Reviews & Ratings for Guntec USA AR .308 Bolt Catch Screw
— 7 reviews — Page 1
The Matrix Aerospace AR 10 is a Cadillac AR and the hurt on your wallet will confirm that if you buy one new. I got a deal at a pawn shop, but after the first trip to the range, it resulted in the bolt catch screw, spring and plunger coming loose and disappearing where only the great Kreskin or a Magic 8 Ball knows. Don't count on the original manufacturer lifting a finger to help you. I called, called again, sent emails and no one in their organization would lift a finger to help me find replacement parts. Wish I had an uncle on a Senate appropriations committee, but no luck there. The proble...

I bought this for an Aero Precision M5 lower, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it also fits Aero Precision M4E1 lowers. It looks much better than the stainless steel screw that comes standard in the Aero Precision lowers.
Would recommend: Yes

I purchased this Bolt Catch Screw to replace the factory one that came with my Aero M5 lower. The factory one was easily stripped when i tried to tighten it. This screw is the exact fit just black in color.
Pros:
Good material
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
replacement
Would recommend: Yes

Just as described part works great op did it again � buy two as you may drop the first one and not find it. ask me how I know. couldn't believe how fast it came. Guntec makes some solid parts. Now this is just a filler sentence as they require a lot of words for a small part description. Hope this does it!

This could be a little longer perhaps. But it allows the catch to WORK as it's supposed to. (The pin that came with the lower parts kit was far too loose.) The hole DID require enlarging a bit of course.
Pros:
None
Cons:
end not chamfered, a bit short
Would recommend: Yes
