turning the rifle on its' side and hitting it with a lighter for about 5-10 seconds.

I use the "Ultimate Bullet Button Tool".

I like it, it is handy...
