This guide details the installation and operation of the ARMagLock device, designed to comply with restrictive magazine laws in states like California and New York. The ARMagLock effectively pins the magazine release, requiring a specific takedown pin manipulation for magazine changes, transforming the AR-15 reload into a 'light machine gun style' procedure as explained by an experienced firearms instructor.

Quick Summary

The ARMagLock is a device that pins the magazine release on an AR-15 style rifle, preventing magazine detachment until the upper and lower receivers are separated. This modification is used to comply with state laws that restrict detachable magazines. To reload, pull the rear takedown pin, pivot the upper receiver open, allow the magazine to drop, insert a new magazine, close the upper, and reinsert the takedown pin.
