    Another method of dealing with the improved v.2 mag release tension is to add a simple spacer to the release catch torsion spring.

    This is a small block of hard rubber matting inserted between the long spring leg that rests against the bottom “metal” in front of the catch. It lifts the spring leg, therefore increasing the twist, and thereby increasing the stored mechanical energy in the spring. This make the “press” required on the catch that much greater. If you don’t have a collection of stronger torsion springs that will fit the magazine catch then this is a very easy modification that makes an accidental mag release considerably less likely.

    Now when you fit the magazine it makes a very satisfying and confidence inspiring CLACK rather than the previously rather timid click…
