I have always found the mag release on my 10/22 a bit of an annoyance to operate with my large fingers.
Last night I was looking through the assortment of metal that I have collected for my lathe and mill and selected a small piece of 1/4" OD steel tubing. I cut off a piece 3/4" long for the extension.
I removed the mag release and clamped it in the milling vice and drilled it and tapped it for a #8-32 screw and cut a seat for the end of the tube with a 1/4" end mill.
It works very well and I was able to use my $10,000.00 plus investment in machine tools to save $6.00.
