Luth-AR The Paddle Features The Luth-AR Paddle bolt catch uses an oversized oval-shaped paddle to allow faster and more positive contact when releasing or retracting the bolt carrier on an AR-15 platform. This larger surface area makes a real difference in competition settings where high-speed bolt manipulation under time pressure can affect overall performance. It is equally useful for hunters law enforcement officers and military users who often need to operate their rifle while wearing gloves or in cold weather situations where a standard bolt catch can be difficult to engage reliably. The textured surface of the paddle adds a non-slip grip without sacrificing a clean overall appearance. Machined from 8620 steel and heat treated for durability the Paddle is built to withstand the repeated impacts a bolt catch experiences over thousands of cycles. The manganese phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance while matching the look of most mil-spec AR-15 components. This kit includes everything needed for installation including the bolt catch spring bolt catch buffer the Paddle itself and the roll pin so no additional hardware needs to be sourced separately. Designed to fit standard AR-15 rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington the Luth-AR Paddle is available for sale at GrabAGun for shooters upgrading their rifle s bolt catch for faster more positive manipulation.
