It looks badass and it functions exactly as anticipated. Wing tactical took only 2 days to get it to me

I always had wanted a bigger catch and release for my rifle not so much on the release side. But the catch always seems to small on most factory rifles, then strike came to save the day for me.

I can get better pressure on the larger catch pad of this bad boy so that makes me a happy critter. And I like the different look of the release over the traditional oval shape of other versions.

Again this is something I would recommend for purchase, one thing I will note though the supplied roll pin was to larger to fit in my lower. But no big issue for me as I just refused my orginal.

Read the pros and cons...and then buy it. I put this on my duty rifle and having used it, will be getting more of them for my others.

This was a replacement for one of your regular bolt release that broke. I chose the extended one to give it a try. I like the extended tabs, easier to manipulate the bolt release.

I am a detail freak as I am always looking to accessorize my AR’s where they look sharp without looking overdone. Strike Industries meets all my requirements for the look I am going for. Great fit, easy to install and Wing Tactical has the best prices ha did down...thanks so much!

Installed on a Gibbs 5.56 Side Charging upper and it works as it should. Doesn't go the same direction as the recess on the upper but that was my fault due to my lack of attention to detail at that moment!

Great addition for the new AR build. As described, good quality, and good fit.

On my recent build of a 10.5" AR pistol I thought I'd give this version of Strike's bolt catch a shot because this had a different look to it and "should" function the same as the previous version, right? No. This one has has been a struggle from the get go because of the pressure required to release the bolt. Using only your index finger is impossible as you simply cannot get enough leverage. I get I have small-ish hands but there's NO HOPE! You simply cannot release the bloody thing at all! The catch face LOOKS like the other, but upon inspection, I noticed the catch face appears to be thicker than the stock version. Maybe mine was a fluke (though I seriously doubt that) or, maybe it's how they designed this particular one; who knows. Because it's from Strike, it SHOULD be the same as the other Enhanced Bolt Catch except for the paddle shapes - it is NOT. Finally, between the 3x of uninstall, Dremeling, polish, install routine I was able to make this function as it should have right out of the package. Frustrating and disappointing for sure! I currently use a "Strike Industries Enhanced Bolt Catch Large-Wide Dual Paddle" on another build and it is STELLAR. I'm a lefty shooter with smaller hands and this latch makes life a lot easier for sure. In addition to being ergonomic, it catches as it should but releases with no effort- you push the paddle and the bolt slams shut. Easy, and as I imagined it should work- like the EOM mil-spec catch, but better. Hence, the "upgrade." This version, not so much. Bottom line: If you don't mind tinkering and gunsmithing products that should be "drop in ready," then great! If you want good to go out of the package, then STAY AWAY from this and get the other version. You'll be stoked.

Purchased for my Aero Precision build. Great fit, form, and function. I'm not a huge fan of the finish on it but that's an aesthetic opinion that others may disagree with. Works great.
