How to Install a Bullet Button

Bullet buttons and mag locks are two types of devices that affix magazines to semi-automatic weapons. The magazines can then be removed only with a special tool. This allows gun owners and operators to have other special features on their guns --- including pistol grips and folding stocks --- which are prohibited on guns with detachable magazines. Review state laws regarding the use and possession of semi-automatic weapons before installing bullet buttons.
