Why Choose This Product
Factory cover release buttons can degrade over time from repeated use and recoil forces, leading to loose or unreliable dust covers. This direct replacement restores smooth, secure operation without compromising the innovative quick-release design of TWS Dog Leg rails. Installers appreciate the drop-in nature that minimizes downtime and integrates seamlessly with existing recoil spring assemblies.
Installation Considerations
Replacement requires disassembly of the recoil spring assembly. The button fits into the rear trunnion slot; minor sanding on the bottom surface may optimize fit on select rifles. Always lubricate the trunnion slot and verify seating by cycling the bolt carrier after reassembly.
