tomjerry1 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 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 ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two in Caspian guns, I can check to see if I have any spares. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjerry1 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Local machine shop should be able to drill and tap it 4-40 for you if you don't want to do it yourself. Gunsmith obviously also if no joy finding one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman57 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Small job shop would charge 20-25 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripod Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 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.

Bamboo Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
