What do you think? Anyone use one of these? I think they look better and more "finished" than the stock one. I tried ordering four of them but they only had two left in stock so I ordered two for now.

Spike's Tactical billet magazine button.

I'm not 100% sure. They are on their way to my house and should get there before I get back on Friday. I will update this after I get them installed. I think they are slightly longer that stock.

They are a whopping $8.95 each. I found them at Aim Surplus but bought the last two they had in stock. No shipping charges or tax. Here is a link.

What the hell? I ordered two of them and they showed up and they are different. One of them was in a package with an Aim Surplus label and has the cross-hatch pattern on it and looks just like the picture in the ad on the internet. The other one was actually in a Spike's Tactical package and has some kind of a cross-type or checkerboard pattern on it. I will install the one with the cross-hatch pattern into one of my lowers sometime tomorrow and post some pictures and details. I have offered to send the other one to my step dad if he wants it. If he doesn't want it, I will most likely post it up here in the classified section.

Step dad responded back. He'll take it. I am going to order two more soon in hopes that they arrive with the cross-hatch pattern. If they show up looking like the one on the right in the photo above I will sell them cheap.

I actually like the looks of the checkered button.

OK. Decided not to wait until tomorrow. Here are the details followed by a couple of pictures. The stock button is approximately .300" tall. The Spike's button is about .350" tall. Once installed, the Spike's button protrudes about .075" beyond the raised portion of the frame surrounding the button. The first picture is the stock button beside the new one for reference. The second photo is the new button installed. It operates great.
