The Radian Weapons extended bolt catch (brand part no. R0323) upgrades a standard AR15 bolt catch with a larger, easier-to-reach control surface finished in black. The extended paddle gives shooters a bigger target for a fast, deliberate manual bolt release during reloads or malfunction clearance, which matters most under time pressure or with gloved hands. Because it is built specifically as an AR15 drop-in part, it installs using the rifle’s existing bolt catch pin and spring, giving builders a straightforward way to improve manipulation speed without a full lower parts kit swap.
