 I then installed the magizine then the mag retentoin bar and screw{ I put a dab of red lock tite on therefor good mesure}.  If I didnt have to drill out the epoxy this part would have take me about 10 minute 

 

 

Now for the takedown pin. yes that is a rifle stock not realy a fan of the othe type.

A really nice kit and very simple to put in. The takedown pin is great, but it does need a little use to losen it up a little other then that and not have instruction this kit is awsome I will be using them on future builds for sure.

My Smith & Wesson AR came with a bullet button that was epoxied and I dug it out cause I was going to go with a Thordson stock but i changed my mind so I  also purchased one last month to replace it. Looks a lot better and was easy to install.

What's the benefit of this kit over any other bullet button type product ?

Besides the oversized takedown pin

One the ease of installation no special tools and there is no questoin that the mag is fixed and when the Safe Act gets amended it is easier to convert back as you not having to drill out a ton of JB weld.

 

Aswel as your supporting a local business.

I've purchased two of these kits for two different rifles.  Fit and finish on the parts is excellent and the kit is super easy to install.  One of the AR's I installed in had a tighter tolerance on the takedown pin hole and the anodized coating was binding up in the hole.  Probably off by one or two thou at the most.  Called Jerry's and they sent me a new one the next day that was perfect.

Did you fill the head of the allen bolt with JB Weld?

[dank27]

I have one on my AR10. Great product

[Ancap]

If you loosen the bolt, can it be used as a regular magazine release

[Phoenix69]

This one looks interesting to me.

[bill3rail]

What is the cost of the kit.  I may run out there to get one.

Looks nice and easy to  get the Mag out but maybe a little too easy  out if all you have to do is break open the gun and slide that little doohickey in to release the mag and pop another one in.

All the parts are very nice quality and I really like the take down pin design.

[SemiAutoFetish]

nice review! And thank you Jerry!

No you would need to remove the kit and remove washer.

If you losten the bolt the mag will not stay in the gun.

 No I did not yet. cause you need to use a tool to remove the mag so im still up in the air on that. But i most likely will.
