E P ARMORY BOLT CATCH MAGAZINE LOCK

This item replaces the bold hold open part on the lower. The bolt/carrier must be seated in the barrel in order to break the upper and lower to change the magazine as per the new California gun regulations. A bolt hold open capability just adds another step to the magazine change will not be missed. I tried this on a poly lower(vortek) and the lower flexed enough to prevent an effective lock on all of my various magazines. that did not occur with my forged metal lower and with a little fine tuning with a file, it worked great. Unless they are aware, most will not even notice the modification. I would have given this 5 stars if the device was finished in black and the hole for attachment was a little tighter with less play. A great simple way to address Sacramento's complex obsession with controlling the AR-15.

Here is something that isnt needlessly over engineered. It does one task and does it well. I bought 2 years ago for my two AR's. One has a Faxon ARAK 21 upper and in that case the bolt does stay open after the mag empties. I've tried other mag locks on my standard AR and they cost so much more yet do nothing more. All the bolt actions stay closed on those to upon firing the last bullet. Buy this and save your money.
