Frequently Asked Questions

What lower receivers is this compatible with?

Strike Industries bolt catches are compatible with standard mil-spec AR-15 or AR-10 lower receivers (as indicated by the product designation). They install using the existing bolt catch roll pin hole and plunger spring without modification to the lower receiver.

What is the difference between enhanced and extended bolt catches?

An enhanced bolt catch typically features improved geometry or materials for better function within a standard overall size. An extended bolt catch adds length to the paddle for a larger activation surface, making it easier to hit during a reload without precise finger placement.

Does this require any modification to the lower receiver?

No — Strike Industries bolt catches are direct drop-in replacements using the standard bolt catch roll pin and existing lower receiver geometry. No drilling, milling, or modification to the lower is required.
