Most Helpful Positive Review Great part, not compatible with all magazine release levers
This is a well made part, is very sturdy and installation was simple. This issue I ran into was that it made contact with my Strike Industries Ambi mag release lever. So if you have an ambi mag release lever you might want to find a different bolt catch; the larger area on the 'bottom' (the part y...

Most Helpful Negative Review No Hardware included
This bolt catch does not come with the roll pin, plunger, or spring necessary for proper installation. Which is a shame, because the primary draw of this product compared to similar "enhanced" bolt catches is the price. Once you factor in the cost of sourcing the hardware yourself, there's little re...

I do recommend this bolt catch. I'm running these on both of my AR 15s.

Doesn’t even come with spring and plunger

by Nick Buziak, Verified Owner from NY, United States Written on September 10, 2024
I bought this one because of the price point. Had I realized I would have to source my own spring and plunger to even install this thing at retail cost, I’d have just gone with one of the slightly pricier options. First gun part I’ve ever bought that didn’t come with the hardware to install it.
Pros:
  • Skeletonized
  • Serrations
Cons:
  • Lacking parts
  • Cost is not the final cost
Best Used for:
  • Replacing old bolt catch, not new install
Would recommend: No

nice, but not great with Aero EPC-9 upper

by Josh N, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on June 11, 2022
Strong, will finished 9mm bolt catch. Only problem is that it won't work with the Aero EPC-9 LRBHO feature without modification. I did get it to work, so if you don't mind tinkering it's great. However, if you want a easy drop in catch that will just work with the EPC-9, look elsewhere.

Great upgrade for minimal $

by Mike, from CA, United States Written on May 26, 2020
Great way to upgrade your lower. When new, lowers are frequently a little rough until they’re fully broken in...a larger bolt release provides a little more leverage which makes it a little easier to release.

All I use for my builds

by Oakes, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on May 20, 2020
I first tried this unit on a SBR build and liked it so much I swapped out all of my bolt catches. Smooth finish with no burrs, chips or finishing marks. Easy to install and in over 50 plus builds, not a single failure. Highly recommended.

Works well

by Zack, from RI, United States Written on March 21, 2020
I bought this item as an easy upgrade for my NFA MP5 lower and it works great. It does it’s job to lock the bolt back and hold it well and the enhanced ergonomics make it easier to use. Great upgrade and easy install make it worth the buy!
Pros:
  • Works as expected
  • Better ergonomics
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • AR style lower receivers
Would recommend: Yes

B.A.D. enhanced bolt catch

by Boss, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on May 23, 2018
Battle Arms Development enhanced bolt catch. It went into the upper just as easy as any other bolt catch. It has a nice “skeletonized” look and pretty aggressive serrations, making it easy to locate by feel. The tab on the bottom helps a lot with manually catching the bolt.
Pros:
  • Quality
  • Look and feel
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • AR - 15
Would recommend: Yes

Battle Arms Development Enhanced Bolt Catch

by Catfish, from KY, United States Written on May 20, 2018
Its an enhanced bolt catch. It works, you'll need the roll pin, spring and plunger. Its not a kit. Looks pretty good too. Optics Planet shipped it out pretty quick. It was very well packaged in a decent sized box.
Pros:
  • Easier to manually lock the bolt back.
Cons:
  • Not a kit.
Would recommend: Yes
