I went with the VQ metal extended mag release lever because it was infallible, and because it was easy to actuate with the user's trigger finger.
It mimicked the mag release of my M1A, which was the intended purpose, as tmy 10-22 was meant to be a stand-in/replacement for my m1A. FWIW, the USGI mag release lever on the M1A/M-14 was very little different from the Volquartsen unit.
If one has some sort of problem accidentally actuating the VQ extended release during hunting, then I don't know what to say. The VQ extended mag release is hidden-and protected behind all extended mags with the exception of the the flat 10-rd Ruger mags. Those people having problems accidentally having mag release with the VQ--or other extended mag releases-- will have to explain, in detail, how such mg releases occurerd.
