I recently posted this query in the Aero Precision industry forum, so apologies if you have seen it.

I am looking for some type of bolt release extension for my Aero M5 lower. I have been researching the existing build pictures folks have posted here and the only thing I have seen installed so far is the Phase 5 Extended Bolt Release (v2), which replaces the original bolt release, and sells for around $50.

Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences with these they care to share?

Are there any other clamp-on bolt release levers that find the larger LR-308 style bolt release paddle? Thanks for any advice.

I use the Phase 5 EBR on my Aero M5. Works perfectly with no complaints.

PHASE 5 is your best choice out there

Thanks for all the recommendations on the phase 5, I went ahead and ordered one.

I prefer the DCTechs Extended bolt release beacuse its mass isn't added to the mag catch.  I've found that the directly attached levers slow the cycling of the catch enough that it sometimes lets the bolt close.   I shoot competitively and need absolutely reliable operation.  It's even more critical for a SHTF weapon.  I recommend the DCTechs lever - it has worked flawlessly for me, unlike several other extended bolt catches I've tried, even lightweight aluminum ones.
