Odin Works Gen 2 Extended Magazine Release for AR-15 - Precision Aluminum Construction
Odin Works
The Odin Works Gen 3 Extended Magazine Release for AR-15 is a precision-machined control upgrade designed for shooters who need faster, more reliable magazine changes without fumbling for a tiny factory lever. If you run an AR-15 with aftermarket trigger components—especially KNS pins—or you're combining that Magpul BAD lever with your build, this extended magazine release solves the clearance and ergonomics problem in one compact aluminum part.
Built from 6061 aluminum and featuring Odin Works' signature boomerang cut, the Gen 3 XMR gives you a substantially larger push-button surface than your rifle's stock release. The bigger real estate means your thumb finds the lever instantly, whether you're running drills at the range or working through a dynamic shooting scenario. Installation is straightforward—no gunsmithing required, just a few minutes and basic tools.
The Gen 3 design is the result of direct feedback from the AR community: it clears both KNS hammer and trigger pins (a common pain point with earlier designs) and plays nice with Magpul BAD levers, so you're not locked into one specific build path. Whether you're optimizing a precision rifle, a duty-style AR, or a tacti-cool range gun, this release removes one more friction point from your platform.

Yes. The Gen 3 design is specifically engineered to clear both KNS hammer and trigger pins and to work alongside the Magpul BAD lever, so you can run both aftermarket components without clearance issues.
The Gen 3 was developed to address feedback about KNS pin and Magpul BAD lever compatibility that users reported with the Gen II. The Gen 3 resolves those clearance conflicts while maintaining the larger push-button surface and boomerang cut design.
No. Installation takes only minutes with basic tools; you do not need a gunsmith or specialized equipment.
The product is specifically designed for AR-15 platform rifles. Odin Works does offer extended magazine releases for other platforms, but this particular model is AR-15-only.
