So who has long enough fingers to hit the magazine release without having to really stretch to reach it? On my AR-15s I own, I can eject a magazine using the mag release with no effort. My finger higs the magazine release button very easily.
On my two 556s, I have noticed that Sig put them about 1/4" too far out and I have to twist my wrist a little to reach out and hit it one handed. I am 6 foot tall, so my hands are not small, but not basketball player large either. Any idea why Sig moved the magazine release out so far? |
| Yes, it's out there a little bit more. I have the same issue. I did find that backing the nut/release out one full turn helped a little as I didn't have to press the release in so far. I'm also wondering if switching out the SAW style grip to an AR style might bring my hand a bit further forward and alleviate said issue. Seems like the smaller grip diameter would help get the hand forward more. |
| I had the same problem with the mag release, so I bought a Magpul MOE grip and spent 20 minutes measuring and using a dremel on the grip (taking a little bit at a time off). The smaller grip on the rifle looks better in my opinion but also allows me to drop the mag without adjusting my firing hand. |

Curious where most of the shaving needs to be done. I assume you need to hog out the center? |
| The center hole does need to be opened a little. For the cuts on the sides I put the MOE grip over the sig grip that I took off. Trace the lines of the sig grip on the MOE, make the initial cuts, try it on the gun, make some more cuts, and repeat until I had it just right. It only took 20 minutes from start to finish. |
