Most Helpful Positive Review Excellent value. Excellent product
Works as advertised. No problems. It is every bit as good as the Magpul product. I intend to buy more. Best not to use it as a CanOpener I guess. But under normal use there’s no problem. It is also a very good value. Makes operating the AR bolt much easier. Buy it!
Most Helpful Negative Review Piece of garbage and waste of money
The lever bent after assembly during normal test operation. The lever needs to be made of a metal that's just as hard or solid as a MILSPEC bolt catch. It's not. It's made of a soft aluminum alloy perhaps similar to an AR-15 receiver if not softer. There's a reason AR-15 bolt catches are steel. ...

Screw stripped out, wouldn't ever get snug enough

by DroneShotFPV, Verified Owner from IL, United States Written on December 31, 2023
The screw totally stripped out in the cheap aluminum (purchased the Blue one). It wasn't the head of the screw that stripped either, it was the threading inside the back piece. It must be the SOFTEST aluminum in existence, because I didn't even crank on it, legit hand tight to make sure it was positioned where I wanted it before snugging it up, and it stripped right out! Replaced with another brand
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • Soft metal, poor quality control, cheap and inferior
  • stripped threads
Best Used for:
  • paper weight
Would recommend: No

Missing Hardware / Poor Quality

by Cameron Healy, Verified Owner from CO, United States Written on May 17, 2023
The center screw to adjust how tight it fits on the mil spec bolt catch was missing. Due to this screw missing the lever was extremely loose and unusable. The metal feels incredibly cheap and is not durable. Since I was unable to test functionality, I’m rating this with one star, only because it won’t let me rate it lower.
Pros:
  • Green
Cons:
  • Cheap
  • Unusable
  • Missing hardware
Best Used for:
  • Regretting
Would recommend: No

Stripped screws

by Jack Rohan, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on March 10, 2021
Screws stripped out almost instantly while installing. I barely put and pressure while tightening the screw. Once installed it is very loose and rattles around. Very poor metal quality, I almost feel like I am bending it when applying force to release the bolt.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • Metal Quality
Best Used for:
  • nothing
Would recommend: No
