FMA AKMR for AK (Black) (TB490)
The FMA AKMR for AK (TB490) is a black accessory for AK-pattern replicas, styled on the AKMR, a polymer magazine release extension for AK rifles made by an Israeli accessory maker. On the original, the AKMR adds a larger surface at the front and bottom of the trigger guard area so the shooter can reach the magazine release more easily and change magazines faster.
Anyone who has used an AK knows the magazine catch can be awkward to find with gloves on or in a hurry. An extended release is one of the simplest ways to speed up AK reloads, and it also adds a modern, upgraded look that suits contemporary AK builds.
How it helps
With a standard AK catch, you have to find a small paddle tucked behind the magazine. An extension such as this gives your thumb or trigger finger a bigger, easier target, so you can press it and rock out the empty magazine in one movement, then rock in a fresh one.
It is particularly helpful for players who wear thick gloves in winter or who play fast-moving CQB games where every second counts on a reload.
Fitting
The original design mounts without gunsmithing and does not interfere with the trigger. Airsoft AKs vary between makers in the shape of the trigger guard and the magazine catch, so please check the product images to see how FMA’s version attaches, and compare it with your replica before ordering. Fit it with the replica unloaded and the battery or gas removed, and check that the magazine still locks in firmly afterwards.

Compatibility
Designed for AK-pattern replicas. Trigger guard and magazine catch shapes differ between airsoft makers, so check the product images against your replica before ordering, and test the magazine lock after fitting.
Care and maintenance
Check the extension is still secure before each game, as it can be knocked when you go prone or rest the replica on cover. Clean out grit and mud around the magazine well and catch after muddy games so the release keeps working smoothly.
Who is it for?
For AK players who want faster, easier reloads, especially when wearing gloves, and a more modern look for their replica.
Please note: Replica not included. Always check the magazine locks firmly after fitting, and wear suitable eye protection when playing airsoft.
