Tactical Solutions Extended Magazine Release, Ruger 10/22 and X-Ring, Aluminum, QuicksandThe Tactical Solutions Extended Magazine Release, or EMR, is a simple upgrade that makes your Ruger 10/22 or TacSol X-Ring rifle faster and easier to run. It replaces the small factory magazine release button with a longer lever that sits along the front of the trigger guard, so you can drop the magazine with a quick press instead of hunting for a tiny button. This listing is the Quicksand finish, a flat dark earth color, Tactical Solutions part 1022EMQRS (also listed as 1022EMR-QS).Tactical Solutions machines the EMR from a single piece of 6061-T6 aluminum and shapes it to follow the contour of the factory Ruger trigger guard for a clean, integrated look.Make mag changes effortless. Order the Tactical Solutions EMR in Quicksand from BattleHawk Armory.Faster, Easier Magazine RemovalThe factory 10/22 magazine release is a small paddle or button tucked behind the magazine well. It works, but it is easy to miss, hard to operate with gloves and slow for new shooters. The EMR extends the release forward as a long lever that you can reach with your trigger finger or thumb. Push down on the lever and the rotary magazine drops free. At the bench, in the field or during a timed rimfire match, that saves fumbling and keeps your eyes on the target.Machined 6061-T6 AluminumInstead of stamped steel or molded plastic, the EMR is cut from one piece of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum. There are no joints or pinned sections to loosen. Aluminum keeps it light, so it adds virtually no weight to your rifle, while still being stiff enough to give a crisp, positive feel every time you press it. Retailer listings put its dimensions at about 3.75 x 0.5 x 0.125 inches.Contoured to the Ruger Trigger GuardTactical Solutions shaped the EMR to follow the lines of the factory Ruger trigger guard, so it sits close to the guard instead of sticking out where it can snag. The result looks like a factory part, only better, and the Quicksand anodized finish adds a touch of color that pairs well with flat dark earth stocks, TacSol barrels and other Quicksand receivers.Quick, No-Gunsmith InstallationInstalling the EMR takes minutes with basic tools and no gunsmithing. You remove the trigger group, replace the factory release with the EMR and reassemble. Tactical Solutions provides video instructions. As with any part, function check the rifle after installation before loading live ammunition.CompatibilityThe EMR is designed for Ruger 10/22 rifles and Tactical Solutions X-Ring 22 rifles that use the standard 10/22 style trigger guard. Tactical Solutions notes that because of tolerance differences among parts from other manufacturers, some aftermarket trigger groups or guards may need minor fitting, and it does not guarantee a 100 percent drop-in fit on non-TacSol components. Anodized color can vary slightly from photos.Build Out Your 10/22The EMR is one of the most popular low-cost upgrades for the 10/22 platform because you notice it every time you shoot. Pair it with a TacSol receiver or barrel, a match trigger and a new stock for a complete custom rimfire build.
