Luth-ar LR-11L-A The Paddle Bolt Catch Assembly 223/5.56mm Oversized Black Steel
$22.55
The Luth-Ar LR-11L-A Paddle Bolt Catch Assembly is an oversized bolt catch designed for shooters who demand faster, more positive control over their 223/5.56mm AR-platform rifle. Built with an enlarged oval-shaped paddle, this assembly lets you release and lock the bolt carrier with confident, high-speed manipulation—whether you're running drills at the range, competing in tactical matches, or hunting in cold weather or gloves where standard controls fall short. The textured paddle surface gives you a secure, non-slip grip every time, eliminating fumbled resets when seconds count.
Constructed from 8620 steel and heat-treated to specification, then finished in magnesium phosphate for durability, the LR-11L-A delivers the reliability you'd expect from a purpose-built AR component. The larger engagement surface means faster bolt drops and smoother lock-back cycles, especially when you're moving fast or wearing heavy gloves. This is the kind of upgrade that transforms handling feel and speed on rifles destined for competition, duty, or demanding field use.
The assembly ships complete and ready to install, with all the springs, buffers, and pins you need included in the box. If you've ever struggled with a standard bolt catch in competition or under adverse conditions, you'll immediately notice the difference this paddle design brings to the table.
