I have used one for a couple hundred rounds now and like it. They are not that bad...

I think it looks like a great idea. I bought one, and I will post up what I think about it after I get some range time with it.
The metal one looks like it would work great, too, but I'm not drilling holes in my $1,200 rifle to put one of those on it. |

I bought one, I used it, I like it. It works fine with all my mags, even euro spined mags. I find it to be an improvement over the stock mag catch for competitive shooting, as I can release the mag without moving my strong hand from the grip, and by extending the catch beneath the trigger guard, makes it easier to find the mag catch when I'm in a hurry. Also, it reduces the perceived effort to operate the latch, having more surface area and leverage than the existing latch on my rifle. This is my first and only product from this company that I have ever used, but if I ever make another 'practical' AK, I will buy another.
Here is my practical AK build thread. |

I bought one of these mag catches and it works fine. I wanted to put it on my PSL because it could really benefit from it but it wouldn't fit so I have it on my Vepr II. I need to go field test this unit. One of my concerns is the larger mag catch profile might be vulnerable to getting caught on foliage while traversing dense brush, though I have yet to encounter any such problems.

I had that sheet metal one and removed it in less than a year. The metal is thin and easily starts to bend downwards with normal use . The rivets also loosened up, causing it to wobble. For me, it wasn't worth keeping it on. I drilled out the rivets and removed the part. I didn't even save the part afterwards, I just threw it away. Good design; Poor execution.
Now I have two cool drain holes in my lever

I've got one, works great with my surplus steel magazines. Seems to be holding up fine.

CAA-EMA makes some good gear, I believe this company tests its gear and accepts user input in a pretty positive manner. I may or may not give the product a try but I do know thy build quality, affordablee gear.

Mine was a piece of shit. It fit on my .223 WASR. Put a mag on and they won't come off because of the spine on the mags. Had to modify it to get the mag out. Wouldn't work after that. Waste of $15!!!
The vendor gave no warning about it not fitting. |

Rocksarge, I get that it didn't fit your rifle. Thing is, I've bought real commie AK mags that don't fit. Real commie handguards and butt stocks that don't fit. How does their product not fitting your odd ball gun make it a piece of shit?

I have one, I like it. I don't use it with my trigger finger like the picture. I just use it like a standard mag release. makes the release a little longer giving you more leverage and it's rounded and plastic so it's more comfortable on your thumb. Also good for slapping the the empty mag out of the way with the full one like this.

I used the EMA tactical release because after a while from unloading and reloading magazines on drills my thumb will start to get raw. The EMA Tactical cures all that.. It makes the standard magazine changes easier because it extends the magazine latch out and is not sharp. Once it is attached I would leave it at that and not take it out. As I would think the threads in it will strip easily. The Side things are useless. Not enough force to unlatch and drop the magazine. For standard use it is awesome piece.

Will this EMA AK mag release work with the Sig 556R?

Bought a couple of them. Only a little problem inserting some mags but felt that all mags should work. Took them off after a couple range days when myself and a couple buddies all thought they are more in the way than useful. If you know how to change a mag you don't need this.
