Forward Controls Design EMR-A V2 (Enhanced Magazine Release – Ambidextrous)
New for 2025, the EMR-A is redesigned and improved for greater leverage and smoother function.
The Forward Controls Design EMR-A is a drop-in replacement magazine release that is compatible with most AR-15 and AR-10 lower receivers. It uses an extended lever with redesigned geometry to enhance leverage for left-handed users.
A 10.9 pound spring is included to reduce accidental activation of the magazine release. Available in two different textures, in serrated and dimpled styles.
Machined from steel and finished in black nitride. Made in the United States.

The magazine release works perfectly. A must-have for us southpaws. Definitely going to be putting them on all my builds. And, because I’ll be ordering so many of them, the ramen will help tide me over until my next paycheck!

Have tried every version of these and all are nice and make non-ambi lowers much easier to work with. Check fencing on your lower because there are a bunch that will not work with it but a great addition if yours will.

Sol and his crew shipped the part out super fast. Ramen and slaps are a nice touch. Parts easy to install and the included spring is much nicer than the weak milspec. 10/10 recommend.

Super easy to install and works like a charm. Ramen was a nice touch. 10/10

Simply the best ambi mag release. Better than what’s on many special ambi lowers even. Extremely easy to actuate while still being very low profile.
