I'm a lefty and I've accidently dropped mags with the C7a1 on patrol as well. The problem is with the mag design (flame suit on).
I know we can make the factory release better and ambi but nobody can expect a complete redesign of the magwell to accomodate this. let me rephrase that - Nobody will pay what it will cost for us to supply a completely redesigned magwell for this rifle.
A good solution that the user can isntall in their basement should be no problem.
i can agree with that. its all about what people are willing to pay to modify their T97's. i am a lefty, so i dont need to change much when i get my T97. i do agree that a button release is lame tho. i've dropped mags at some pretty bad times during my time in the sandbox.
