The Sons of Liberty Gun Works MK1 Maritime Bolt Catch (brand part no. SOLGW-MK1-BOLTCATCH-KIT) is built to SOLGW’s own small-parts line, designed to fit most mil-spec AR-15 lowers as a drop-in replacement for the factory bolt catch. The maritime-style paddle is a common upgrade for shooters who want a more positive bolt release under wet or gloved conditions than a standard mil-spec bolt catch offers. This AR bolt catch/release part is sold as a complete kit.

• Built to fit most mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers.

Will this fit my mil-spec lower? It’s built to fit most mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers, but confirm compatibility with any billet lower before ordering.
