Looks different and works - Battle Arms Development AR-15 Cast Enhanced Magazine Catch

Polux's Review of Battle Arms Development AR-15 Cast Enhanced Magazine Catch
This magazine catch works well, not rocket science, and looks different. I wanted to customize my build with a set of lower parts that were different than mil-spec so I chose this one. The looks are good but the overall size of the part is smaller than mil-spec. I installed it, and after my bolt catch was in I decided it did not look right, so I took it all off and started fresh with a mil-spec catch (PIA to remove the bolt catch and risk of marring my receiver, which I did). The mils-spec part looks are just ok but the part fills the entire cavity leaving no gaps, whereas the BAD one is a bit recessed and smaller. Function of both parts was adequate and after debating looks went back to the Battle Arms one. So keep this in mind. Also the lower was an Aero Precision.
Pros:
looks different
Cons:
Smaller, bit recessed vs mil-spec
Best Used for:
Customizing
Would Recommend:
