If you’re interested in improving the operation of your AR-15, consider the Strike Industries Enhanced Bolt Catch.
The AR-15 bolt catch locks the bolt carrier group in the rear position when your magazine has been emptied. This AR bolt catch also allows you to release the bolt when you’ve reloaded and are ready to resume firing. Because of its function, it is important that the bolt release be sturdy and easy to manipulate.
The Enhanced AR-15 Bolt Catch by Strike Industries features a bold, ridged pattern to assist in providing positive finger engagement. The extra-wide lever surface allows for simpler finger operation and improved finger contact. This bolt release will fit snugly on all Mil-Spec AR-15 lower receivers. Made from solid steel, this release will give your AR a noticeable edge over the competition, while at the same time providing you with a sturdy mechanism to catch and release your bolt.

A simple Aesthetically Pleasing Upgrade
Posted by on 7th Jun 2018
Not really an upgrade for me as it is part of a custom build but it was easy to install, great looking, quality built and is a unique different look than MIL SPEC.

Nice, simple upgrade!
Posted by Bearon on 30th May 2018
Nice quality catch! I very much appreciate the increased surface area of the lower paddle. It enhances the catch without being gaudy.

SI bolt catch
Posted by Gary on 2nd May 2018
I watched a lot of youtube so if you take your time and be careful it can be a pretty easy installation. It made it easier for the bolt catch and release plus it looks good.

Strike Industries Bolt Catch, part #SI-EBC
Posted by Unknown on 28th Mar 2018
Product is a flat gray color and has no sharp edges. Perfect proportions, business-like appearance, pleasing to the eye. I installed it prior to setting my adjustable gas system, so it has held the bolt open on over 50 empty magazines. I would say that qualifies it as durable. If I were to nit-pik, I would prefer a finish that matches a standard upper (black). i will be installing these on my other ARs.

A simple but worthwhile upgrade
Posted by Bob A on 24th Nov 2017
This piece simply provides a somewhat larger bolt open contact compared to the USGI unit. It adds a degree of comfort without any bulkiness or obstruction. No question that it is a worthwhile upgrade. Highly recommended.

Better than USGI
Posted by Buster Brown, Regimental Armorer, Class of 73 on 1st Sep 2017
We bought two lowers that the mags fell out of when the bolt closed on the last round. We installed these one both, and no more mags hitting the floor.
Our ARs have Strike Ind mag releases, bolt catches, and flat springs, from Wing Tactical.
If these are not in your AR, then yours are lacking. -
Great

SI Bolt catch
Posted by Steve on 14th Dec 2016
Easy to install, well made and a great price. All top notch products from SI.
-
Good looking but could be machined better from SI
Posted by Unknown on 24th Oct 2016
This part is a good add for function and looks. It however will not fit all billet lowers and uppers. The roll pins weak and are in need of a higher quality roll pin. For the price and fit I like the looks and feel of these but without the proper tools for modification they may not work with billet lowers and uppers.

Easy to engage bolt lock back
Posted by Unknown on 12th Sep 2016
I really like the enlarged pads on this bolt catch. It makes it a lot easier to hold the bolt open. Also easier to release. I shoot left handed and i don't have to move my hand around to set or release it. Just have to move my trigger finger. I put one on each of my ARs. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is one of the 2 had a small nub on it that I had to sand down so it would fit.

Really dig the design
Posted by Lotus_8 on 23rd Aug 2016
This is a great shape and design for a bolt catch. I got mine and installed it and it works great. There was a thick line from the casting process down the left side of the one I received and I really wanted this to look like a high end build and looking at photos I think I just got an ugly one.
I reached out to the manufacture to see if the part was MIM and this is the response: " The current EBC is investment cast from milspec 8620 and correctly carburized, quenched and tempered for proper surface hardness. It is the same material and process as used on the U.S. military's bolt catches, and the same used by companies such as ALG and BCM. The previous iteration of the EBC, which did have occasional brittleness issues, was MIM'd. That version has been out of production since early February. "
They should include this info in the description as this is a really nice high quality upgrade!
I did remove mine because of the line and installed a BAD mag catch and I honestly like the design of the SI better but that line made mine just look cheap. -
Enhanced Bolt Catch is great
Posted by Hung Long on 14th Aug 2016
Works just like it should. Installation was just like any other mil-spec bolt catch. Do not hesitate if you're on the fence, strike has a lot of good products and this is definitely one of them.
P.S. Installing this will make you more operator by tenfold. -
Must have AR platform item
Posted by Sgt. Sargent on 5th Aug 2016
Simply put, this should come standard on all ARs .
The simplicity of having the ability to easily release and lock the bolt is amazing . Gone are the days of feeling for the pin to lock open the bolt. Fast and non intrusive.
Well done Strike ! -
Bad Ass Bolt Catch
Posted by M. Flanigan on 21st Jul 2016
Strike industries makes some of the best looking products on the market today. This bolt catch is no exception. Looks awesome and has large pads to lock/unlock the bolt. Why buy mil-spec when you can spend a few dollars more and have something nice looking on you AR.
-
looks are everything
Posted by Unknown on 17th Jul 2016
The larger size Functions better than the standard mil spec and looks a lot better. This is an inexpensive upgrade to an ar. Good quality works well and easy to install.
-
the way it should have been from the beginning
Posted by LateOutDrsMn on 5th Jul 2016
I never understood why the part you press to catch the bolt was so small. This takes care of it. Feels and opporates great. Will be picking up a few more for future builds and gifts.

Like the fit and it works great on my 9mm lower.
Plus got it for a great price -
Very well made
Posted by Robert on 24th May 2016
I love this bolt release. It's a big upgrade from the regular milspec catch. It's easy to use the meat of your thumb pad to engage it.
