Description
Ruger 77 series Extended Magazine Release
Originally designed to work with our 77/44 bolt action Ruger rifle, we have since learned that this will fit all of the Ruger 77-series bolt action guns (77/17, 77/22, 77/357, 77/44).
Will *NOT* work in the Ruger 99/44(Deerfield), or the 96/44(Lever action).

I own a Ruger M77/44 Carbine. Ruger has stated publicly that their design of M77 rifles with the rotary magazine follows a philosophy of a flush mounted detachable magazine and magazine release. Even though it can be a pain in the a**. I ordered this lever to fix that and it’s GREAT!!!!! In fact, I own another M77 rotary magazine rifle and have replaced that one as well.
Thank you I Q Munitions!!!

I ordered after receiving confirmation that the release would fit and function with Ruger’s 77/357.
This is just what I have been searching for, having attempted to modify other extended magazine releases to no avail.
Function is as advertised; fit in my Ruger has a small amount of side-to-side play, which I may shim out at some point.
Overall, a solid upgrade that I can recommend without reservation.
Thank you, IQM!

This directly remedies a weak point in design. It blew me away that Ruger didn’t fix this problem this was the original design in the 10/22. Bravo to Iqmunitions for putting this out. I was able to install this with just a flat screwdriver and a toothpick. It is a a giant improvement, and aides in fast magazine exchange. I can’t wait for the 10 round magazine.

The extended magazine latch works very well and is a cinch to install. It is highly recommended!

I just received it on Friday and its great. It took longer for me to find my tools than it took to install the new release. If your running stock 4 round rotary mags, it’s a GODSEND!!!! It makes removing the mag 3 times easier. You won’t be sorry!!!

I installed five extended magazine releases in M77s with absolutely no issues.
M77/22 22 LR (Wood stock)
M77/22 22 WMR (Wood stock)
M77/17 .17HMR (Wood stock)
M77/22 22 Hornet (Wood stock)
M77/357 ALL-WEATHER .357 magnum (synthetic stock)
By the way, my wife absolutely loved the ease of use!

For what it’s worth, there seems to be a fit & compatibility issue with the 77-22 All-Weather, as the original magazine releases are somehow 1/8″ shorter — we are currently working on a revised mag-release for that sub-model.
Thank You!
