    Yes, I have a couple of them. They work great on the original bullet button if you go out of the state to shoot. Just be sure you don't ever attach it in the state, not even temporarily to drop a mag - use another tool while in the state. I keep mine in one of the open holes in the 3-bullet MIAD grip - fits perfectly.

    Here's a picture of it in my MIAD grip core.

      I haven't heard of what you're talking about, but I do know with the Raddlock you can use the tool they provide for when you leave CA; turn it a few times to the left and it functions the same as a normal magazine release.

          I'm not quite sure what you're asking. You can buy CA legal bullet buttons in a lot of places - Riflegear.com for one: http://www.riflegear.com/c-78-ar-15-rifle-parts.aspx
          Most of the recent bullet button designs allow for an "out-of-state" configuration that makes it easy to drop mags w/o a tool.

          The little magnet thing the OP is asking about is something that fits in an older style bullet button that makes it easy to drop mags by attaching itself to the mag release that is normally covered by the bullet button. Basically, it extends the mag release, so you can drop it with your finger. I really like them, they are a simple, solid solution.

          I do not make them - the one pictured is a Solar Tactical prototype from awhile ago - I'm not even sure if he still sells these.

            I have seen a magnet "bullet button" for 7.62 equipment, however, the size/shape of the plastic housing didn't fit the mag release on my 5.56. The Riflegear store isn't so far from my home, so maybe I should go there and look.

              Yeah, you should definitely swing by Riflegear. They are good people and very knowledgeable in all things CA legal.

                  Is there a newer version of the Raddlock? I can't do that with the Raddlock that's currently on my AK.

                    why not just install the BB and re-install the regular mag drop when leaving kaliphornia? it takes only moments.

                      The product you are looking for is called a Mag Magnet. (TM I think).

                      The inventor, Steve, can be reached on his website http://www.ar-magmagnet.com/

                        I believe that only works on the Raddlock for AR15 type rifles.

                        I have this type of magazine lock on all my ARs and I love them. Very easy to drop mags when out of state.

                        I don't care for the AK raddlock on the other hand.

                          I think the AK raddlock is a bit cumbersome, but I'm not a fan of "featureless" rifles, so I'll deal with the inconvenience. It's not like I'm using my AK in a combat situation to where I need to drop a mag real quick to reload. If I'm ever in a SD situation to where I need to use a firearm, it's either my pistol or my shotgun.

                            Isn't the Mag Magnet the "FELONY BUTTON" that Bill Weise Has been railing about in the past? Me thinks so. . . . . .

                              They should be the same. My 7.62 is running a normal Radlock and as per their instructions I'm using an Armalite mag catch. I know my oldschool BB was going to be a little tight but a few passes with a file and it would have dropped right in.
