Fix the AK Magazine Wobble With the New M +M, Inc. Magazine Release Lever
(Patents Pending)
Evolution of the M10 - Progress is Natural

Northglenn, Colorado: M+M, Inc. is a small firearms manufacturer designing and selling innovative
firearms based on the AK-47 and other evolutionary platforms.
While there are a number of methods and mechanisms used for the purpose of securing the AK
magazine fit, none of them appeared to securely accommodate for the wide degree of variability in
design and specifications of magazines in the marketplace. Challenges to consistently experiencing
a snugly fitting magazine across platforms and among different magazines include:

The position of the magazine lug varies between manufacturers

The shape of the magazine lug can vary
Common latch release mechanisms tend to be sharp on their single, metal edge point of
contact which can wear on the magazine lug itself creating irregularities
Lack of guide stops

This wide variety created a situation where some magazines wobble from side-to-side in the
magazine well. M + M, Inc. designed a solution to the AK magazine wobble that provides an easy fix.
Mike Meier, President & CEO, stated, Our newly designed magazine release lever incorporates a
self-adjusting feature designed to fit a wide variety of magazines and secure them in any AK-style
rifle. This evolutionary design will enhance the performance and enjoyment of any existing AK
rifle.
This is achieved by:

Incorporating a flat surface many times larger than the single metal edge contact point of
the previous designs

Angling the flat surface so that the leading edge is shorter than the average point of contact
of old designs to accommodate magazines with lugs positioned across a wide spectrum

The existing latch/release mechanism on AK rifles is typically riveted in place at the factory. Many
consumers do not have riveting tools or any familiarity with rivets. However, the rivet serves not
only to retain the mechanism in place, but also as a pivot point for the lever that the latch/release
mechanism consists of.
Replacing the old latch/release mechanism is as simple as removing the old rivet, generally by
drilling it out, and putting the new latch/release in place. Where the old one was riveted to the
trigger guard, a pin and E clip serve as the new hinge and secures it in place.
Initial orders of Magazine Release Lever will have a 3-week lead-time. For more information please
