VZ58 Extended mag release & bolt release

[Robertmtl]

Has anyone had any luck with these replacement parts? I just bought the extended mag release and bolt release from BC tactical. I noticed right away the extended mag release has different angles where the releases meets the mag. I installed and first it seemed to large and would not release the mags. I tried to file it down and it got better. Right now I don't have confident in the release to the original one.

The bolt release seemed to a be a complete waste of time. I fit perfectly and it is great for use when you want to hold the bolt open. I bought it as it stated the release the bolt, which seem almost impossible, especially with one finger. I tried tow and them even my palm and it's was extremely hard.

Has anyone had the same experience and what did you do to resolve it. As right now I regret buying these upgrades.

If the mag is empty, the bolt release is very hard to press. It will work better with a full mag.

Also I have hard that CSA's and BC Tac's bolt & mag set need a little work cause of the differences in the receiver design. Did you try contacting them?

I saw some videos on how to install it on there sight and Youtube and no mention about needing working. I found it strange that people were no allowed to make comments on the youtube video, and found that strange. I worked the bolt release a bit more by sanding down the sides and it seems a bit better but still needs more than the index finger. On the extend mag I saw a the area where to file down a bit so the release would go future forward and release the mag. I should make a video on this as it will help other if they install the parts.
