Luth-AR’s The Paddle Oversize .308 Bolt Catch Assembly in black steel (brand part no. LR-BC308A) enlarges the bolt catch lever on a large-frame .308/7.62-pattern AR lower, giving shooters a bigger target for fast, positive bolt release and locking. Luth-AR built this paddle design for shooters who need reliable manipulation in competition, hunting, law enforcement, or military use, including when wearing gloves in tactical or cold-weather conditions where a stock bolt catch can be hard to actuate cleanly. Machined from steel, it’s a durable direct-fit upgrade for large-frame lowers built to Luth-AR’s or compatible .308 AR platform specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit a standard AR-15 lower? No, this bolt catch is sized for large-frame .308/7.62-pattern lowers, not standard AR-15 lowers.

Why choose an oversize paddle over the factory bolt catch? A larger paddle makes bolt release and lock faster and easier, especially with gloves on or under time pressure in competition.
