Description
Reaching that little stock magazine button under pressure can feel like fishing for a light switch in the dark. Timber Creek's AR Extended Magazine Release solves that with a larger, contoured paddle that sits right where your trigger finger expects it. The face is machined with texturing so your finger locks onto it instantly, and the extra surface area means you can dump a mag and reload without shifting your firing hand off the grip.
What Sets the Timber Creek Extended Mag Release Apart
This one is CNC machined out of aircraft-grade billet aluminum, so it stays lightweight while holding up to plenty of hard use. The red hardcoat anodized finish isn't just for looks either, though it does pop nicely against a black or FDE lower. Anodizing hardens the surface and resists the wear and scuffing a control surface takes over thousands of reloads. It's a small part that punches above its size when you're running drills or trying to shave time in competition.
Installing the AR Extended Magazine Release
If you've ever built or worked on an AR lower, you already know the drill. It installs in seconds and works exactly like a standard mil-spec release, so you just pull your existing button and drop this one in its place using the same catch and spring. No milling, no gunsmithing, no permanent changes to your receiver. It's built to fit across the AR platform, making it an easy upgrade whether you're finishing a fresh build or refreshing a rifle you've had for years.
Folks with smaller hands or shorter reach tend to notice the difference right away, and competition-minded builders like the wider margin it gives them during fast reloads. Timber Creek backs the part with a lifetime warranty, which tells you they stand behind the machining and finish. For a component this affordable to add, it's one of the more satisfying ergonomic tweaks you can make to an AR-15.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Timber Creek AR Extended Magazine Release hard to install?
Not at all. It installs in seconds and works just like the standard mil-spec release, so you remove your existing button and drop this one in using the same magazine catch and spring. If you've assembled an AR lower before, you'll have it done in a couple of minutes with basic tools and no gunsmithing required.
Will this extended mag release fit my AR-15?
Yes. Timber Creek designed it to be compatible across the AR platform, so it works with standard AR-15 lowers. It swaps in for the factory button, so as long as your rifle uses a standard mil-spec magazine catch and release, you're set.
What's the benefit of an extended magazine release over the stock button?
The stock button is small and smooth, which makes your trigger finger hunt for it under pressure. The Timber Creek release gives you a larger, textured, contoured paddle so you can drop mags faster and more instinctively without breaking your grip. It's a favorite upgrade for folks with smaller hands or shorter reach, and for anyone chasing quicker reloads in competition.
Is the red anodized finish durable?
It is. The part is CNC machined from aircraft-grade billet aluminum and finished with a hardcoat red anodized coating, which hardens the surface against the wear a control takes over thousands of reloads. Timber Creek also backs it with a lifetime warranty.
