A magazine catch body comprising a magazine and a magazine catch body comprising magazine catch buttons extended left and right, a magazine catch shaft connecting the magazine catch buttons to each other, and a magazine catch lever connected to the shaft for transmitting locking-releasing movements of the magazine catch buttons to the magazine to lock and release the magazine to the firearm, is disclosed. The magazine catch body comprises a spring around the shaft. The magazine catch buttons are substantially symmetrically located in respect of the firearm. The magazine catch buttons form the magazine catch body to one structural unity functionable as one mechanism. The magazine catch button extended left comprises a necked part pressing the lower receiver and receiving draw of the spring causing a holding force. In the necked part is an opening for a pin forming a turning axis of the magazine catch button extended left.
