Guntec AR-15 / AR .308 Extended Mag Catch Paddle Release

Enhance your AR-15 or AR .308 build with the Guntec Extended Mag Catch Paddle Release, a precision-engineered upgrade designed for faster, more reliable magazine changes. This oversized paddle provides superior leverage and tactile feedback, allowing shooters to instinctively locate and activate the release without shifting grip or breaking focus during high-speed drills or tactical scenarios.

Key Features

• Ergonomic contoured paddle design delivers a larger contact surface for quicker acquisition and reduced fumbling, even with gloves
• Lightweight T6 aluminum construction adds minimal weight (just 0.10 oz including hardware) while maintaining exceptional strength and durability
• Universal compatibility fits any mil-spec .223 or .308 lower receiver, whether forged or billet
• Anodized finish options in Blue, Flat Dark Earth, and Red provide corrosion resistance and a custom aesthetic
• Made in the USA with precision machining for a perfect, wobble-free fit

Benefits for Shooters

Standard magazine releases often feature small buttons that slow reloads under pressure. This extended paddle solves that by increasing reach and surface area, enabling smoother, more consistent magazine swaps in competition, training, or defensive situations. The contoured shape promotes positive engagement without adding bulk or interfering with other controls.
