It was hard to find in August 2026, in stock on only 2 of the 13 days we checked, and today only Optics Planet has it in stock. It dipped to $23.13 at Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore for a stretch in August 2026, well under its usual $34.97 to $39.99, so sales do come around. Buying today, the lowest price is $39.49 at Optics Planet, above August's low of $23.13, so a better deal may come back.

Leapers UTG ambidextrous extended mag release is a budget ambi mag catch. Right side paddle is sized for thumb activation. Drops in with the standard catch spring. Anodize matches mil-spec parts. Good budget ambi option.
ambi mag release for cheap. the only knock is the anodize on the right paddle is a slightly different shade of black than the left, you only see it in direct sun. function is correct, fitment was a press in with the standard mag catch tool
