Ruger Precision Ambidextrous rimfire Magazine Release

[1bdvet]

So I am slowly making my Ruger Precision 17 HMR rifle to my liking.

What I can't find is Magazine release that is ambidextrous for the rifle. I have found ones with extended release but no one that would have the release on both sides.

So has anybody replaced, saw a few on u-tube!

So anybody have a source for one?

Below is my build.

I saw that, and it says only works on 22LR, plus do they expect me to make it, I just want to buy one that will work, there is lot out three of a extended release, but I want one like in the picture.

Hello Vet,
Did you ever find an extended mag release? I'm looking for a new one.
I have one now but it has started pushing the mag button to one side and now it is binding.

Sorry to report I did find a gunsmith upstate NY that has a 3D printer, and made a Beta release to test before putting them on E-Bay.
The one he made about year ago for me, hasn't gotten back with me, saying he was busy now, and was putting it on the back burner.
I can say the one he made haven't had any issues for this release, have gone through at least 10 bricks of ammo.

I wish I could help you!

I tried to bring up there website for you, but it seemed to be gone.

It sounds like I will be stuck with one from Mongoose / Anarchy Outdoors.
The short standard one has a bulbous section that goes into a groove in the magazine detent. The Mongoose does too. The one that I have now does not and it is causing my detent to cock sideways and jam. I can live with a center release but not the jamming.

As I look at the upper most section of your 3-D version above, I can see small radii. That is the bulbous area
that creates a smooth rolling action in the detent groove.

thanks so much
Shawn

I just researched and found his e-mail I used with him, and sent him a shout out, will let you know if he replies back to me, is the best I could do for you.
