MikedaddyH Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Do you mean a regular AR mag catch or are you referring to a ambidextrous mag match like the B.A.D. unit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saitek Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 well guy's it is a standard aero m5 .308 ,looking at a regular latch not ambidextrous.i can locate the dpms part on the net ,i just seen for the most part have had better luck with armalite's mag catch in their build's was just resisting trying aero on the net ,they want to sell the whole lower kit ,which i dont need.it look's like armalite will sell just the catch only .

survivalshop Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I prefer the AR 10 Mag Catch , to the the DPMS . I have some photo's of the difference around here some where as well as the differences in the measurements . The AR 10 has a longer threaded stem , for the Button , for one .

MikedaddyH Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 You can also get an extended mag catch button. Fairly cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 The AR-10A mag catch has a slightly larger catch. It works great with, and was designed to work with, the Magpul LR20 Magazines. I swapped mine (a DPMS variant) with the AR-10A model and have had ZERO issues with it. The magazine actually sits a little more secure with the beefier catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
