Odin Works Gen 2 Extended Magazine Release for AR-15 - Precision Aluminum Construction

The Odin Works Gen 2 Extended Magazine Release is a precision-machined AR-15 upgrade designed for shooters who want faster, more intuitive magazine changes without breaking grip or shifting hand position. Machined from billet 6061 aluminum, this extended magazine release gives you a larger contact surface than a standard mil-spec button, making it easier to hit cleanly—especially during high-volume range sessions, competition shooting, or when you're wearing gloves or cold-weather gear.

If you're running a Magpul BAD lever on your lower receiver, this release works alongside it seamlessly. The contoured design incorporates ODIN's signature boomerang cuts and is engineered for positive, reliable actuation with minimal risk of accidental slip. Installation takes minutes and requires no gunsmithing; it's a straightforward drop-in that any shooter can handle.

At just 0.1 oz (including the paddle, button, and hardware), the XMR 2 adds negligible weight while delivering a noticeable quality-of-life improvement to your rifle's controls. Whether you're building a precision rifle, upgrading a duty gun, or fine-tuning a range toy, this is the kind of thoughtful accessory that proves itself every time you reload.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work on my AR-15 if I have a Magpul BAD lever installed?

Yes. The Odin Works Gen 2 Extended Magazine Release is designed to work alongside the Magpul BAD lever, allowing both the lever and extended button to function together on the same lower receiver.

Does this extended release work with anti-walk pins?

The XMR 2 may require modification to work with anti-walk pins. If you're running anti-walk hardware, we recommend checking fit before installation or contacting Odin Works for compatibility guidance.

How much does it weigh, and will it affect rifle balance?

The Gen 2 weighs just 0.1 oz total (including the paddle, button, and all hardware), so it adds virtually no weight to your rifle and has no meaningful impact on balance or handling.

Is this easy to install myself?

Yes. Installation is straightforward and takes only a few minutes. No gunsmithing, special tools, or armorer expertise required—most shooters can swap it in during a routine maintenance session.
