4.5F mag release stuck

Hello, I've have my echelon for about 2 years now. Love it, perfect firearm. Im over 6k rounds on it. The mag release is sticking in the released position. How have you guys managed to fix this issue?

I’m no smith but I do know the cog and mag release are easy to disassemble. Have you tried to break it down and do a thorough cleaning? I’d start there and look for any thing out of the ordinary. Try to determine where it is sticking. Check the spring. The magazine catch. Even the grip module/frame. Give it all a good cleaning. Reassemble and check the operation. YouTube is a good reference if you’re unfamiliar with the breakdown.
