Armaspec Tactical Combat Button
The Tactical Combat Button – or TCB – from Armaspec is a larger magazine release button for your AR-style rifle. How much larger? Precisely 263% larger.
According to Armaspec, the “TCB is designed to improve the functionality and ergonomics of the factory button.” Essentially, the TCB “enables button engagement” without having to adjust your grip on the gun.
The company states the TCB is compatible with 5.56 and 7.62 receivers. They are made of 7075 T6 aluminum and come in black, FDE and OD. The MSRP is $30.
Armaspec also makes the Rhino R-23 Tactical Magwell Grip and Funnel for the AR-15. According to the company, the “ultra-litght, super strong mil-spec reinforced polymer” parts mount on the magazine well of the gun.
In addition to enabling “low light/no light magazine changes,” the company states they reduce magazine change times an average of 48%. It is not known if those speed reductions were in combination with the TCB.
The Rhino-23 Tactical Magwell Grip and Funnel carries a MSRP of $30. It is available in black, FDE and OD.

Low light no light mag change... Who stares at their weapon during mag change? If you are that desperate for equipment replacing training then just replace the operator behind the weapon while you are at it.
Simply put. Stop trying to buy your way out of training before you kill yourself or someone who you did not intend to.
In all the years I served in the military, I never once had any ergonomic problems with the OEM magazine-release button on the standard-issue M-16 and M-4, nor did I ever witness anyone else having such issues. While I am sure that some users will find the Armaspec TCB to their liking, I think it may be one of those accessories that has gone a bit too far in its general concept.
