M400 stiff ambi mag release

[Nic3500]

Hi, I have a Sig M400 AR. The ambi mag release works, but it is quite stiff to operate. Compared to the pressure I put on the right hand button, the left side release is ~about~ 2 times harder to depress.

Do you know of any options I could replace it with? I saw the usual suspects, but it is very hard to know how much pressure is required to operate each model. Hands on experience and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for the easiest, lightest left side mag release **that works**.

Thanks! Nic

It shouldn't be tight. I have a couple of these m400's. I'd dump some lube on it first and work it in , otherwise pull it apart and redo. And if its the same one I have ( the lower is kind of 'molded' around it) not sure if you could find another ambi to fit that space as it looks custom fit.
I'd lube it first, strip it second. its definitely one of the best ambi's out there for lefties.
