BAD Enhanced Cast Bolt Catch – AR-15 Black Phosphate

The Battle Arms Development Enhanced Bolt Catch (EBC) is a drop-in upgrade for MIL-SPEC AR-15/M16 bolt catches. Its contours provide improved purchase on both the release and lock surfaces, helping to speed reloads from a bolt lock and making it easier to lock the bolt to the rear. The BAD EBC-IC is skeletonized to reduce weight and includes oversized control surfaces and a T-shaped heel for positive engagement. Constructed from 8620 steel with a black phosphate finish, it is produced for use on AR-15 platforms.
