WK180-C ambidextrous magazine release

[varazar]

My old ar has an ambi mag release button and I'm thinking of trying to put it into my wk180-c looks like it should be compatible but does anyone know for sure?

Thanks

Update: incase anyone is interested, I swapped out the Ambi mag release from a norinco ar15 and it fit and worked perfectly on the wk180-c, both the regular button and the Ambi side. Was easy to install without any tools other than a pencil to hold pressure on the button while unscrewing the other side. Of note, the button seemed slightly smaller than the wk180-c but not by very much. You can't really notice a difference once installed.

Not sure if an Ambi will work, but I pulled the milspec mag release out of an AR and put it in my WK lower and all is well.

There's an ambi mag release on the TNA website that is stated as compatible with the WK with some fitment filling needed. The WKs/MCRs definitely use an AR15 magazine release, and any standard release will fit, but non-standards, such as ambis, may require some fitment due to the contours of the lower receiver.

Can't remember where I got mine but it worked fine. Was made for an AR.

I guess I'll have to give it a try, thanks for the info.
