magizne catch

[saitek]

hello new member here looking for a little bit of insight as to what magizne catch to use .

we are building a aero precision upper and lower out of parts and trying to find the correct ar 10 

mag catch ,don't want to buy a complete aero parts kit ,they are impossible to get a hold of buy phone or e-mail. looking for the correct catch and were to get it .i see that there are  two different ar10 catches in the articles section of the home page.

Do you mean a regular AR mag catch or are you referring to a ambidextrous mag match like the B.A.D. unit ?

[saitek]

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 .

 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 .

I have an M5,if it was me I'd just get Aero's part.Just my 2 mags.

[saitek]

it would be easier,buti already have all the other part's installed and all i need is the mag catch and i am thrifty, cheap !

[MikedaddyH]

You can also get an extended mag catch button. Fairly cheap.

[saitek]

already looking at the extended button , thanks

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.

NOT THE RED ONE! DON'T EVER HIT THE RED ONE.

Cause then you have to get a Blue one to get you back down. (go in the way back machine ladies)
