AR Magazine Release Tool

I wanted a tool to help get the magazine catch pushed out of my M16/AR-15 without scratching or marring the metal. To compresses the spring and make removal of the magazine catch easier.

Looking around I saw AR Magazine Catch tools similar to mine on various web sites for around $10 without shipping. I am frugal and own a 3D printer, I decided to make one.

I know you can use many other things to push it out, such as, but not limited to, pencil, punch, your kids finger….If you have a 3D printer it is a quick and cheap print.

You can download the STL on Thiniverse

Glock Training Setup II – Adding a Little Flare

I got the Dry Fire Magazine Glock 19 Gen 5 half moon issue described HERE fixed. I designed and printed a magwell insert to plug the half moon and give me a little flare:

Just slide it in:

And your DryFireMag (DFM) will slide right in:

Safety Check…

Install the mag-well and slide the Dry Fire Magazine in:

Glock training setup

I have had my MantisX and DryFireMag (DFM) for about a week and 250 ‘shots’. So far they have met all of my needs, I am happy with the purchase.

The only complaint I have is not with the DFM, it is my Glock 19 Gen 5 and the half moon hole in the mag well. It is yet another issue with Glocks short lived half moon.

There is no flare on the cutout, so the DFM pin wont slide in and allow the magazine to seat. You have to manually push the pin in until it is passed the half moon cutout. Then it will slide into position and work like a champ.

This is not an issue with other Glocks as the magazine wells are flared.

Just give it a good push, follow the instructions and you are in business.

When I use the MantisX with the Dry Fire Mag I want to leave my light on and train as I carry. I would also like to use all my existing holsters for holster drills. To accomplish this I made a base plate with a built in Picatinny rail to mount the MantisX on.

It is easy to install. Slide off the factory plate. Dont worry there are no springs that will pop out or parts that will fly. Slide on the new one.

Then Clip on the MantisX

Train.
