The inventive technology describe herein employs a removal assist mechanism for a firearm magazine that eliminates hang-ups and gravitational restrictions and allows consistent, reliable, safe, and dependable magazine ejection from a firearm. This removal assist mechanism is for a firearm having a magazine release actuator. The embodiment of the overall mechanism includes a biasing mechanism connected to the magazine and which extends from the magazine to contact a part of a firearm containing the magazine, wherein the biasing mechanism biases against the firearm part when the magazine is inserted into the firearm and remains under resistive force while the magazine is retained therein, until released by the magazine release actuator whereupon releasing the biasing mechanism assists in ejection of the magazine.

A dual magazine release system for a firearm has a housing attachable to a firearm. The housing includes first and second magazine holders, the first magazine holder positioned to retain a first magazine to feed ammunition to the firearm and the second magazine holder positioned in front of a trigger of the firearm and configured to retain a spare second magazine. A magazine retaining and release system is coupled to the housing and configured to retain the first magazine in the first magazine holder and to retain the second magazine in the second magazine holder and to selectively release the first magazine or the second magazine independently from one another or to substantially simultaneously release the first and second magazines from the first and second magazine holders, respectively, upon actuation of the magazine retaining and release system by a user.

An apparatus for ambidextrous control of a bolt carrier and/or a magazine release is disclosed. In certain examples, the apparatus includes a lower receiver of a firearm including a protrusion extending outward from a first side of the lower receiver, the protrusion. The protrusion, in certain examples, includes a first slot for receiving an L-shaped lever, the L-shaped lever having a vertical arm coupled to a bolt catch lever and a horizontal arm that extends through a trigger area to a second side of the lower receiver that is opposite the first side. In certain examples, the protrusion also includes a second slot for receiving a magazine catch lever.
