Load Assist Buttons

I just installed 2 sets of Raven Eye & I too experienced them being too tight. Working them up & down a few times helps some but they are still noticeably hanging up about half way down. Not sure if this will cause feed issues or not. As they hang up, the buttons start spinning as opposed to simply sliding down.

If I take a S&W 25 round magazine & push on their buttons, there is a very noticeable amount of play back & forth. With the Raven Eye buttons, it is noticeably tighter.

I installed 2 yesterday but first compared them to the oem LAB and noticed that the gaps of the oem were wider but not by much. I think that as the REC LABs are used, the plastic will eventually wear down to the point where the button will slide easily.
 
I haven't had any issues with the ones I installed on my converted mags?

They cycle just like the factory LAB's.

I just ordered a couple more mags, so I need to order a few more of the LAB's that are listed in the link.

I'll keep an eye on the new ones after I mod the incoming mags and install the LAB's. If I have any issues, I'll be sure to post up about them.

My latest addition of 10 round longs arrived from Midway a few days ago. I removed the limiting pins in them in preparation for when my LAB's.

Well they arrived in the mail this morning. I was able to install them in just a few seconds, reassembled the mags, and began cycling them.

No issues of any kind?

Not sure if perhaps thomaswgoodwin received a defective LAB, or maybe there was some debris in mag?

Hard to say, but I have had great results with these LABs. Great fit, well made, and perfect functionality.

Not bad for under $3.00.
