Winter Park, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- ARMagLock is a new patent pending AR-15 fixed magazine solution. It allows New York, Connecticut, California and new potential Rhode Island AR-15 owners to comply with existing and proposed fixed magazine laws, potentially avoiding assault weapon registration within their respective states. Stay compliant with the laws.
See our legal disclaimer for additional information.
The ARMagLock turns your firearm into a “fixed magazine” firearm that can not release the magazine unless you pull the takedown pin, and separate the upper and lower receivers, thus “disassembling” the firearm action.
Once the receivers are minimally separated, the ARMagLock can be engaged to release the magazine.
After many requests we have produced this illustrated photo guide to installing your own ARMagLock accessory on your own firearm.
You will need the following tools:
- Pick Tool
- Screw Driver (small)
- Bullet Button Tool (optional)
- Allen Wrench that is included
- Needle Nose Pliers
- May need Dremel or file for troubleshooting
Installing the Magazine Catch Bar:
Notes for troubleshooting:
1. After installation of the ARMagLock the button is loose in the lower, to the degree that the magazine can be removed without separating the upper and lower receiver and pushing the button.
a. It should be tight enough that the magazine catch bar keeps magazines from being pulled out even with force, just like an OEM magazine catch. Tighten the cap screw until the desired fit is acquired.
2. After installation of the ARMagLock the button is tight in the lower, to the degree that the lip is jamming between the upper and lower receivers when attempting to close them.
a. It should be tightened to the point that the magazine catch bar holds magazine in place but not so tight it jams the upper bar between the upper and lower. If the required tightness for magazine retention continues to place the upper bar between the upper and lower receives when attempting to close, remove a few thousands of an inch (with a Dremel, light file or sand paper) off of the upper edge. (see image below) Continue until the upper lip is flush with the upper receiver when closed.
Replacement of Rear Takedown Pin:
The easiest way to remove your takedown pin without undoing the castle nut and stripping the staking is to do the following. Pull the rear takedown pin and open the receiver.
Thank you for purchasing ARMagLock!

Here’s where it gets bad. We all agree to the bs rules of installing a bullet button, and going to a 10 round mag only, because that’s what they said we had to do to make it legal for us to own an AR 15, AND we were allowed to keep any 30 round mags that we already owned prior to 2001 assault weapons act. Now they have reneged on that, now they want us to take the same gun that they already gave us their word on, (like we can trust our governments word) and ad more bs to… Read more »
hi, quick question. In CA after installing the maglock do I have to put red tight on the threads and drill out the bolt so its a permanent install? i’m not sure about that and don’t really want to do that.
I’ve tried purchasing from your website but it says your site cannot be reached is a product still available?
It worked for us, I would try them again.
got this kit, install simple nuff, though installing magazine is not as advertised, but I can live with that vs not having my fire system to plink at targets. Busting open the rifle in half, and changing magazines is what the law wants, and they shall have. This kit is awesome to fit the way the bill was written. (though manufacturer will not say that this will satisfy the lawmakers) – but that is just lawyer talk to cover for any lawsuits, litigations. I see non, because of the design and how the law is written. I still do not… Read more »
Good idea, but what happens if you move somewhere that allows the original mag release? Now you need to drill it out and risk damaging the receiver. I’d rather get a device that can be removed easily.
Ny has already said these will not make gun legal
I don’t think your correct on that. I live in nys and many many shops here sells gun with this set up and the ar mag lock.
I can see these not passing muster in California if the new laws pass. The law, as written states that the mag lock can not be operated by a tool. With the cap head screw open to the outside, and accessible for loosening with a tool, I’m sure that these will quickly be lumped in with the bullet buttons and prosecuted as such. I suppose you could increase your odds by filling the socket head with epoxy so you can’t insert a tool into it.
It may, it may not. I ordered one today regardless. Living in California, I would rather have one on order then sit on the fence wondering. I almost purchased it a while ago. I like to support those fighting for our rights.
The mag lock isn’t operated by a tool; it installed with a tool. Any use of a tool on it after it is installed would only uninstall it and make the rifle unable to have a magazine in it at all. It’s all dependent on who is looking at it. I guarantee no LEO is going to see you use it properly and say “hey, you can use a tool on it… that’s not legal”. I see enforcement of this “assault weapons” ban being meager at best.
Simple solution:
FILL the Allen head with epoxy.
You CANNOT use a tool to release the mag that way.
This makes it perfectly legal.
I can understand your frustration, but I think you guys are coming at this from entirely the wrong angle. Having lived in California, I can tell you that It many decent and down-to-earth gun owners, and gun owners from whom I learned a great deal about firearms, be it safety, laws, or politics. They are not a political majority, but California is a big state, and even a minority in a state of 38 million represents a whole bunch of allies whom the CA legislature would love to Bataan-death-march into the Pacific if they thought they could. The advent of… Read more »
Not good. Anything that rattles got to go. Been there done that.
It’s really getting ridiculous that people have to come up with such crap to exercise their God given right to self defense. I will never live in any of the Constitution Free Zones that have been established by liberal/progressives.
Why not follow the constitution and tell these power mad lunatics “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”
Why not just use a “bullet button”?
in California the bullet button is not legal any more.
Bam!! LOL! ROLL TIDE!!!
