BAD Enhanced Bolt Catch — Black 8620 Steel

Description

The Battle Arms Development (BAD) Enhanced Bolt Catch is a drop-in upgrade designed to replace the MIL-SPEC bolt catch on AR-15 pattern rifles. Its geometry improves purchase on both the release and lock portions of the catch, making bolt locking and reloads from bolt lock more efficient. The part is skeletonized to reduce weight while removing material not needed for function. Finished in a matte, precision CNC billet black, the catch is manufactured from 8620 steel and features oversized control surfaces and a T-shaped heel for positive engagement.
