I am looking for an extended mag release, or a mag release that has been drilled and tapped for a button for a Caspian high cap frame ???

I have two in Caspian guns, I can check to see if I have any spares.

Would appreciate it, this is my first experience in open guns, and am really use to a mag button. I understand Caspian mag releases are extended, but no holes for button.

Found two but neither are drilled. Did you call caspian. Don't remember where I got the ones in my guns.

Don't know what it is about mag releases but they seem to be made from the hardest metal on the planet.   I found drilling and taping 4-40 threads difficult on a few no name mag releases I've done.   Even heated one up to see if that would soften the metal.

I have Caspian widebodies, and yep....you have to drill and tap yourself.   And yep, they are very hard.  If you don't have the right tools, it is better to let your smith do it and the nice thing is that they are small and you can mail the part if your gunocologist is not close. 

 

I like the Ed Brown button, or the Dawson Lo-pro but there are a bunch of paddles and buttons out there that you might like better.
