So I lost the magazine release button out of my .270 a few months ago. The escutcheon and button both fell out on the same trip to the range. I was able to quickly locate the escutcheon but try as I might I could not locate the button. I've considered making my own button and at one point I located a thread on this forum that actually had the dimensions. Can't seem to find it anymore. I was just going to do some trial and error fabrication but I ran on to this at Brownells:

Looking at it the models it fits seems a bit tricky. My rifle is a left handed, wood stocked, E-series serial number. I've always assumed it was a Model 110CL manufactured between 1982 and 1989. This is not on the list of model choices, although a 110GC, which is listed---is a hardwood stock, magazine fed which my rifle most certainly is.

For $5.99 I'm thinking I'm just going to try and see but I wondered if anyone else has walked the same road and knows?

I've never encountered the problem your having but, even if the button doesn't work, you may be able to modify it, Definitely worth a try.

Good point, easier than starting from scratch probably.
