It is a small part but it can really make operating the rifle so much easier. I have several other rifles and one of my latest had this feature from the factory. It made manipulation so much easier in certain situations that I have been upgrading all my AR pattern rifles with this feature.
The Adams Arms Ambi Bolt Catch/Release is a simple design but is very effective.
Installation is super simple.
1. Take the upper off
2. Remove bolt catch from package along with the pin and retaining screw
3. Push pin into bolt catch and slide into place.
4. Tap with punch and hammer to seat pin into place
5. Insert and secure retaining screw
6. Put the upper back on and enjoy!
It doesn’t seem to have any issues with the dust cover as far as hitting it or anything. It both catches and releases the BCG smoothly.
The price point is good and the shipping time for this was quick. Like under a week.
The only con that I have is purely cosmetic…. It is a lighter grayish black than the rest of the stock factory controls that are on the rifle. It is not super noticeable but just enough in my eyes to stand out.
Yet if that is the only issue it is definitely worth the cost. It does what I wanted and works smoothly.
Good job Adams Arms!!
This part was installed on a VERY VERY VERY VERY low serial numbered SMF 308
