Overview
The Strike Industries Ambi AR-15 Magazine Release in red is designed for both right- and left-handed shooters, offering a seamless and intuitive magazine release experience. Its hardcoat anodized finish provides durability and resistance to wear, ensuring that the release remains responsive even after extensive use. This magazine release is often found in builds that utilize a mid-length gas system chambered in 5.56 NATO, making it a practical choice for those looking to enhance their rifle's ergonomics.
Strike Industries Ambi AR-15 Magazine Release - Red ranked #13 of the 91 magazine releases builders added on GunPartPicker in August 2026, behind the Sons of Liberty Gun Works AR-15 Magazine Release, with about 2% of all magazine releases added to builds. Down from #9 in July. Builds with this magazine release are mostly chambered in 5.56 NATO (77%, then .223 Wylde 23%), split between mid-length (50%) and rifle-length (20%) gas systems, and mostly AR-15 (81%, then AR-10 19%).
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, but today only Primary Arms has it in stock. It dipped to $32.49 at Ammunition Depot for a stretch in August 2026, well under its usual $36.99, so sales do come around. Buying today, the lowest price is $39.95 at Primary Arms, above August's low of $32.49, so a better deal may come back.
