Bullet Button Tool

Or you can use a simple magnet and place it on the button. Let it stick out enough so you can press it and also remove it if you are out at a public range. This is the most cost effective replacement idea for the button. But remember if you are caught with it, ahh, expect a ticket and fine. Or you can use a bullet to push the release button. Just saying.

I used to use a spent 22LR case as my bullet button "tool". Never had a problem finding an abundance of tools on the range floor.

I've since installed the above mentioned FRS-15 stock on my Sport and replaced the bullet button with a standard mag release. The bullet button removal took all of a minute using a pair of thin needle nose pliers. S&W didn't appear to have used any Loctite on mine.

The range officer at my club just smiles and shakes his head when he sees my non-scary featureless MSR.

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.

Ha! You are not alone. I have no clue what that is. These "safety" devices are going to get somebody hurt.

I had never heard about a bullet button until today. I know you guys in California have some idiotic laws, but this is mind boggling. Do LEO's have the same restrictions??

A month ago I dropped off my form 4 at the local sheriffs office for a signature. He wasn't there, so I had to leave it. I got a call the next afternoon and the calling officer said it was ready, BUT, the sheriff wanted to talk to me before I picked it up. That didn't sound good. He was curious about the shop where I bought it and was interested in buying some NFA items from them. He didn't realize they had gotten a class 3 license. We then talked and had a really nice conversation about shooting. He then SUGGESTS that when I get it in a few months, I bring it by for him to see and maybe we could "shoot a few rounds together".

Free CLEO form 4 signature in 24 hours and the sheriff wants to play with your new toy. What a difference from California.

The bullet button is the primary reason why there are so many MSRs in CA. Prior to it the only MSRs sold had to have fixed (pinned or welded in) magazines, meaning that the rifle could only be loaded/cleared by opening it up.

The bullet button was an invention of necessity...and a not-so-subtle FU to the CA legislature, just like the FRS-15 stock.

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.

Actually tried the lighter method but it didn't work, so ended up cutting it haha

I picked up my MP 15 today and much to my surprise the magazine and Kit I ordered two days ago from Thordsen Custom arrived also. Speaking of customer service! The Magazine was a California Compliant 10 round with the "tool" built in. The kit had 4 "tool kits" with excellent instructions and the factory magazine is now modified.

Going to test some loads with H4198 (only powder I have) tomorrow and if they cycle I will load up a 100 and let the fun begin.

I use the AR Tool Ring. Its a ring with the tool on it. I got it at calegelmags for like 7 bucks with free shipping that was hella cool..

It's pretty cool once you figure out what finger. I use it on my off shooting hand on the index finger. it's actually pretty bad ***....

I bought a powerful magnet that is in a gizmo that fits over the "button" and just push it when I change a mag. Then, I stick it on my stock or scope or something when I don't use it. I think I paid a buck for it at a LGS.

Stupid law. But if one is found without the bullet button is going to have some charges pending against them.

Careful. Running into the wrong LEO could lead to problems.

People have also questioned the legality of having a standard mag release stored in a grip for outside of Cali. That could also lead to possible trouble like your mag magnet.
