PWS Mod 2 Bolt Catch

The PWS Mod 2 Bolt Catch is one of our top choices for an easy yet meaningful AR-15 upgrade — especially when paired with the CMMG Ambi Mag Release. Its precise size and fit make it a seamless addition for shooters looking to enhance the ergonomics and handling of their rifle.

Why We Recommend It:

  • Enlarged Paddle for Enhanced Dexterity: The increased surface area on both the top and bottom of the paddle makes locking the bolt to the rear or releasing it forward quick and confident.

  • Textured Checkering for Positive Contact: The checkering on the top portion of the bolt catch provides secure, slip-resistant engagement, even under stress or while wearing gloves.

  • Versatile Compatibility: Works with most AR-15 forged and billet lower receivers (not compatible with AR-10/SR-25 platforms).

  • Built to Last: Constructed from cast AISI 8620 steel per ASTM A-732 specifications and finished in durable Black Oxide for long-lasting corrosion resistance.

  • Guaranteed: Backed by a limited lifetime guarantee for peace of mind.

Combine it with your preferred ambi mag release for a more ergonomic, reliable AR platform.

Pro Tip:
For best reliability and consistent lock-back, periodically inspect the bolt catch and the bolt face for carbon build-up. Excess fouling can prevent positive lock-back. Also, check that your magazines are feeding properly and that your gas system is tuned correctly — under-gassing is a common cause of failure to lock back on the last round.

Combine this bolt catch with your favorite ambi mag release for a more ergonomic, dependable AR platform.
