308AR BOLT CATCH SCREW BOLT CATCH PIN
308 AR BOLT CATCH SCREW and BOLT CATCH PIN
Early on at 308ar.com we did a page that referenced the the point that the Armalite AR-10 utilized a BOLT CATCH ROLL PIN same as the Armalite M-15 (AR15) rifle while the DPMS LR-308 308 AR and similar rifles utilize a BOLT CATCH SCREW. Well despite that page we still get many questions about this small part. Based on these messages I decided a simple picture might be easier to understand in this day of sort attention spans. While I believe there are a small minority of 308 AR manufacturers using BOLT CATCH ROLL PINS just as there is an AR-15 manufacturer or two have adopted the BOLT CATCH SCREW feature. This post is meant to make folks aware of the differences.
