The Fortis Billet Mag Catch (brand part no. AR15-MC-6061-ODG) is a direct upgrade over the stamped magazine catch found in a standard Mil-Spec AR-15 lower parts kit. CNC machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in OD Green, it swaps in for the factory catch in seconds with no gunsmithing required. The billet construction holds tighter tolerances than a stamped part, giving a more positive, consistent magazine release. It’s a small part that makes a noticeable difference in how crisp your reloads feel.
