Description
Anyone who has spent real time behind a Ruger 10/22 knows the factory magazine release can be a bit of a knuckle-buster. It is small, tucked in, and takes a bit of hunting to find under pressure. The Tactical Solutions X-Ring Extended Magazine Release (EMR) fixes that with a longer lever that sits right where your finger naturally lands, so dropping a mag becomes a simple push instead of a fumble.
This one is machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 aluminum and wears a clean matte black finish that blends in nicely with most 10/22 builds and keeps glare down. It is shaped to follow the contour of the trigger guard, so it hugs the profile and stays out of the way until you need it. There is almost no added weight to speak of, which is exactly what you want on a rifle you might carry around all day plinking or chasing small game.
Why the X-Ring EMR Earns Its Spot on a 10/22
The whole point here is speed and comfort. When you are burning through bricks of .22 at the range or running drills, faster mag changes add up. The extended lever gives you a bigger, more visible contact point, and most folks find they can swap mags without ever breaking their grip. It works with factory Ruger 10/22 rotary magazines and fits standard factory trigger groups, plus it plays nice with TacSol X-Ring .22 rifles.
Installing the Extended Magazine Release
One of the best parts is how painless the setup is. No gunsmithing, no special tools, and no permanent changes to your rifle. Most people have it on and running in just a few minutes by following the basic install steps, and if you ever want to go back to factory, you can. It is the kind of upgrade that punches well above its size for how little effort it takes to add.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the X-Ring EMR fit a standard Ruger 10/22?
Yes. It is designed to work with factory Ruger 10/22 trigger groups and their rotary magazines. It also fits Tactical Solutions X-Ring .22 rifles, so most standard 10/22 setups are covered.
Do I need a gunsmith to install the extended magazine release?
No gunsmith needed. The install is tool-friendly and most people have it done in just a few minutes by following simple instructions. It replaces the factory release without any permanent modifications to your rifle.
How does the extended lever actually make mag changes easier?
The factory 10/22 release is small and hard to reach, especially in a hurry. This EMR gives you a longer, more visible lever that sits under your finger, so you can drop a magazine with a light push instead of digging for the button. It is a noticeable difference at the range or during drills.
Will the matte black EMR add noticeable weight to my rifle?
Not really. It is machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, so it adds almost nothing to the overall feel of the rifle. You get the improved ergonomics without changing the balance of your 10/22.
