I've read here that the mag catch bolt ends up being about 3/16" short on the dpms.  I have that problem with  a cmmg lpk on a dpms.   Question,  has any mfg addressed this problem and produced a mag release bolt that is longer?

we had the same issue with an aero m5 build using ar 15 lower components the mag catch was to short we ended up
using a strike industrie's mag catch that we got off amazon for $15.95 shipped and it did the job !

there's a mag catch specific to the DPMS LR-308 large frame AR's, the threaded stud is longer than the normal mil-spec AR-15 part.  about $10 + S&H, just the mag catch, no spring, no button.  if you want to use the shorter AR-15 part, then you should use the extended mag button to make up for the length, this is how it's done for the Aero Precision M5 308.

So where did you obtain the longer mag catch?

The reputable manufacturers who actually did engineering and design work on their rifles solved this decades ago.
