Luth-AR’s Paddle Bolt Catch Assembly (brand part no. LR-11L-A) replaces the standard AR-15 bolt catch with an oversized paddle that makes bolt manipulation faster and more positive under any conditions. The large paddle surface makes it easy to lock the bolt back and release it quickly, which matters in competition where every fraction of a second counts, and in hunting, law enforcement, or military use where gloves and cold-weather conditions make small factory controls harder to manipulate. Built from black steel for long-term durability, the assembly comes complete with everything needed for a full replacement: the bolt catch spring, the bolt catch buffer plunger, the oversized paddle bolt catch itself, and the roll pin.
