 My trigger finger is too short to reach the magazine release

without regrip the gun and not quick enough on the reloads. Does anyone know how to modify the AR release button to make it longer or tear drop shape to make it reach back to my finger? Thanks. Does the Magpul BAD release work on the 556?

I have an extended magazine release in the works which will come out after the grip is on the market. Just not enough hours in the day to get it all done at once.

Look at the Sig 551. It has the Swiss style lever mag releaase. My son has short fingers and he love it.

My fix until Dawg180 comes out with a better one.

You can use middle finger like I do!

You could always dremmel up an MOE grip to fit like I did!

I don't have pics anymore as I have since sold the rifle (a bit front heavy for my tastes, to each his own...), but the process is relatively easy. Use the original grip as a guide when cutting off the beaver tail and just trial-and-error fit it.

ETA: I posted a thread on here a while ago with pictures if you can find it.

Been playing around with this for a while and I think I got this one solved.
