Put this on my 5.56 rifle build. Very nice feel to it, and does what it's supposed to do. These should be the standard bolt catch on every AR15 pattern rifle. My only complaint is that the side of the catch opposite the button is unfinished, and has bandsaw marks. Mine had a burr along that corner that caused it to bind a bit in my receiver, so i had to do some filing on it to make it function smoothly without binding up. I modify practically everything, so im not taking stars off for that, but they could have at least machined that surface and deburred the edges. That being said, you should always expect to have to make modifications to anything that comes with the word "universal" on it. Would recommend and buy again. Plan to get another one for my .300blk pistol.
Would recommend: Yes

Love these POF bolt releases. A little more surface area, but not vastly different from mil spec. Solid and well made, POF always comes through.

I've installed these carches on all my MSR's. The little pad works great to alleviate my thumb from being abused. And it does stick out aesthetically. No issues with these after over 2 years of using the first one.

Well made and seems to be durable. I like the enlarged bottom portion. There were some tooling marks on mine that were not pretty but other than that excellent product.

I like these bolt catches, they are well made, they are well made and they work without giving you a sore thumb. They are easy enough to install and are not gaudy. I like my AR's clean. And they don't cost a lot. I highly recommend these items.
Pros:
- Easier to find and release the bolt
Would recommend: Yes

I like these, I have them on all my AR-15 platform firearms. The release tab is wide enough to work better without being in the way or an eyesore. And they work just fine. The mil-spec releases get to working on your fingers after long days of shooting. These do not do that. The little pad is wide enough to worke great and is easy to find when your not looking at it. Fit was great, as well as the finish. And they are easy enough to install. On mine I dive the hold-in pin out enough to get the old one out and new one in. I am happy with these and highly recommend them.
Pros:
- Easy install and easier to use.
Best Used for:
- AR15 platform, pistols and rifles
Would recommend: Yes

This bolt catch design should be stock on every standard AR. The enlarged lower pad is a noticeable improvement compared to the tiny stud on a Mil-Spec version. Engaging the bolt catch becomes much easier and faster due to the increased surface area. This is especially helpful if you're wearing gloves. The quality is excellent and its a perfect drop-in fit. Best of all it's made in the USA! As a veteran I really appreciate quality American made parts on my rifles.
Pros:
- Excellent quality
- Excellent value
- Improved function
Would recommend: Yes

Better than original, I switched out all of my MP Bad levers for these types with a ambi charging handle. Geisslie version is a little nicer but a little oversized for me. These seem to be the perfect size for me not too large but just enough of an improvement

Catch works great and fits snug but not tight. Definitely on the max end of specs. Pressing to hold Bolt is easy and takes less of your concentration.it came non oiled and had rust already forming so had to soak in oil over night and scrub to clean up.
