Man, I just keep watching and waiting for something to happen here....ready to buy. 3 Gun matches will be starting pretty soon and I need to get a move on things. May have to go with a different option if things don't start happening here

Really excited about this product but.....

Are these going to be offered in the two models as the previous version? One matching the billett upper and one a better match for a standard upper.

Figure out a way to attach that bolt catch to the shaft that pushes on it, a shelf to catch your finger on the ambi release to pull it out, and you would have an ambi catch, AND release. Just saying.

That would snag on gear and cause nothing but issues.

@TNRonin - That's the same idea I've had for a while, but my lack of a CNC is keeping it just an idea...

@Slowerthanu Care to explain? I don't see how it would be any more snag prone that a regular catch/release. LWRC makes a ambi bolt catch/release,while it's design is different it works just fine...

My thought too. But a little different.
Maybe make the 'bolt release' pivot so it pushing on the near side release it & pushing on the other side of the pivot locks the bolt.
When its done I'm available for T&E.

I will try to explain from experience only. My bolt catch/ release hase never snagged on anything, I think this is due to its design. To make a setup on the right side of the gun that was large enough to place your finger under in order to manipulate out, would snag on Molle, slings, and fingers, sleeves etc.

Remember when the GIANT paddles on charging handles were the "in" thing? I got one, put it on and then took it off. It snagged on my molle all the time during training, unlocking my charging handle, the BCM Mod4 fixed that issue.

I really like this lower, I am going to buy one.
