MOW Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Has anyone been able to find a Non PSA bolt catch that will work in a PSA lower? I tried to order one from PSA but it's ALWAYS out of stock. I can file down but can't add any material. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 How is it different from a DPMS or Armalite AR 10 Catch ? If proprietary , only PSA , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOW Posted July 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yes it is proprietary, but I am hopeful that some other catch could be modified to work. I just don't know which one if any. PSA never has them in stock so they have sort of trapped me. That's why I'm looking for a work around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aero Precision is a little different than straight-DPMS and Armalite (both versions), as well - so it might be the same as the PSA? Worth a shot, and always in stock. Pics of your issue, measured out, would help tremendously. Edited July 27, 2017 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOW Posted July 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I got a catch from Wing tactical and will try it out when I get all the parts for the build. If it works I'll post a pic of it if not I'll try to indicate why it failed, and then try another brand. Looked at a lot of pic's on line of different catches and am trying to find the one that most closely replicates the picture of the PSA catch. With luck maybe one can be persuaded, with a little dremel work, to function. If the one I have works on the bench then I'll get it to the range and give it a real world test then post the results.

MOW Hope its a 308 Bolt Catch's or it may fail, Ar 15 ones will somewhat work or not work at all on 308AR's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOW Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Great News! PSA has the catch in stock. I ordered 2 just in case. I would suggest if anyone has the same issue they move quickly as this item will probably sell out quickly and P SA will probably be very very slow to produce more. Thanks all for the input.

98Z5V Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Measure that thing out when you get it, so we can see what else will work, or can be modified to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
